Review on 💻 Belkin N750 DB Wireless Dual-Band USB Adapter - High-Speed IEEE 802.11 a/b/g (F9L1103) by Michael Nastanovich

I have a regular who lives in the second bedroom/office so I had to move my computer to the master bedroom. The layout of the house is such that my router can only be in its current location, so I decided to connect wirelessly. For the record, my main use case is gaming, specifically Counter-Strike competitively, so any timeouts or disconnects are totally unacceptable. Previously, I found that the 2.4GHz spectrum in my building was saturated and barely active, so I knew I would need a dual-band solution. When I first installed it I was very happy; Speed and latency were about what I get with a wired ethernet connection. Then it went downhill. I accidentally started getting timeouts on the constant "ping 8.8.8.8 -t" which wouldn't happen on other computers on the network, so I knew it was something local. Disabling and re-enabling the device in Device Manager fixed the issue so I was pretty sure I had found the culprit. So I decided to update the drivers because the driver that Windows automatically detected was from 2013. Okay, download the drivers from the Belkin website, try to install and when prompted to insert the device, bam, blue screen. Every time, in every port. Others of these comments had the same problem. Now I'm stuck with an adapter that I have to unplug and plug back in several times a day for it to work. It goes without saying that this will be my last Belkin product.
