Review on Cudy WU600 AC 600Mbps USB WiFi Adapter for PC - Reliable Dual Band WiFi Dongle for Desktop and Laptop - Easy Installation, Small Size - Compatible with Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10 by Stetson Olsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The installation wasn't as "automatic " as one would expect from the literature, but still a good adapter.

The package arrived as promised. Great price, fast delivery. But the installation on Windows 10 wasn't plug-n-play like other USB WiFi adapters in this price range. First off, the documentation says it appears as a removable USB storage device (not exactly WHERE it appears!). (According to another post, it shows up in the "Drives" list under "My Computer" and contains all the installation files.) So I looked for it in the Control Panel and it was there under "USB Controllers". ". I disabled and re-enabled the driver and that seemed to help. My wifi icon in the system tray said "Available Connections" and it connected to one of them after I gave my wifi password. I have a speed test and got 106Mbps from my 100Mbps spectrum service. Decent. But then I went to CUDY.com and downloaded and installed YOUR driver. 118Mbps from the same 100Mbps line. So be sure to install the CUDY drivers!In hindsight I should have just downloaded the driver pack to get started with that and it would have done the install without having to mess with the Control Panel Device Manager properties.In the end I am very Happy with my purchase and if it weren't for a minor hassle during installation I would have given it 5 stars It works as advertised.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Almost everything is available
