Review on πŸ“Ά Enhanced N300 Wi-Fi USB Adapter by NETGEAR (WNA3100) by Casey Mann

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Seriously, what the hell is that?

I received this in the mail after waiting for the usual delivery time and when I went to install the software it was incredibly slow but I waited and it was done. I was having trouble connecting to my WiFi router (which is about 10ft from me) and it wouldn't connect via WPS after 3 attempts, so I manually entered my password and it eventually connected. After I unplugged the ethernet cable I saw that there was no internet connection so I waited and after about 3 minutes it finally connected to the internet. I then tried to download YouTube and watch a 1080p video and it just wouldn't load and then got disconnected from the internet. Frustrated, I reconnected with their crappy driver and again it said I had no internet. After waiting a bit more, I jumped into my favorite game and my ping was higher than usual (around 60-80 on US servers) and my packet loss went up to around 15% at times, which was ridiculous. . Then I experienced HUGE ping spikes (up to 999) and I got disconnected from the game. So I reluctantly plugged my ethernet back in and came here to rant and warn everyone to find a product from a knowledgeable company that can actually work.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • too boring
