Review on High-Speed USB WiFi Adapter with Dual Band 2.4G/5.8Ghz and External Antenna for Windows/Mac by James Ssims

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Seamless integration with Windows 10 - screw in antenna.

Fully integrated with Windows 10 - screw in the antenna, plug it into USB and give Windows about 30 seconds to say "Hey!" Now I can see wirelessly! and then follow the normal steps to set up your wireless network. The easiest install I've ever done. I want to test if this can give me improved gain over the pre-installed wireless devices on my laptops, but I don't want to remove it from the desktop I have it installed on. Oh, and the speed is enough to make it a viable alternative for hooking up ethernet around doors (I wanted a lazy option rather than running ethernet everywhere while I rewire some stuff). Update - two months later: still very happy with the product. Periodically (maybe twice a week) I lose all connection to the wireless network and this lasts no more than five minutes (usually less than 2 minutes). On a device that's online 24/7, which isn't critical, I think this is an acceptable mean time between failures. However, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Hard to say
