Review on Renewed Linksys WUSB6300 - Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter by Matthew Maggot

Revainrating 3 out of 5

8x faster than built-in 802.11n, software erratic

Installed on an HP Envy H8-1520t desktop. The previous adapter was 802.11n Ralink, which according to Speedtest gave me a download speed of 21 Mbps. Linksys connected to a Comcast XB3 router via 802.11ac gave me a download speed of 163 Mbps, which is almost 8 times faster. The installation on WIN10 was automatic. Windows automatically detected the adapter. All I had to do was disable Ralink, select my wireless network, and enter my WPA password (WPS worked too). Update from 12/28/2016 Rating changed to 3 stars. When I restart my computer, the adapter is recognized but no longer finds my wireless network. You must perform a "repair" or physically unplug the USB adapter and then plug it back in for it to work. Switched to a computer with Win8.1 and the same problems.
