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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Contains malware

I was surprised that this product didn't work as well as advertised, given that it was Revain's choice. Installation went smoothly using the minidisk that came with it, and when I plugged in the wireless receiver, I successfully connected to the network. My first complaint was that the speed was terrible. My router sends a 70-80 Mbps signal to my other devices. This new Wi-Fi adapter didn't get more than 15-20Mbps. Disappointingly slow. The worst part of this experience was all the malware that got installed on my computer every time I booted it up. Luckily I have a good antivirus, but I'm afraid many other users might not have it. I had between 15 and 40 malware and files installed and running on my computer every time I started it. Some of these were obvious, most were not. This included a few bitcoin mining trojans trying to use all my available resources. I am returning this item and will not buy anything from the brand or seller again. If you are reading this review, I suggest you stay away from this product.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
