Just buy THIS USB Network Adapter

I have used Hawking devices including their access points and routers for years. We have used this wireless USB hub on 3 different devices and it always works. I've used several cheap nameless devices, all of which failed in a short period of time. Save yourself the hassle, spend a little more and get this quality device.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Weight

Plug and play, laptop switches automatically

The website requires a download tab, you can find the download in the product description, scroll down a little to the support tab. Also, it comes with a CD, which is stupid and a huge waste for the environment, both for the manufacturing (packaging, instructions for use) and for me to get rid of it without even unpacking it. This is a great product! I will be buying another one for another laptop soon.

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled

Works as expected, good for network products

Works well but be sure to follow instructions. First install the drivers (using the included CD or visit their website with a ready flash drive on another computer), then restart your computer, plug it in and let it do its work. Choose a network, enter your password, and you're done. I wasn't sure what to expect as it's not Cisco, Linksys etc but I've had it for a few days now and haven't had any crashes or issues. I chose this one because it was less than $20.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor issues

I would recommend getting a USB extension cable and docking station.

Had to return Linksys because I couldn't load drivers on my old Compaq Presario (Vista desktop) and then decided to do it - it only took 5 minutes before I started surfing the wifi , 5 bar throughout. I just gave up my ISP as it has already paid for itself. I would recommend a USB extension cable and docking station to get closer to the window. Outstanding technique. UPDATE 9/30/16: Product has failed after 4 months of random use.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • ---

Works as intended. Boot delay due to the distance to the router, but I also know that the router itself is not very good, I always have problems with it. it's the one from the ISP. The software downloaded from the website for my old Mac was east to get started. It's a simple and affordable solution to moving your desktop or extending the reach of your laptop. I use not the first time, they work well.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine

Quick and easy installation, the best network adapters

I needed a desktop wireless adapter in case my internet goes down so I can connect to my phone's hotspot. The Hawking HW17ACU is very fast - I can connect to my home WiFi at 1.3Gbps, which is technically just as fast/faster than my 1Gbps wired connection. It heats up during use, I haven't tried it for a very long time, so I don't know if heat will be an issue if used for a long time. You'll also need an extension cord for the desktop; I suspect most will use it with a laptop. We immediatelyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

The device is of high quality and has worked flawlessly so far

As far as I can tell, a very good device. I have an old Win7 computer that was connected to my Comcast router with an Ethernet cable. I had to move this computer to another room and didn't want to install a long ethernet cable when I can connect via WiFi. The unit came quickly from Revain and was well packaged. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The on-screen prompts were exactly as described in the instructions. The device worked fine the first time it was plugged in andโ€ฆ
