Linksys AE6000 Wireless Mini USB Adapter AC 580 Dual Band - Compact and Powerful Connectivity Solution Review

Updated 11/02/2019 So at first I thought it was necessary to go through the facility every time. I realize this is simply not the case and appreciate Linksys' response. Although I never bothered to consult their help email. Basically, sometimes my Lenovo laptop won't connect. Once I get it to connect everything is fine and stays connected for the entire session. But once it decides to act, connectivity becomes a real issue, usually requiring multiple reboots before it starts working again. I…

The drive works perfectly. They all experience disconnects because their computers see this device as a USB peripheral. Technically, this is a wireless USB network device that requires 100% power. Computers handle USB peripherals dynamically, which means your computer turns off their power supply when they are idle. To prevent this, go to your computer's Control Panel, located in the Start menu, and open DEVICE MANAGER. Scroll down to NETWORK ADAPTER and click the arrow next to it. Right-click…

It works. It gets the job done, very simple, I needed a wireless connection on my desktop as it wasn't anywhere near the router and running a cat cable through my house wasn't an option. I now successfully have Wi-Fi. However, I have a few problems: sometimes the adapter stops receiving or working or something and I have to remove and reinsert the adapter and reconnect to my network. I also ran into an issue where Windows suddenly turns off the device for no apparent reason. The network…

Comcast has informed me that in our apartment during the installation (Covid19 timeframe) they can only make one outlet live and it ended up on the opposite side of the apartment from my office. The only way I can access the internet on my work computer (tower) on the other side of the house, according to their technology, is to run an ethernet cable from one side of the apartment, 75+ feet, through to the other side of the living room, dining room and hallway. Not realistic. Here comes the gem

I understand why some people are having trouble with this N600 AE2500 adapter. First, installation is shockingly easy. Insert the CD, follow the instructions and you're done. I didn't have to go into the settings to prevent the computer from hibernating the adapter. What I particularly noticed is that it almost gets hot. I take the temp and it reads about 100-105F. I don't know if this is normal for the wireless adapter, it seems to get very, very warm when selecting the 5GHz band. If it works…

This little device works great with Windows 7 and 2.4GHz WiFi hence the 3 stars. On 100 Mbit FiOS I get 64 down and 34 up at 2.4 GHz. So I cannot in good conscience give this product 1 star due to my own embarrassment. This product was originally manufactured in 2012/2013, many reviews were made in 2015. For some reason I didn't read the reviews (first mistake) and thought I'd buy a new Linksys product. (second error) that supports Windows 10 and 5 GHz WiFi. Fortunately, when I upgraded my…

The wifi on my old laptop has been working for the past few months and I'm tired of troubleshooting. I decided to try this adapter because I thought it was cheap. So if it doesn't work well, I won't have much money ($19.99). I received the adapter from Revain in a couple of days and it was easy to set up and get up and running (less than 5 minutes). After installing the adapter for the first time, I tested the speed in the same room as my router. I only got half the download speed I was…
