No way? Network adapter

So, I look at this product and think - this little thing can't be of any use. Guess what. It works great. My WiFi has always been a bit slow, but after I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 5000 series laptop from 8.1 to 10, the WiFi slowed down to a point where it was unacceptable. Tried all the usual solutions - did not help. I have used other plugin products so I decided to try this one. I appreciate good customer service, but what happened was just overkill. Plugable Technologies sent me a link to download the driver before I received the product. After receiving the product, setup was easy and now my WiFi is lightning fast. Doesn't matter. A tiny flashing light on the device confirms that the wireless connection is working. In my case, I actually received a WiFi 2 setup that needed to be set up and connected. I also found it useful in my case to disable the original WiFi setting so that only WiFi 2 works with a pluggable device as the primary network adapter. When I need to reboot or reboot my laptop, I find that the system sometimes falls back to the old wireless network adapter setting. never mind I just turn it off and reactivate or plug in a new Plugable WiFi 2 setup. This is strongly recommended. Update: Used this for almost a month and still works great.
