Significant wireless speed improvement

I was having trouble with my Comcast Internet speed not being what I paid for. After trying a new router it helped but I must have moved the antennas to it and despite 4 or 5 out of 5 "Antenna Strength Bars" I didn't get more than half the speed I should have. It wasn't immediately recognized in win8 for me as some people have said. He was not identified and the light was not on. After downloading the bundled installer from the CD, the drivers worked on reboot. Some people say it doesn't workโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Nothing

Recompile drivers? whoo boy

I have to say I was very excited when I saw that this Netis Wireless dongle was Linux compatible. I had high hopes that it would work out of the box with the ubuntu deb package. When I received the WiFi dongle, I was surprised to find that I had to compile the source code for the drivers myself. Okay, not my favorite thing to do, but I can do it. I ran into compilation errors on Ubuntu 15.04 because code used the __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros but -Wall which activated a warning in my version ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Very expensive

The WF2190 is handy because it shows signal strength

This Netis model #WF2190 does not work on my late 2012 Mac Mini. I installed the driver for OSX on my version of OSX "El Capitan" but no connection was found. There is only one program assistant for Windows. There is no software wizard for Apple Mac OSX. I downloaded the installation CD from the Netis website, but it is identical to the physical installation CD that came with Netis model #WF2190. There is only one driver for the Apple OSX version of Yosemite. I connected the Netis model #WF2190

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Null

Solid device, good performance, Mojave compatible.

Bought for a 2015 13" MacBook Pro that showed 'no hardware installed' for WiFi. This means there is a problem with the airport card. I replaced the card, reset the SMC and NVRAM and had the same issue which meant a problem/damage to the airport connector.Not wanting to waste time desoldering and looking for a new solder connector I decided on a cheaper and less labor intensive method and ordered one of these.The WF2180 AC600 is exactly the version I ordered based on the size and reviews.Forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Clarity

A hidden flaw in the product that you should know about or avoid

ADAPTER IS GOOD -- THE STAND SUPPLIED IS BAD A few years ago I bought two AC1200 Netis Wi-Fi USB Adapters ( WF2190 ) for my two home computers with Win 7 Premium Home Edition. They were working really well until they started losing connections a few months ago. Sometimes they were connected to the router for several days. At other times, they cut 10 times in the space of an hour. Removing the device from the cradle and reinserting it would reset the internet connection, but then, maybe an hourโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A handy item
Cons
  • So far so good

Netis WF2116 - good for what it is, great for $

I bought this unit to use with a desktop PC that needs access to our company WiFi. This device is as advertised but nothing really spectacular. For benchmarking, I used the laptop's built-in Intel 5300 AGN dual-band wireless LAN adapter. This is an external Netis WF2116 using the Realtek RTL8192CU chipset. With inSSIDer 2.0 I can see the closest access point with integrated Intel 5300 at -45 dB and with Netis WF2116 at -55 dB. While the Netis adapter works as expected, it is actually inferiorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
