    Product to be avoided!

    Product that works well for only a few months, and becomes harmful afterwards, as I connect peripherals to the USB port, the Wi-Fi key disconnects more and more, example: only picks up one connection, switches off for no reason. I don't recommend it at all!

    Nickel

    Works very well, but you have to look for the drivers for a long time if you have a laptop without a CD drive.

    Excellent

    Nothing negative to say about this USB-Wifi adapter.
    The range is excellent and so are the data rates in AC.
    The antenna is easily orientable in all directions.
    The adapter is directly recognized under Windows 10.

    Questionable performance

    The range is not great compared to other cheaper wifi sticks. The antenna position setting wears out very quickly, in a few weeks, without touching it, the resistance is already weakening. Not a good value for money, the speed of the connection is not great. It is better to go to another brand.

    Good product but the installation disk does not work

    I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product, easy to use, provides a good speed and a stable connection during my gaming sessions. I will only reproach the installation disk for not having worked (requesting administrator authorisation even though I am the administrator) but the problem is quickly solved by downloading the latest drivers from another PC!
