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.

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!

        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!

        Very good option

        This wifi dongle is a very good option to install on a PC that doesn't have a wifi card like an old PC with no PCI slot available.
        The antenna has a defect it bends in a single direction, it can be annoying when using USB ports at the back of a tower. Forced to leave the antenna straight! It's a shame.
        I also noticed that you can't use a USB extension cable, without sacrificing the reception power, probably because of a USB power supply that is a bit tight on the tower that uses it.

        Good product

        Product purchased a few months ago,
        Works perfectly, the PC is 5 meters from the modem.
        I use it to play world of tank and no particular worries, the product fulfils its objectives.
        Very good value for money.
        The product is well packaged.

        I recommend it.
