The Linksys Dual-Band Wifi 5 USB Adapter is a great adapter, you plug it right in and it goes to work. It is very fast and handy when you want to get online. I recommend getting it. Its worth the price. You get your monies worth.

This USB wireless Wi-Fi adapter works so well I bought two of these. The Price is Right I compared with other online vendors and a price was the same so go to Best Buy and get yours. I had tried another one for my very popular brand and it didn't work.

This device was what I needed for my son's new desktop, I simply plugged it into USB port and it worked right away. it did come with the CD-rom in the event I needed it but I did not in this instance. A+++ The Best buy Geek Squad Crew was on top of what I needed like they always are, Thank you! A+++

The setup was slightly hard considering I didn’t have a wifi connection on the computer itself but customer service was amazing in assisting setup. The product itself works okay for what it’s made for, it just has a couple problems when disconnecting and reconnecting occasionally (when I turn on the computer) but other than that it works fine! It also is slightly curved which is great for how the back of my computer is, helps me find a port for it easier.

Bought this to fix my wife's laptop. Her internal wireless had a corrupted driver and we were under the gun. Bought this, downloaded the driver to a usb and boom we were good to go. Now part of my traveling "dr bag" (I'm an IT professional) so it's with me in my go bag at all times. Dependable, fast and works as advertised. I included a bottle cap in the photo for scale.

My built in wifi adapter in my laptop wasn't picking up a strong signal so I added this usb adapter with a USB3 extension and the signal is much better. A less expensive way to get better wifi reception than running a hardline or other choices. Taping it to the back of the monitor is low tech but effective.

Helps my 2.4 ghz laptop (NOTEBOOK) be more compatible and stable being this adaptor uses 802.11 ac protocol with 802.11 ac or older protocol from my gateway (combination modum and router).
It would be helpful if adaptor was narrower for those of us who have USB ports close together.

I really need a way to connect my tower to the Wi-Fi in my hotel. This was the easiest choice to make. USB 3.0 Connection is rapid fast and install was truly plug and go.
I highly recommend!

Bought this as a replacement a few weeks ago for an adapter that had gone bad. I am using it on my desktop computer and am absolutely 100% satisfied with it. I love that it has two lights that are always on when the internet is working. I am very pleased with my Linksys products.

The washer and dryer I purchased are the perfect size for my needs. I can easily fit a king size comforter in both.
