Works Great on Dual OS

I want to start this review by saying I am not a paid reviewer nor did I receive this product with any type of discount. I have a dual-OS machine that runs Windows 10 and Linux Mint 17.3. On Windows 10, it was just plug n play. I plugged the device into an open USB slot and it worked almost immediately. No need to install drivers or set up any wireless management software that is included. Simple. On Linux Mint 17.3, I had a little bit of an issue getting the driver to compile. This adapter comes with Linux drivers, documentation, and an install script to compile the driver for you. Copy the Linux folder to your desktop, make the install.sh file executable, and then run it. After doing this I kept getting make errors, but dug through the included documentation a bit and found that the driver was optimized for kernel 3.16. I switched to this version of the Linux kernel (if you don't know how then Google it for your distro) and the install script ran smoothly and I was connected to my WiFi network soon after. I have been using this adapter on both Windows 10 and Mint 17.3 for a couple of weeks now with no issues. Great product at a good product and it works as advertised.

Seamless integration with Windows 10 - screw in the antenna ...

Seamless integration with Windows 10 - screw in the antenna, plug it into USB, and give Windows about 30 seconds to figure out that "Hey! I can see wireless now!" and then follow the normal steps to configure for your wireless network. Easiest installation I've ever done. I want to test to see if I can get improved gain with this over the pre-installed wireless devices in my laptops, but don't want to take it off the desktop I installed it on... oh, and the speed is sufficient to make it a viable alternative to running ethernet around doorways (I wanted the lazy option over running ethernet everywhere in rewiring some things). Update - Two Months In: Still very satisfied with the product. Periodically (maybe twice a week), I'll lose all connection to the wireless network, and it will take at most five minutes to sort itself out (usually less than 2 minutes). On a device that is online 24-7 that is non-critical, I consider this an acceptable mean time between failures. Still would highly recommend to anyone.

Installation was easy on Windows 7

Alright. This product works well. I was hesitant to make the switch to wireless for my desktop computer. I've been used to having a direct line or powerline adapter for a wired connection, but a new living situation required the use of wireless only. This adapter is nearly as fast as another PC on a wired connection at my location. I connected wirelessly to a 802.11ac router. Installation was easy on Windows 7: install the driver with the included disk (or download one from the website), then plug it in. The whole process took 2 minutes. Lastly, the packaging was pretty nice but that doesn't really matter.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

I am very pleased with this wifi adapter. I chose this one because it was the highest rated on Amazon at the time of purchase. Installation was simple, and my download and upload speeds have nearly tripled. My desktop PC had an internal wifi adapter plugged into the motherboard, which is now 8 years old. The adapter wasn't capable of 5 Ghz or newer encryption technologies and I was running into trouble connecting to my Comcast wireless gateway at home. My download speed was 28 Mbps and upload was 5. I purchased this USB network adapter to resolve my issues, and it was a success. To install the driver and utility, run the installation disk first before you plug in the USB. Note the instruction pamphlet says to plug the USB in first, but a separate piece of paper was included in the box that specifically corrects that and states to run the disk first. If you have an old network adapter in your computer, also disable that adapter before trying to connect with the new one. When I first plugged in the USB wifi adapter, I ran an internet speed test (Ookla) and was only getting 2 Mbps down and 3 up, despite the USB utility software saying my signal and link were 100%. Something was obviously wrong, so I tried plugging the USB adapter into a different USB port and that did the trick. All of my USB ports are 2.0, but I heard that some ports provide more power than others, so if you run into a similar issue, try another port first. My internet download speed is now 94 Mbps and upload is 12 Mbps (note this is on 5 Ghz channel instead of the 2.4). I am very happy with this product.

It didn't work properly at first, but ...

Forget the brand name, this is a Realtek RTL8811AU Wireless LAN USB Network Adapter (or at least mine is). Out of the box and connected to my Windows 10 laptop or PC to my 150 Mbps Broadband, I got the same results: as expected upload speed but incredibly slow (2.5 to 3.7 Mbps) download speed on both bands. Attempting to install the drivers from the disk resulted in a message that I had the latest drivers already installed. Before giving up, I went to the Realtek.com website, then selected “Downloads” (top line) and then navigated through “Communications Network ICs, Wireless LAN ICs, WLAN NIC, USB” and finally, “Software”. I clicked on “Global” to download the file, unzipped it when the download was complete and then updated the driver on the adapter. SUCCESS. Now I get the same upload speeds as before, but my downloads speeds are now 57Mbps on the 2.4G band and 192 Mbps on the 5G band. Hope this information helps anyone dealing with the same issue.

Nearly a 50% increase in download speeds.

I purchased this for a two year old, Win10, desktop setup in my garage. I wasn't getting great speeds with just the built in wireless adapter. So I decided to give this a try. The computer is about 30-40 feet from the wireless router and one wall separates the router and computer. I have a 30/30 MB fiber optic connection. I did a series of speed tests on several different sites. I did tests using both a VPN connection to several different locations and without. I even did some file download testing. On average, I got 14.86 download / 20.89 upload speeds WITH this adapter. With my on-board/built in adapter I got an average of 7.88 download / 19.85 upload speeds. Not knowing a lot about networking, I have no idea why the upload speeds were about the same, but download weren't. It could be that all I have is a built in adapter not set up correctly and this is redundant hardware. But I'll take the almost 50% increase in download speeds thank you very much! My only complaint about the adapter was that the installation instructions are terrible and that the setup was a bit more complicated than plug'n'play. But it was easy enough with a little work. One final note, make sure to try the antenna in different positions. It did seem to change the speeds I was getting.

Wifi adapter for gaming desktop

I bought this wifi adapter for my fiance. He has a relatively new (less than a year old) gaming tower with rather good components (hard drive, processor, graphics card). The only issue he's had with it is the internal wifi adapter that has NEVER worked for him. We got a small external Asus adapter from Best Buy but it alwasy ended up over heating and lagging him after only an hour of gameplay. It became to the point where gaming was a hobby that turned into an unnecessary frustration. I searched for a new adapter online and came across this. It was a really good price and the qualitt is amazing. His first use with it showed a night and day difference with his gaming! Occasional he still experiences lag but that's always because of our internet provider. So: -good price -good for gaming for several hours at a time -no issues with overheating works well even when rhe router is across the apartment from our game room Highly recommend!

Saved My Bacon

I needed this item for 1 day so that I could work, while waiting for my Local ISP to come and install my own personal internet line. This little adapter let me use the house wireless. In other reviews and questions, people with Windows 7 had problems installing from the CD, so I downloaded the drivers a a couple of days beforehand. Installation was a breeze, and I was connected so fast! I wish I had bothered to order one of these sooner. Very handy to have in an emergency. Might order another one just to have on hand.

May have to force to 802.11 ac

It is bigger than I thought it would be and takes up 2 USB 3 ports, 1 to plug in and 1 to cover because it is so fat. If they would have made it just a little smaller this would would not have been a problem. The other thing is it is slow when letting it choose the frequency for my situation. I ordered it because I just got fiber to the home with 50Mbps download speed. But speed test showed I was getting about half that, which was disappointing. Went into Device Manager and Network Adapters (it is the Realtek 8812BU) and had to go to advanced and under wireless mode force it to 802.11ac. Then I could get very close if not at the 50Mbps download speed. Other than that it is setup drivers, plug it in and forget it.

The BEST WiFi adapter for embedded systems

I probably use this adapter much differently than most people but the fact that it works for my specified application, means it's all the better for your general use. We use these adapters in our embedded media servers. We use Win7 Embedded with a custom UI. The software that comes with this adapter is absolutely perfect for circumventing Windows WiFi allocation interface. The removable antenna is nice for mounting the device at the panel or internally and either extending the antenna or having it connect directly on the outside of the back-panel. Excellent stability, wireless range, and software interface.
