Excellent speed for the price when on sale

So far so good. Before, I was using a to-link 802.11ac usb WiFi that should have provided 480-566mbps speed. Best I could do is 57mbps. Maybe some of it was due it being under a desk but since it showed full bars on signal strength, I would have figured I should have eked out at least 200mbps. With this new unit, I am seeing over 700mbps on WiFi 5 and 1200mbps on WiFi 6. Huge difference even for basic web page loads. I just hope the quality stays excellent. Installation was a bit of a chore as you can t just plug and play. Must first install net gear program which needs to see the internet(so old WiFi card must stay installed). Then pull the usb with this program on it and install the hardware. Not too big deal but for someone who doesn't cope well with these extra steps, may create minor heartburn.

Good Little Gadget

I had to switch my internet from wired to AT%26T Air. Unfortunately, my computer is not Wi-Fi compatible. The last thing I wanted to do was spend more time on the phone with AT%26T because not only would it have been frustrating, but they would have tried to sell me more equipment, or worse yet, pay a monthly "rental" fee to use that equipment. I also did not want to buy a new computer. So, after a bit of research, I found this Netgear Nighthawk Wireless Network Adaptor. It was important to me to choose an adaptor that could provide enough speed to handle all of the things I need to do on my computer every day. I also wanted to make the right choice the first time around. I'm really tired of giving in and buying cheaper versions of products, only to be disappointed in how well they work. This seemed like something that would be worth spending a little bit more on, if it performed as well as it claimed. This adaptor came with a thumb drive containing the installation program, which included everything I needed to get started. The adaptor itself has a stand that it plugs into. The stand has a cord that is around two feet long that plugs into your computer's USB port. This gives you a little bit of leeway on where you can put the adaptor. So far it's been working well. It picks up the wi-fi signal with ease. The only hitch has been that I've had to reconnect to the wi-fi every time I turn the computer on because it refuses to connect automatically. But that's really not a big deal. I would buy this little gizmo again for sure.

Remember ‘plug & play'? Well - this epitomizes that concept.

My legacy laptop 2.4 internal WiFi interface was fine 5-years ago. After trying (returning) several other brands and models, I decided to try NetGear because I was so impressed with the NightHawk WiFi router/firewall I purchased about a year ago. I didn't want need ‘ultra fast' with system system, so I went with the AXE3000. The first thing that I enjoyed was that the setup removed all of my legacy adapters from the view of my always invasive Win11 OS. After completing setup, I rebooted and just sat back and the NetGear AXE3000 ‘do its thing'. My DL speeds through another companies WAP's I installed was SO much faster, even faster than the ‘other' WiFi 5GHz plug-in I was replacing. I've had ZERO issues with compatibility, and the sensitivity of the AXE3000 allows me to move farther on to the back porch and still work at reliable and greatly improved speeds. Couldn't be happier.
