RVS: Bought this as an upgrade to my AWUS036NH of several years ago, also from Canadian Shoppe. I am able to receive 802.11 AC from a public WI-FI radio almost 2 blocks away using the included 5dB antennae. Although the signal is weak at around -82dB, the connection is robust enough for general web surfing. Only drawback is the adapter-stand that is USB 2 and is rather unstable on its own. My fix was to use double-sided tape at the adapter base upon a heavy metal base for stability. It is a good product. Would however like the option to use higher gain antennae from ALFA if available.

Franco: Ho acquistato questo ricevitore wireless per poter usufruire del wifi a due piani di distanza dal modem (circa 10/12 metri di distanza con due piani di mezzo) e mi posso ritenere molto soddisfatto: a 2.4GHz e USB 2.0 le velocità di download e di upload risultano non molto inferiori a quelle raggiunte con connessione tramite ethernet e dichiarate nella pagina di configurazione del modem, e comunque molto soddisfacenti considerata la lontananza dal modem e gli ostacoli presenti. Consente senza difficoltà di visualizzare video in HD o dirette in streaming.
In particolare, per quanto mi riguarda, a suddetta distanza la diminuzione della velocità è:
-14% in download
-25% in upload

Il driver di connessione è abbastanza intuitivo, su Windows 10 in totale penso che 15/20 minuti siano sufficienti per installare e collegarsi a una rete. Fondamentale per un buon segnale è che il puntamento delle antenne verso il modem sia abbastanza preciso, altrimenti la connessione potrebbe funzionare a scatti o avere una velocità inferiore a quella che potrebbe ottenere con il puntamento adeguato; utile a questo scopo il supporto incluso nella confezione che permette...

Rick O'Shea: I'm running Windows 10. I received this product, unboxed it, assembled the antennae, and plugged it into the back of my computer. Like most folks, there's a ton of stuff plugged into my computer, but this product had no problem sliding in.

Windows 10 found the driver, and I immediately had a list of wifi networks available. Impressive! In fact, my network was noticeably faster than the WD Powerline kit (200 Mbps) than I had been using. I wanted to measure how much faster, so I went to the website to download the utility.

First problem: The utility isn't available as a download from the support page on their website; only the driver. I didn't need the driver, because it was working fine. So, pop the included DVD into the optical drive, and start the install. The installer walks me through a bunch of options, but the one option I'm looking for (choose to install the utility only) isn't there; I have to install the driver from the DVD to get the utility. Unfortunately, there's no mention of Windows 10 in the installer, only Windows 8. I cross my fingers and hope I don't screw up a working wifi adapter.

Install and reboot. I have the utility, but...

rich brooke: I bought it about a month ago and have had no problems with it. It works well, and hasn't been giving me any problems lately. That's the short version. Below is a long version for anyone who really wants more information. (By the way, I would definitely recommend this product.)
Anyway, on to the long version. At first I was a little worried about buying it given some of the negative reviews and all of the driver problems. I'm running a Win 8.1 machine. But bought it anyways just to try it. The shipping was great, I received it in 2-3 days and the device was completely intact and new.
I tried just plugging the adapter and letting Windows auto install the driver for it because people have said that the driver on the CD didn't work. Windows did download a driver for it, but the driver didn't seem to work. It could see Wi-Fi networks around my house, but I couldn't connect to them, so I used the CD to install the driver and the Realtek USB service (after uninstalling the old driver that Windows downloaded). In the event that you do plug it in and the driver installs and you want to uninstall it, unplug it, go into device manager, and uninstall the driver. You...
