NETGEAR AC600 Wi-Fi USB 2.0 Mini Adapter: Enjoy Fast and Reliable Wireless Connectivity

Jason M. Willis: This is a great USB plug and play WIFI connector. They are very sturdy too - I have stepped on mine and bent the USB male adapter - fortunately they simply bend back and keep working. Note: Just remember to always load the software FIRST and these are very reliable and work on laptops and desktops to add wifi. Great product!

Amazon Customer: My desktop is in a different room than my router. It does not do well picking up the wifi signal. I plugged this thing in and immediately have lightning fast internet just like my laptop has. Compact solution. Simple. Recommended

Al Larson: The only negative thing I can come up with about this product is that it takes away one of my limited USB 3.0 slots. There is also a download or cd driver you must do, but I used my computer on a borrowed Ethernet to download that before it arrived so I wouldn’t have any issue once I had my Wifi device.
I’m getting great wifi reception that just works well. I’m currently capped around 200 mbps speed where I live, so I’m unable to test its maximal power, but it maintains very fast speeds for extended periods of time. I’m extremely happy my PC is able to get updates for games once again.

TJP: Very easy to set up (you do have to download the install file from web) but other than that took all of 5 minutes to get up and running!

Tania G. Lopez: I bought this portable USB WIFI adapter to help with a computer that was located in a corner of the house which did not receive a good wifi signal. This unit definitely helped and this computer is now getting a better signal. I bought a used version of this wifi adapter as a new unit was too expensive for my liking. Overall, I would recommend this unit at the used price point, I am neutral about its price point as a new unit. Here are some of my observations:

PROS: The unit does help increase week wifi signals. I can’t tell how much definitely but my signal level increased about two bars. The unit is stable with no signal breaks or drop offs. The unit is larger than most portable wifi units that I have used in the past. With its base, I would not use this unit at a coffee shop as it is very obvious and large. However, without its base, you can connect the unit directly to your laptop with no obvious issues. The base unit also has magnets which you can use to position it on a metal surface if you have one. The unit’s driver, which was described as rather large in the comments section, is divided into two types. One type is standalone and a complete suite. I just used the...

Isaias Garcia: Tiene buena potencia para recibir senal de wifi, aun que este lejos o tras pared.

Te ayuda mucho, depende mucho de la distancia y cuantas paredes hay entre el punto de acceso o modem a la antena.

Pero a una distancia de 5 metros y 3 paredes, pude hasta jugar juegos online con solo 50 -90 ms de latencia.

Aumenta el mucho la recepcion en 2.4Ghz y 5Ghz del wifi.

No necesitas en algunos equipos el driver por que usa el por default de windows, pero siempre puedes descargarlo de la pagina oficial.

Joseph McKenzieJoseph McKenzie: UPDATE: After about a month of daily use, I'm seeing random lag spikes of 100 ms to 2 seconds. This doesn't affect normal web browsing, downloads or watching Youtube, but it's highly obnoxious when using Teamviewer or audio/video chats. This is not an issue with my router or interference, since other devices on my network don't experience it. It's not my laptop or its OS either, since if I switch back to the internal wifi card, this issue disappears (but then I get random disconnects every half hour or so again, which is why I got a USB wifi adapter in the first place). I'm docking a star because of this issue, but it's still usable so I'm continuing to use it.

I just got the A7000 to replace a previous-model A6200 that was starting to fail. These are my initial impressions on unpacking and installing it. I'll try to come back in some months and update this with how it does long-term.

Right off the bat, it's really big and chunky. If you're looking for a little wifi adapter to drop in your travel bag along with your ultra-slim laptop, this is not the one you want. However its size gives me some hope for its longevity. Fast wifi adapters with good range always get...

Kapil Soni: Though slightly bulky, may be due to dual Hz support. One has to be careful as it bulges out. Better, it should be installed with mini extension cable. Works well enough. Would recommend if you wish to upgrade your old laptop's WiFi (only 2GHz) to dual WiFi bands.
