Does not support Win11
Perhaps it is my fault for only assuming support for Win10 would mean that Win11 is backwards compatible and would support the device....

My AC600 Quit working after 3 months.
According to enclosed instructions I
have reinstalled the CD ROM software. I have done this more than three times and changed USB ports. The response I received was "Cannot find adapter" I bought at Walmart but it is too late to take it back
Where can I send it for refund or replacement?

Most modern laptops and desktop, don’t have cd
What are you supposed to, to get the install if you have no cd drive, and the adapter will not connect to the internet for you to download the installation, since it first requires the installation. This seems like something that could have been solved by including a basic install, then once connected to the internet get the full update if needed. Otherwise this is completely useless

Latency Spikes
Running Windows 10 on my home computer. This adapter has latency spikes constantly while trying to play online video games. Spikes last between 3-5 seconds, and occurs every few minutes. It leads to a lot of frustration trying to play video games. Bought another brand of adapter and have had no issues since. Do not recommend.

WiFi USB Adapter
I was surprised to discover a refurbished computer I purchased did not come with a WiFi connection. This simple device solved the problem but it did not give me the strongest connection. I had to use a WiFi booster to get a workable connection. Works as advertised and was very reasonable in price.

Don’t Buy New Computer
When I had a new 5G modem installed my computer would not connect to WiFi. After countless telephone calls with my internet provider a technician discovered my laptop’s wireless card was becoming outdated. He told me the only solution was to buy a new computer or try a USB adapter. I got the Netgear adapter and plugged it into my laptop port. It was very easily set up. Instant fix! No more problems and my speed on my laptop is unbelievable.

Should have bought one sooner. We’ve had Ethernet cables strung across the hallway for years and, even though they were covered, they have been a tripping hazard. The Netgear Adapter has saved us from the bumps and bruises from tripping over the cables.

Works good, installation stupid
A device used to access the internet. Requires you to access the internet prior to inserting/installing device. Does anyone else see a problem with that?
My old adapter was going bad, would connect then drop the connection a minute later. I had to connect, then reconnect , then reconnect…… Each time adding a bit of data for the required download. Including a USB key drive with the download onboard in the package would make much more sense.

Didn't even last 5 months
I bought this at the beginning of January in 2022. It worked well enough until roughly March/April. That's when it started dropping the connection more frequently. Now, in May of 2022, it's basically unusable. Once inserted, I usually get a message that the device has malfunctioned. After removing and inserting 1 to 5 times, it will work..... for ten whole minutes if I'm lucky. Usually I get five minutes or less. Then I get the message that it malfunctioned and the computer can't recognize it again. I got it working long enough to click "write a review," give my rating, add a title, and write one sentence of the review....
The netgear I bought in 2014/2015 lasted more than five years, and it would have lasted longer if it hadn't gotten so banged up. This one couldn't even make it a whole five months while being treated 100x better. Not happy.

Positive: Middle class dongle that does the job without any disconnects or hiccups. Would recommend for Travel,Streaming etc.
Negative: For something that you can still buy in 2022 the last driver offered by Netgear is from 2017. Had to do extensive research in order to find much newer driver,which made the adapter work much much better.

The built in WiFi in my computer went out. I bought the Netgear AC600 Dual Band USB Adapter. Very easy to install and is fast enough to meet all my needs.

Netgear AC600 WiFi Adapter works great
The AC600 is easy to setup and works awesome. Turns a computer without a wifi card into one that can go surfing.

Reliable product
Easy to understand and use this product. I was surprise how simple it was to work it. It was so easy, like a plug and play product. I would highly recommend the Netgear for any of their products. Very reliable.

Bought a refurbished CPU with no built-in Wi-Fi adapter. Purchased the Netgear adapter and popped it into a USB port. Workers like a charm!

Great device, soso installation
It's a great little device but the installation was a bit frustrating. You have to download and extract a zip file. Seriously? If I need a wireless adapter for my PC how am I supposed to do the download? Luckily I had another computer that I used for the download. After that the installation went smoothly and the device has been working flawlessly.

This Wifi adapter is great value for the price. It's fast, compatible, configurable, and has a long-range dual-band signal. The only thing it doesn't have is host mode compatibly.

NETGEAR AC600 WiFi USB Adapter
I added this adapter easily and successfully to an older Dell all-in-one with a Wi-Fi card that could only connect on 2.4. It provides an excellent faster wireless connection to my router which is about 20 feet away.

Good to Get on the Net
This product is a good and stronger alternative to the built-in adapter in your computer. Installing the software, including its own driver, is better than installing the stand-alone driver, because the software gives the user an independent way of connecting to the internet.

works great (once software is installed)
I didn't quite understand the chicken-and-egg directions: my desktop didn't have wifi with which to download the software, which is why I bought the USB adapter in the first place. After a few calls to tech, we figured out that I could use my wifi-enabled laptop to download the software, transfer to a thumb drive, and upload to the desktop. I'm sure a tech-minded person would have interpreted the directions that way from the get-go, but we got there eventually! This little thing works great for desktop gaming and we haven't had any trouble. I think it was a good investment!

Review for Visa.
This is a 10/10. I had no wifi on my gaming pc but as soon as I did some steps with a live chat agent and inserted the netgear into my pc, it worked! Wifi connections popped up. This is sure a life saver if you struggle. Now I game on my pc all because of netgear! Thank you for saving my life. 10/10 5 star product.

Misleading
The device works as advertised and that is the problem. All of the speed rates stated in the literature are transfer rates from the AC600 to the router of 433 Mbps for AC mode. However, the receive rate for the AC600 which is not listed in the literature is limited to 54 Mbps in AC mode. Thus, receiving data on my laptop is much slower than my imbedded chip which can receive and transmit at 300 Mbps in N mode. Neatgear should publish the fact that the link speeds are asynchronous receive/transmit at 54/433 Mbps in AC mode. I am currently looking for an AC adapter that is either synchronous or close to synchronous, especially one that publishes those specifications and does not try to mislead the customer by omission.

Pretty Darn Terrible
I bought this almost 2 weeks ago now, and so far it has been terrible. Constantly connecting then disconnecting from the internet, providing horrendous inconsistent speeds. I've researched and tried many solutions, none of which have done anything. If someone could help that would be amazing but honestly at this point I wish I didn't buy this.

Fixed my Internet adapter proble.
My wifi adapter on my HP laptop kept kicking on and off while working on college schooling. After talking to a computer technician, they recommended getting an adapter. After 30 minutes of programming the NETGEAR adapter, I have not had a single problem with my laptop wifi connection. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

The USB adapter works well, our laptop has a 'Network Problem',
It failed to connect to the hotspot or router.
The solution was, to use this USB ADAPTER and it functions perfectly, connects to Hotspot on our mobil phone.
It has put a new life into our Toshiba Laptop.

Why
Why, in God's name, would you make a wifi adapter that requires the user to download the driver? You realize, I bought this so that I could get online and that it stands to reason that I cannot get online without it. How would you suggest I download the driver software, genius? So I bought a flashdrive and now I'm at a friends house and do you know what I found when I clicked on the install instructions at your website for the AC600 adapter? It tells me to put the CD in the drive. Not a link to download the driver, but instead tells me to install the CD which, I'm sure you know, is not included with that adapter. It's like selling someone a car with an empty gas tank. It's no problem, just drive on over to the gas station and fill it up. That's what your tech support guy had for me. Oh, just download the driver on another device and transfer it to your computer.
