Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disconnects constantly I have given up on this pile of crap and bought a PCIe adapter for my PC. Usually last about 15 minutes or so before disconnecting and needing a restart to reconnect to Network, awful piece of tech, avoid!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works amazing I deployed these to more than 200 desktop users when the Covid farce happened and they all went home to work... not one of them has had any issues in 5 months... I dont know what the bad review are talking about but it sounds like theres might be the installer?... just saying. These are straight up WYSIWYG... what you see is what you get... a wifi adapter that works all the dang time. WTG Netgear, you hit a home run on this one. P.S. in case you are wondering we used them at about 75% in the cradle and 25% out of the cradle... amazing product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another Example of Disconnecting I have had this device for about three weeks now and I am having the exact same issue it seems that everyone has with this... disconnecting constantly. Within a 8 hour time frame it will drop connection, as if it is being unplugged (it even gives the plug and play disconnect sound windows plays) and reconnect a few moments later. I have tried different drivers to remedy this situation but it appears that there is no fixing the issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Constant disconnects Had this for about a year now iirc. Constantly disconnects, no matter what it is plugged into, no matter the USB port, no matter if the PC goes to sleep or stays awake. Randomly and at the worst times, drops connection and frequently requires to be unplugged and plugged back in before the device will see it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad Packet Loss Unreliable to use, most of the time it has ~5% packet loss which is unacceptable, reinstalling the driver fixes it like half the time temporarily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I've never hated technology this much When it's actually connected to my network it works just fine, but whenever I need to download anything to my pc, it gives up and disconnects from my network. Sometimes it's so bad it will force my mouse and/or keyboard to stop working. I have never been so displeased by a worthless piece of junk in my life. Please stay away from this adapter, you'll be better off using any garbage left behind on trash day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from When it does decide to work it's fine This is the second adapter that I have bought, and I am experiencing the exact same issue. This adapter, when connected is actually a decent adapter. The issue comes when you want to play a game or use an application that requires a steady connection. This adapter disconnects CONSTANTLY basically eliminating the chance of playing any online games or being in any sort of online call. It is the most frustrating piece of technology I have ever attempted to use. Along with this, NETGEAR has 0 fix for this issue, and will not even acknowledge that it's super common. DO NOT BUY THIS ADAPTER.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked for few days and then went into a limb mode Now trying the stand alone version of the driver. Re-installing the netgear driver seems to help, but what kind of a product requires constant debugging and fixing straight off the shelf?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't be used with Win10 Worked fine with Win7 - upgraded to 10, immediately started throwing page faults as soon as I plug the adapter in. Uninstall\reinstall, new Genie\Standalone\Mediatek OEM tried, all unsuccessful. Seems to be a commonly reported issue - not sure how this is on the market anymore, honestly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Speeds 3 rooms away! I just bought this product this evening, installed the drivers from the included CD, plugged in the device, and boom! Good to go. I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about, this product works fine and 3 rooms away from the router, I only lose about 1-5% of my network speed on 5 ghz. Ping and latency response times of an Ethernet connection. No issues. I pay for 240 MBPS internet, and with this adapter 3 rooms away from my router, I get about 238 MBPS, which is nothing to complain about. Great product Netgear, just wish it was a little cheaper. See below my speed test.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible, disconnects constantly This product has been a problem since the moment I started using it. I'm not sure what the threshold is, but it drops its connection to my WiFi network every time it takes a certain volume of data. I can tell this because my internet diagnostics resets the adapter every time it drops connection and it fixes it each time. I work from home and use VoIP constantly, and this performance is unacceptable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works for a while then aweful This dongle works well initially. After I upgraded my OS to win10, it drops connection constantly. And I have to do diagnosis all the time to make it work. Switching between 2.4G and 5G also seems unstable. I re-installed all drivers again and it didn't work. I am using Apple airport as router. Other devices in my house all work fine, so it cannot be my router problem. Conclusion: Don't waste your money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent Works decently, as expected, but constant driver issues. When I start my PC the driver doesn't load with Windows 7x64 and I have to disconect it from USB3.0 port and reconect it so the driver could be loaded. Sometimes seversl times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works, when it works The only problem, and the most annoying, is that the device will "disconnect" from the computer, like it is not plugged in at all. I have tried multiple USB ports, front and back, with no succcess. I tried different software versions, both with the netgear app and the standalone. No other USB device does this on my computer, so it is specific to the adapter. Also, doesn't matter if I use the included extension or plug directly into the PC. It is so random too, it didn't disconnect at all yesterday, but today it did it many times, even after rebooting everything in the house. Frustrated me enough to get me to write this review... When it does stay connected it works well enough for me to work from home, occasional streaming and downloading, etc. Perfectly acceptable. It gets 2 stars because the disconnects are the absolute worst and I've spent so much time trying to get it to work only to realize there is nothing I can do, but pray it stays on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor speed & support. Software reinstall Zero I bought this over 6 months ago and almost returned it but COVID-19 made that impossible. Speeds are almost as slow as 2.4. Total waste of money. Even reinstall that was recommended made it worse.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from this thing is solid. ran speed tests Hey so I've been working from home and was hardwired. Due to a flood I had to move my workstation upstairs away from the wifi setup. I am proably 1600 sq feet away with 1 wall and this thing is lightning fast. I was wondering because a co worker was compiling about his brand and I just did a speed test on googles speed test and ookla speed and both of them came back at just under 200 which is my max i think. Saw the low ratings of this unit and figured id write a solid review as i am impressed and pleased

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic My desktop keeps getting hit by lightning through the cable internet. Lost one completely after a second hit and replaced it with another. Got hit again and lost the ethernet adapter on the motherboard. Started to research a PCI card, found this incredible device that not only was easy to setup but increased my internet speed by nearly 100 megabytes, getting 235 megabytes per second. I guess that even a desktop can be wireless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Portable wifi This definitely fits the description of portable wifi. I had to pull out an old computer to try this out since I thought all computers come with wifi! It also has dualband features which let's me choose the speed and connections to avoid interference! This is super convenient and handy if you dont have onboard wifi in your rig. However, I do feel it might be best for a pc rig vs laptop. Its secure but if you are accident prone with portability like me it could get wrecked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great adapter, poor software This is one of the best adapter I've seen, and it's very portable. But the software constantly eats over 50% of my cpu usage, and sometimes it will crash on Windows 8.1. It also seems I can't disable Roam Tendency, and it will always switch to another weaker AP. (Even if I add filter on the router, it will still try to connect and end up disconnecting

Since I used it as recommended in the user manual and had the drivers up-to-date I think it wasn't my fault at all. Since I still have over 10 years old wifi usb sticks, that still work, I can't recommend this one. It is really sad, since I was happy with Netgear devices so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not Easy To Install; Device is Very Wide The instructions included with the purchase of this adapter state to go to the website for the resource softer and appears to be easy. However, navigating the website to find the required resource was rather difficult. I am somewhat okay with computers and it took me quite awhile to figure this out. Other purchasers had this problem and the CSR response to questions was not helpful. Also, the USB is very wide and my ports are very close together making it impossible to use the adapter simultaneously with another USB device. The optional connecting cable is cumbersome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not very reliable I've had this for over 2 years, since the day I bought it, it has been unreliable. I've never had this much trouble with a wifi adapter and I work in computer/network support, so I've used a few different types thru the years. It doesn't matter if it plugged into my computer or any other, it will cut out randomly, stop working in the middle of games or downloads, fail to initialize and just suddenly decide it doesnt want to connect to any network. Netgear got there $60, will not ever get my money again.

When using this product, however, I believe the product itself buffers network packets. Which means if you're watching a video it's no problem, and speed tests will all show high throughput. They don't, however, show that it's constantly stuttering in any multiplayer video game.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't waste your money! I originally bought a different netgear product to give the pc that i built wifi capabilities. With the first product there was always terrible internet connectivity constantly reconnecting and disconnecting from my wifi. So I decided to go and try a different one of netgears products(waste of money) and bought this one which was slightly more expensive and bragged about a long range. At first the device worked well and I had fast internet on pc. After a couple of days my computer started connecting and disconnecting from the wifi every couple of minutes due to this adapter. Anytime I want to get work done? Forget it I'm going to be fighting with the adapter for 15 minutes to try to get my pc reconnected to wifi. Anytime in an online game forget it!! You won't keep an internet connection for more than an hour. I have been extremely disappointed repeatedly from netgears barely functioning products, even there wifi extenders rarely do anything. I highly recommend to anyone building a pc to just buy a motherboard with a built in adapter and netgears products are an extreme waste of time and money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great USB device In my last house my computer was hard wired via Ethernet to my access point. Now that we moved it’s too difficult to hard wire my computer so I tried this USB device and it works great. I only do large downloads of programs/updates and videos and so far this is just as fast as my wired connection. I had doubts, but they are gone now! This little device is great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Education use is my situation To put in my words, It's been a trying few months for me. Stretching my every dollar to make, sure my little boy, his mom and myself are afloat. This product came into sight as I seen the price. It was already discounted when I purchased it. Retail, if my memory serves, was 71.00$. it was discounted at 47.00$ when I spotted it. It wasn't until I checked out, that the CSR told me 18.30$ was my grand total. I was eccentric! I saved 77$ in thinking I was going to spend 100$ minimum. But the experience from unboxing, to setup, to registration for warranty, and account creation, simply a breeze. I'd say I spent no more than 7 minutes doing all of this and the product was setup. I don't have any problems to report with it so far. It hasn't kicked me off, disconnected in any way. It's lightning quick, so my much reaction is excellent for this item! I'd actually highly recommend it to anyone who is in need of something like this! Thank you Netgear! Money saver, Stress reducer, and I get to keep some of my remaining hairline too! All pluses in my opinion. As I have a liking to keeping my hair! Baldness wouldn't look good on me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My problem was solved My problem was solved with this USB WiFi Adapter. I used to have issues with connection, especially in my bedroom, and now it’s way better - no more slow and intermittent connection which makes me super happy. Set up was easy; I do not have a CD drive on my computer, so I went to the website, download the driver, plug the USB into the computer, and that’s it – set up was successful. The instructions were also included. While I love this USB adopter, it is a bit of inconvenience when moving the laptop around because the adopter sticks out of the USB port. However, I am happy that it gets the job done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NETGEAR AC 1200 WiFi USB Adapter A6210 My old computer crashed. I ordered a new one. In the mean time, I had the old one, which did not have WiFi, refurbished so I could have a second work station in another room in the house. It would not have been practical to run an Ethernet cable from our port to the computer. I asked the Staples computer technician what he would recommend so our old machine would be able to use our home WiFi. He recommended the NETGEAR AC 1200. It was very easy to install the software and connect the USB device. Then I entered our WiFi password, and we were off and running. Very simple and economical.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked exactly as I hoped My current residence is wired with fiber, but the connection is in the back of the house, in what is ideally a spare bedroom. This wireless adapter is perfect, it allowed me to put my office in the room that I wanted, just down the hall. The connection speed appears to be the same as when it was wired and it is a Dell desktop over 7 years old. I do not have a problem with the size of the adapter in its desktop dock, it really does not take up much space at all. Overall, this is a great product that met my expectations and I would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but some problem It's great! But also experienced some problem... But i solved all the problem. I have one problem when starting the pc.. it can't detect the device. So i just unplug the usb cable and plug it in again and then it works. The second problem with dropped connection i solved with a right click on the wifi so the computer forgets the wifi. I press right click and forget and then connect again...fill in the password and then it was solved. Also a reset on the router can do the trick if you have dropped connections. Iv'e connected this device with several routers and sometimes i have to change frequency on the 5gz in the router setting so the adapter can find the wifi 5gz... otherwise it will not appear. This may be a solution for dropped connection to..i'm not sure of that but give it a go if the other things don't work. If anyone els has this problems.. try this it may help

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boosts Signal I hooked this up to my laptop which is really old. I used to only be able to use the 2G wi-fi on it but since I plugged this in I can now connect to the 5G, which is great. What I didn't like about it was the fact that it came with a CD-ROM to install it like something from back in the 90s. I think a corresponding app would be a lot more efficient than installing a software. Otherwise I like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, so good! Where has this wifi adapter been all my life? I recently had to downgrade to a new laptop that is less powerful than my older one. That downgrade came with a poor wifi card as well. I live in a two-bedroom apartment and struggled to stay connected to the internet until I began to test this adapter. The USB connector is super convenient and portable, and it is able to help my pitiful laptop stay connected to the wifi in my already tiny apartment. I would recommend this to anyone whose laptop or desktop experiences similar issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nothing New or Different I got this thinking that this product has been updated with some new tech. Boy was I disappointed. This product may be outdated and has no use. I'm not sure of what new product that has an option to connect to wifi, that doesn't already have that tech capability apart of its design? If there is one, that item could also be outdated. So for antique technology might have use for this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Adapter worked fine until one month after Buy I bought this adapter a year ago, and after a month, I enjoyed it, but at the one month, mark was when I started to have lots of problems with the adapter because it kept on turning off by itself. I kept on using the adapter for 5 months with the same problem going on, so I decided maybe it's the drivers. So after finding the correct drivers from Netgear, I installed it, and it worked fine most of the time, but it still turned off by itself even on other computers I had. It was just a few days ago when I was browsing the web, and the adapter turned off again, so I did the usual of unpluggin the adapter and plugging it back in, but except this time it did not turn on. I am still impressed it even made it this far, but yes now it does not turn on in whichever computer it is plugged in and now I have to get a new adapter to connect to the wifi for my desktop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast I like to stream movies on my PC and it's an older PC. I got the Netgear - USB WiFi Adapter. The set up was so easy went by the directions and in about 15 min the speed was very fast. I like the idea that I can use another cord to bring it closer to my modem for a better signal I am glad I got this so I am ready for movies all winter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super helpful! This little gadget is super helpful. Are use this Wi-Fi adapter on an older laptop of mine that tends to struggle with connection and not have the best speed. This Wi-Fi adapter really helps extend the Wi-Fi and helps my computer speed things up a little bit more and I believe it is because of the Wi-Fi adapter that I am now able to navigate the Internet faster and with more ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Used to work great - but the driver is garbage Holds a connection for about 15min on a good day before giving up and forcing me to reset my network settings. This USED to be a good adapter when I bought it years ago, but now its basically a paper weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and effective I was having issues with my laptop connecting thru Wi-Fi. I didn’t know whether I needed a whole new laptop but I asked a salesperson at the store if there was a quick fix and he recommended I try this. It was really easy to install and works perfect. I’ll eventually buy a new laptop when I can afford it but this is great for now, plus now Wi-Fi is actually faster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Must Have I am not tech literate (my son would agree, I still use a flip cell phone. If it ain't broke, no need to upgrade. However, I took the chance on this wifi adapter. The genie software on cd had simple instruction for installation with easy set up push n connect. This adapter provides faster connection, speed and range increased, and has a reliable connection for my browsing and streaming needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Wifi Adapter So, I've had this for a few weeks now and it does a good job for adding Wifi to my desktop computer. I like really that the kit includes a long USB cord and dock making it easy to access it for easy pairing with my router. I did do a benchmark test on this to compare speeds etc compared with my wired ethernet connection. The Netgear adapter topped out at approximately 79.5 mbps versus the wired connection of 192.6 mbps. Very good performance for a wireless connector. Quite acceptable and robust for this type of connection. So, while it won't be my first choice (faster speeds with ethernet) I think this is a great adapter for older desktops. Also included is a Setup CD and there is a link provided for the software if you don't have DVD/CD drive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Helpful! Using this great wi-fi adapter has definitely made a significant difference! It’s easy to use and the timing couldn’t be better. The news currently is kind of crazy yet hopeful, so having strong wi-fi is a necessity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from By far the WORST adapter I've ever seen This item shouldn't even be on shelves when the drivers are this bad. will constantly drop connection and even high packet loss with any connection. outrageous, will no longer buy netgear products. this is a joke.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not Worth the Money I have been struggling with this adapter for the past several months. It took me a minute to find the drivers needed to make it work properly. Then I had to go in and try and change some of the adapters settings in order for my wifi not to drop at random times. Now after 4 months, its having troubles being found as a device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features I'm very happy with this adapter. Was quick & easy to set up.I like that it comes with a stand making it ideal for the spacing of the USB ports. It only sticks out as far as a flash drive so I can fully extend it for maximum reception. My signal is better and my connection is smoother and more stable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stable, good signal quality product Much better wireless adapter that is stable, faster and more reliable than other brands that even though may cost less, the quality is less. Will definitely be buying more of these

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well, nice design, easy setup This USB WiFi Adapter works well enough in my residence for my internet needs. The setup is easy and I like that it is USB 3 but the setup GUI is dated. Many PC's do not have disc drives so a plug and play option would have been better. It is a stylish piece of hardware and has a nice desktop dock but the adapter is quite big.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like the design. The design of this wi-fi adapter is my favorite part of the device. It is stand alone with a USB cable, so the device isn’t sticking out of a port. It also allows you to move the position of it for better reception. Speaking of reception, it is excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unfortunately only 802.11N after > 2 hours of trying to install including updating firmware. adjusting settings to ensure that 5ghz only was used and trying to force AC standard, I had to return the adapter to the shop for a refund. My old adapter worked perfectly well before and after the attempt with Netgear at 866.7 speed, so parameters of the router are correct. No problems with Firewall nor other interference from other drivers, since I deinstalled them. Disappointing

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reaching perfect speeds Not sure why others have such bad experiances with this Wifi adapter. Maybe they're running they Wifi Network on 2.4 Ghz and have too many of them in their building. I run my Wifi on 5 Ghz and reach 760 out of the 866 Mbps theoretical maximum. With samba file transfers between my NAS and my computer reaching 350 Mbps. I am using the default Windows 10 drivers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Vast speed difference I had an outdated internal adapter, so I bought the Netgear AC 1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi USB Adapter. I'm shocked at the incredible download speeds I am getting now. I wish I would have bought it sooner. Very easy to install. You can not go wrong for the price. Highly recommended.
