Pros & Cons
Pros
Great value for the money. Far better than my old dual-band adapter. Shows up directly in networks as wifi 2 and operates almost like the built-in wifi on my laptop.
Cons
They all die in under or around two years, planned obsolescence to take more of our money. Ridiculous policy. Piece of doo-doo.
The internal network speeds for the dual bands adapters are horrible and their speeds would fluctuate from 300 mbps to 270-180-15-6 mbps. The adapter is really big and gets in the way all the time. The computer is only about 20-25 ft from the router.
Frustrated with my snails pace and intermittent experience in cyberspace. Constantly drops signal. It seems to drop connections constantly.
Used to work fine for a while. Stopped working after 2 days of use. Preparing to return it today. Returned to amazon. Received refund without issue.
Highlights
Quality
0 usb adapter cable so that i don't have a repeat of last time, and all in all i am extremely satisfied with this product.
This adapter works exactly as advertised and is better than factory installed adapters.
Even though my laptop is n capable it is not compatible with the 5 ghz frequency that my router uses.
Thus far i have not had that problem with the belkin adapter.
Price
4ghz and i needed to be able to take advantage of the higher 5ghz my internet provider offers.
Shipping
Love it no problems and fast shipping

Manual driver setup is required and you will need a second computer with a working internet connection for installation on a computer without a disk drive or on a linux system

Before i knew it im looking at 1500 laptops and they were great for what they offered but all i needed was to upgrade my wireless adapter so i dropped the new computer idea and started looking at reviews for a usb wireless adapter
