Pros

Above expectations. Very easy to install, worth the money. Easy to setup as well. Driver/setup minor issues.

It provides a very strong connection to wifi networks and is pleasantly small and reliable. I run with a spectacularly old cpu, well past it's prime, so when i'm trying to run the latest games i require all the cpu power i can get.



Cons

Appalling product with abysmal customer service. Constantly disconnecting the actual adapter from brand new pc. Total piece of * - utterly useless.

    That being said i have had a couple glaring problems with the product so far i get frequent complete packet drops whenever the adapter attempts to update its list of available networks


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This can be fixed by turning off network searching altogether in windows 10 this is the netsh wlan set autoconfig enabledno interfacewifi 2 command in command prompt but if your entire network drops which happens when the pc goes to sleep you will need to turn network searching back on before use

    This gave me a headache for about 6 months before i figured out the network adapter was the root cause as well as find a solution
