"Convenient size, but runs warm"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Tried this unit to improve the WiFi on an older dual core laptop, but with mixed results.

PROs: ** Small size – really convenient when poking out the side of a laptop, ** 802.11N compatible ** Low priced adapter

CONs: ** Runs quite hot, probably due to the small size. ** For an older computer, we didn't see an improvement in browsing speed – USB & other issues may have slowed things down, so hard to comment. ** Getting the driver software enabled on XP was tricky – other web reviews have also commented on this. You may need someone experienced to help set this up.

Conclusion It works, convenient size, and fairly cheap. But maybe not the best option for old laptop computers that already run a bit hot.

"Great for Windows 7/8"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Worked great for me. Then it stopped working so I tried to update the drivers to find out the drivers are not for Windows 10

"Weak internal frame hooks and lack of grip on outer casing."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The metal skeleton's hooks inside do not hold onto the external casing sternly enough. This dongle has no grip to account for its low profile, thus it was slippery. So, I tended to dig close to the port and then pull. This amplified the the first issue. Stronger hooks or grip would have been more favorable.

"Good if you need WiFi connection"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

From what I had tested;

  • Wifi connection is around 15–40MBPS
  • Hotspot connection is around 5–20MBPS

I would love if it worked faster to be useful for my online businesses and will be testing it again in the capital to see if its any better on hotspot.

Other then that, I will say if you need a WiFi connection and don't have ethernet or an ethernet dongle, enjoy the nights of HD YouTube and probably not too much else.

"Only 2.4GHz"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Works excellently just plug into your PC and now you have internet. However it won’t connect to any 5GHz Networks since it’s only supports 2.4GHz. Overall good product, does what it says.
