    No problem with Win10, locked at 100 Mbps with 5G!

    It was tested on win10. The installation process is very poor in my opinion because instead of being recognized by Windows and installing itself, it has something like another partition that gives you a setup.exe, which makes it probably impossible to install it on Linux. However, for general use on Windows, it is good, the speeds are good, and it reaches 5GHz as promised. Nevertheless, this particular adapter is NOT for gaming because it does not provide a stable ping.

    The most useless thing I have bought and it is circulating. Wasted money. I broke it into pieces out of frustration and connected it with a cable

    I installed it in my htpc, which is 2 meters away from the switch, with just a hallway in between, and I didn't want to run a cable for aesthetic reasons. The switch provides 50Mbps, and I get a solid 10Mbps on the htpc without any obstacles in between. At least it has never disconnected...

    Fast installation by downloading the drivers from dlink (be careful to download the drivers for the correct hardware revision, mine was the C version), within 2 minutes the computer recognized it and the indicator LED turned on.
    Connected to the 5GHz band of my modem, I now have ~150mbps (meaning 70+mbps download/upload maximum communication with my modem) and I can make use of the 50mbps VDSL via wifi.
    I won't comment on the range because my modem is simply 2 meters away without any obstacles. However, I wouldn't expect miracles from the small dlink USB. I imagine those who get it don't expect it to improve their range.
    Note: in Windows 10, specifically in the control panel--->network and internet--->network connections, I still saw, in addition to the dlink and my laptop's wifi connection. I disabled it as a precaution.

    I bought this product because I saw very positive reviews.. I have 50mbps at home.. through the adapter I get 39mbps but in games my ping goes up a lot even though I have full signal..
    The distance from the modem is very short but I can't use a cable... I don't know what causes all this lag.. I go up to 600 to 900 Ms..
    Unacceptable..

    Perfect. It is worth much more than its price. I have been using it for about a month. I downloaded the latest drivers. On a 200 Mbps line, it gives me up to 60 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 200 Mbps on 5 GHz (measured with Okla's Speedtest), with the computer at a distance of 5m from the router. At a distance of about 12m and with the interference of two walls, on my mobile, still using Speedtest, it shows me 200 Mbps. So far, no interruptions.

    I bought it for an old Dell 630 Laptop that I have at home. Recently, I upgraded my internet connection to a 50 Mbps plan and, after measuring, I found out that the WiFi connection of various devices and computers had extremely low speeds, reaching only 16-17 Mbps, compared to the 47-49 Mbps I was getting with an Ethernet cable. When I switched the router to 5GHz, the difference was huge, resulting in almost the same speeds as wired, around 46-48 Mbps. However, the Dell didn't have a built-in antenna to "see" the 5GHz frequency, so I bought this USB "antenna" and I don't regret it. The laptop transformed into a turbocharged machine. The speeds it achieves are like being connected to LAN, without interruptions, fluctuations, and without any connection issues. An excellent product at an amazing price.
