crashed PC twice, then did not work.
I'll caveat my review with this. My best friend recommended this specific product, as he has had it for several years and only has good things to say about it. He games with me and he has never had any lag or any issues with it. However, my experience was vastly different.I have windows 8. I first installed using the CD. Immediately my PC began lagging, then bluescreened. I restarted, which took significantly longer than normal to boot, and once i logged in, got nothing more than a blank screen. I force restarted, opened in safe mode, and reloaded from a system restore point. I then hunted through the questions for about 15 minutes before finding where to download the driver directly. It was a weird download and install, and honestly felt like spyware more than anything. It crashed my PC as well. I did a system restore then tried a final time. This seemed to work, though after restarting, my boot time was again considerably slower. I was able to connect to my wifi for a whopping 30 seconds before my PC stopped recognizing the device.I am not a computer illiterate boomer either. I built my PC several years ago and did computer repair work for a while. I decided it was a better choice to have a 100ft ethernet cable running down my stairs than using this device. I returned it.

Works good.
Received this item on one day shipping. Very easy to install and is very fast. I had used a WDNA4100 for many years and after I restarted my computer it quit working. I downloading the latest firmware and drivers and the setup loaded normally but it couldn't recognize the adapter. I swapped it out with my wife's adapter which I knew was good and it wouldn't recognize it either. I gave up and ordered this adapter and viola everything worked.

Super Simple Install. Excellent Performance
Installing this usb wifi adapter in windows 10 was a piece of cake.It took 30 seconds, total. The seller even provided extremely simple instructions, just in case you've never needed to load a driver for a new accessory.I now have a stable and fast connection on my entry level Dell.

Garbage.
At least other wifi adapters work like advertised before dying like the cheap trash they are. This may as well be an overpriced rock. After initially installing to a Windows 10 ASUS laptop ($1400+), it took this hunk of plastic about 5 minutes to download their 56mb driver zip file. Ha. After finally finishing and installing the worthless driver trash too, surprise, surprise, speeds were mediocre at absolute best.And yet, after I thought it couldn't get any better, the POS just started to randomly disconnect, and then whatever it wanted to if there was even a connection.Waste of time and energy.

Simple, effective and consistent signal quality
So far it's working very well. I got this to use on my work desktop computer as hardlining it will be a little more difficult and I don't want anyone tripping over the Ethernet cord. Signal seems strong stable and consistent. Up and down speeds are more than doubled too than the internal wifi adapter in my laptop I tested.

As fast as dial up
Bought this in January 2019 (based on all the positive reviews) for my kids' computer. It was easy to plug in and start using right away, but I noticed the connection was significantly slower than the one I have for my computer. Swapped them out to test it and it is indeed much slower. Opening a new tab takes about 30 seconds and opening 2-3 new tabs takes at least 2 minutes. I ended up closing the extra tabs and loaded each page at a time. Both computers are running Windows 10 and are within sight of the router.

Can't get it to work.
Running Windows 7 with 8gig memory. After installing the drivers that came on the CD I lost my WiFi connection. I was able to get the internet using a Cat5 Cable. But the software changed something to disable my WiFi. No matter what I try the WiFi will not work now. It says I need to reinstall the drivers. But, that doesn't help.

Great Wifi for my PC that did not have one
It took just two minutes to get this wifi up and running, to allow my PC that did not have it built in to come alive on my wifi network. I needed in order to print because my new Google Wifi which I love, would not bridge across the to allow my wired system to communicate with my wifi products. Solved it with this product perfectly!
