Affordable and easy to set up

Perfect option for our desktop PC that doesn't have it's own built in wireless card. Easy to set up, but does come with a CD-ROM so your device will need to have that available to get the necessary drivers. Been using for about 3 weeks or so now and have had no issues.

If you have a few PCs, then this is a must. It's cheaper and easier to set up than the PCI-E version.

Win10: just plug it in and you're good to go!

During the last lockdown, I brought my office PC home. Unfortunately, the PC does not have an onboard WIFI card installed in it (only a LAN card and my home does not have a LAN connection). Additionally, the PC can only be logged on if it connected to the internet. I then bought this WIFI adapter. I was really worried if this adapter needs a driver pre-installed before it can be used to connect to the net: I was wrong. When I turned on my office PC at home, I then plug this adapter into the PC. The adapter was installing its driver itself behind the logon screen and directly connect to my WIFI at home! Afterwards, I finally can log into my...view more
