    260 customers mention165 positive95 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it works great, the build quality is great, and the price is right as well. Others say that the design is better, and it is not as easily broken as their d-link was. The size is small, and will break easily in a laptop if moved around. The speeds are great, but the issue is in the consistency, with many lag spikes.

    "...But it comes with an extension cable and docking station so I could set it up without it hiding behind my PC...." Read more

    254 customers mention174 positive80 negative

    Customers are mixed about the signal strength of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it worked flawlessly and the signal was very good, while others say that it lost signal every 30 minutes and that the 5 GHz signal was not as strong as the 2.4 GHz.

    "...After that, I could move it to where I wanted. It found my wifi network right away and said both the 2.5Mhz and 5Mhz access points were available...." Read more

    "...Still, no connection. The signal from the router was good however. Since all 3 devices were not working, I called Cisco support...." Read more

    "...The wireless signal was usually about three bars and sporadically dropped the signal which caused me to have to reset the network card, etc...." Read more

    "...Feels better than most flash drives.Much better signal...." Read more

    169 customers mention87 positive82 negative

    Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that it network well and the connection doesn't drop, while others say that it drops the connection. They also say that there have been no problems with it automatically connecting to the router when they boot up their laptop. However, some customers also say they have no luck getting it to connect, and that it would not connect to the internet.

    "...The whole thing took about 20-25 minutes. I have not had a single connection problem with any wireless device; the ae2500 has connected every time,..." Read more

    "...And upon installing the new one, it too did not have the right drivers. However, I was able to find a Windows 8 driver on the manufacturer's website...." Read more

    "...The problem is that it comes with older drivers (on the CD) and they do not work correctly with Windows 8.1 or 10...." Read more

    "...On Mac it wasn’t supported. On windows it showed administrator errors. Only improved Wi-Fi by 40-50mbs...." Read more

    ooh! there's a CD! No USB3, but, dude, free CD-ROM!
    3 Stars
    ooh! there's a CD! No USB3, but, dude, free CD-ROM!
    It works fine, very little drop-outs (pic 2). But no, it's not worth $45. Imagery deceptively looks like it's USB 3.x, but it's not (pic 1). Photos in the description are careful to avoid seeing far enough inside the plug to see if it has the five extra USB 3 pins. Oh and get this, it comes with a CD and it says on it's sleeve "run this CD before connecting." I swear I heard someone out the window yell "impeach Bush" when I read that. Well, whatever, why not. Popped it in, and ran the Setup.exe file and "An administrator has blocked you from running this app. For more information, contact the administrator." That's a new one. I figured maybe it's coz it's in the root of an optical disk and there's an "autorun.inf" that references it. NOPE! I copied all the contents to a folder on my storage and got the same thing (pic 3). Still not sure if it's my Anti-virus, my VPN, or just Windows 10 being all "dude, ... come on." So I plugged it into another USB port, and sure enough Windows found the driver, downloaded it, installed it, and it works just fine (which was what I was going to do in the first place). One small note, this thing generates a bit of heat. Not flash-drive-in-a-USB-3-slot heat, but much hotter than I expected.
