BrosTrend 1200Mbps Long Range USB WiFi Adapter for PC Desktop Laptop of Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Wireless Adapter Dual Band 2.4GHz 300Mbps + 5GHz 867Mbps, 2X 5dBi High Gain Antennas, USB 3.0 Cradle

I discovered I needed this item after I moved to a house that provided wi-fi. My $200+ LinkSys router would not connect to an existing wi-fi signal. So I had to purchase this item. It will connect to a wi-fi signal. You plug it into a USB port on your computer and it feeds your PC wi-fi internet. From there I plugged my router into my PC and my 2 printers and 1 NAS drive into the router and I was good to go.It requires a driver. Don't remember how it got in, but it shows in the taskbar. Works great.

Recently changed WFI Router to a NetGear Nigh Hawk 10gb. Crazy cool Software it uses lets you chose between 2.5 and 5G Htz. However, on the Wireless signal at 5 g its signal strength weakens as to be expected for wireless. I invested in this gadget to see what it could do on the 5G frequency.After installing the driver and rebooting the system make sure you go into the RealTech software and chose your Network. I ran the speed test before and after the Install.Before Speed Test results were as follows.Before: Download was 110 mb Upload was around 12mg.After : 426 Download and 25 mg uploadIntegrity and stability of the wireless signal went to 100%These results are impressive needless to say., However for you Tech savy guys and girls get a load of this further finding. I for grins and giggles unplugged the wireless adapter and restarted the Laptop, ran the test again without the device, IT KEPT THE Download and Upload speeds, never lost transfer speeds.What does this mean? Well, I would have to speculate that the Driver I installed for the new device also fixed the REALTECK onboard the Motherboard, The Driver seems to have improved the Onboard Wireless card seeing how it also is a Realtek device, that's the only logical reason this would happen this way, HOWEVER, il keep using the Device because it improves both Signal strength and integrity of the signal at 100% WOW I went back to school today! :)Worth every dime I never needed to call tech support so I cant rate that, everything else is 5 stars.

The initial install was straight forward and worked. Great improvement in connection speed. Stable connection until it wasn't. The device started dropping the connection. A simple reconnect was all that was needed to correct. The problem become more frequent. I contacted Tech support who responded quickly and said to install an updated driver which they provided. I did and it stopped working completely. I had to roll back the driver to reconnect to the network. I left it alone until a Win10 update came along and once again killed the device. When it works, it does well. Some sort of issue with Win10 is lurking out there. Would I recommended it. Yes with the possibility your results may be better than mine. Or worse. It is certainly at the right price point. One mark down I do give it is that its not stable on its stand. Easy to knock over. I currently have a small flashlight weighing it down that works just fine. And I know where the flashlight is when I needed it! The blue led light is very bright and constantly busy. Just turn the unit around if it bothers you.

Worked so good I bought 2!For my edit work AND for gaming!!!! I really need fast, fast, fast internet, my internet has been slow, until now! These USB Wifi Adapters from BrosTrend are EXCELLENT and worked flawlessly with a simple install (used the include software installer for both MacOS and Window 10 Bootcamp).I have 2 "old" Mid-2010 MacPro's (they both are dual-boot, MacOS and Windows 10 BootCamp) and my house is spread out and the walls are very shielded, I get weak WiFi around the house. In my studio (Video Editing and Gaming), that MacPro gets very weak WiFi and around 25Mbs WiFi, the other MacPro is near the WiFI router and gets a strong signal, but even with that it's old WiFi card only gets around 45Mbs WiFi. My WiFi internet is 200Mbs/20Mbs (next week it will be 500Mbs/500Mbs with option for up to 5Gbs/5Gbs).With these WiFi Adapters I'm getting up to 585Mbs for BOTH MacPro's!!!! Right now I have Spectrum Cable WiFi at 200Mbs down and 20Mbs up AND BOTH MACPROS see that full speed! In the next few days I'm replacing that slow, unstable Spectrum WiFi, with Frontier Fibre Internet at 500Mbs/500Mbs (up to 5Gbs, I would just get a new Mac with 10Gig Ethernet to use the 5Gbs).The advertised speed is 867Mbps for this WiFi adapter, but I'm not getting that. I'm getting 585Mbs. Not sure why? ALSO, I get that same 585Mbs if I'm connected to my MacPro's USB2, or USB3 ports (I have USB3 cards in my MacPro's).I am using this WiFi adapter in MacOS and Windows 10 and see the exact same speeds. I have my MacPro's boot MacOS and Windows 10 with BootCamp.My Mid 2010 MacPro's are updated to include fast new GPU's, 64GB RAM, M.2 Drives and more. They are very fast! (Though I do plan soon to upgrade to a new Mac with latest tech, next few months).JOHNAVATAR.com
