PiAEK WiFi Dongle USB Wireless Adapter 1200Mbps USB Wifi Adapter with 5G/2.4G 5dBi Dual Antenna Network Receiver For Windows 7/8/10/XP/VISTA/Linux

Easy to use just plug and go I'm on the opposite side of my home with 3 walls and I'm getting 80% connection perfectly fast I previously had a small wifi dongle with no antennas and barely got 10% signal this works wonders definitely reccomend

Bought this to replace a much slower wifi adapter that kept dropping it's connection and needed reconnecting at least a couple of days.The old adapter also had an average max of 3mbs download speed Not great when my router is 150mbs on average.This on was well packaged and a straight plug and play onto Win 10. I was overjoyed also, to see average download speeds of around 70mbs. A great improvement over the old one.Over the first 24 hours it was 100% stable with no dropped connections at all. It seemed like a proper worthwhile investment.Then it stopped working. No reason, no warning and hasn't worked since...The only positive is that I hadn't thrown my old one away, so it's back to a slow, intermittent connection for now.** Update **Since my initial update, I eventually moved to using a direct Ethernet cable to my router to reduce wifi dropouts. A cable connection is always going to provide a more stable connection, however, I appreciate this is not always possible.Cutting a long story short, I had some spare time to try and find out why it failed after such a promising start. After some research, it turned out to be an issue with a Windows 10 update and NOT the adapter itself, which when working, is fast and reliable albeit a bit on the large size.I found it worked perfectly on an old Windows 7 laptop.I now use it for the laptop solely and purchased a USB cable extension, so it is now perched out of the way on a shelf, working without issues.As a result, I have amended my review to 4 stars, based on the following...1- Windows 10 compatibility was an issue. I haven't yet tested it against the latest Win 10 updates.2- It's not the smallest wifi adapter on the market but the useful stand allows it to be placed somewhere other than directly in front of you.3- It provides a great, stable connection.

For some reason it defaulted to 5Ghz only. Foxed me for ages why I could see some things but not others! It may have been me fiddling though when setting it up as a hotspot rather than client. There are so many options in life these days ;-)NEW: the aerial connectors only physical attachment to circuit board is three 1mm square solder points. These broke on one side as I twiddled aearial around sometime. Had to resolder. Whereupon I hot glued a blob over whole join - which is how they should have been made in first place! I suspect all/many wifi USB dongles are like this. We shall see how many bps I get when we get new 910 Mbps fibred wifi router and I get a USB 3 card! Playtime looms! ;-)

Quality Product...i have only tested it on 5g...My Virgin broadband is 200 to 220mb speed...I was getting speeds between 150mb 190mb...grandson says it load pages faster than before...

Even though I appeared to have a strong wi-fi signal, tis item would NOT connect to my wi-fi. After having another driver sent to me by the sellers, which turned out to be even worse than the first supplied driver (on disc) I had to resort to sending it back for a refund which was promptly settled.

Did improve WiFi signal, however software wasn't straightforward and doesn't automatically connect when turning the computer on

The instructions were worse than useless - unreadable. Difficult to install and it doesn’t actually work.No information on who to contact in the case where it doesn’t work.

I tried the full set up over the weekend but every time I tried it just wouldn't provide wifi and there was no one to contact - only an email address ( they did respond on Monday). Eventually I chose the driver only option and this touch wood seems to work but I don't notice a vast improvement.
