I have an old house(built 1973), no cable outlets, didn't feel like stringing cable throughout and using multiple splitters and signal filters, so this seemed a good option. Plugged it in, computer didn't recognize it, couldn't search for installation programming because it wasn't connected to the net. Ah, I see, have to use an installation cd and reboot before it'll work. A little old school, don't know why they couldn't include the install files on the stick itself(just like a standard memory stick), but for the price, I'm not going to cry about it. Receives fine anywhere in the house, haven't tried it outside or past 35 feet so don't know what the range limits are, but it does what I need it to, so it's all good to me. An old school desktop has been converted to wireless convenience, for less than ten dollars. Can't beat that!Read full review
I use these almost every day. I have at least 4 or more of these AE1200 Adapters. When it works - it works great. Note - I read all of the reviews prior to ordering two or three more of these for use in my computer repair shop. I already knew they have a tendency to run hot as I had previously read the reports. They DO tend to run hot. This causes some intermittent lagging. Eventually (soon after) it will partially disconnect from the wireless router. I will get a yellow caution triangle on my strength bars indicator. The only way to get this adapter working again is to physically unplug the Adapter - leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes to cool off - and then re-plug it back into the USB connection. It will work fine again for another 45 minutes to an hour. But it does needs to cool off. If you plug it back in immediately - it will usually not work or will only spit and sputter until locking back up again. If my internet is not connecting to a web page I immediately look for the symbol on my strength meter. If its there I unplug it - let it cool off - and plug it back in. No more problems until it runs hot again. I've gotten used to it.Read full review
