ANEWKODI

The Intel NUC is a great little computer with the exception of the internal antenna. It works alright for the low frequency wifi band but for the 5G the NUC is not a good receiver if your computer is in a different room than the wifi. There is a solution that involves drilling holes in the case and getting external connectors, but this device easily plugs into the USB3 in the back and works without downloads on Windows 10 (Pro). You end up with 2 wifis, and Windows 10 separates them into a wifi and wifi2. Actually, my NUC PC was able to detect the 5G with the original built in card (wifi) once this device was plugged in to the USB3, without switching to wifi2. That raises the question, could an antenna with no electronics at all could somehow work? Anyway, this works well so far, but time will tell.

I bought this adapter because i got tired of the horrible Wifi range on my MacBook Pro 2014.I have MacOSX 10.14 Beta on my Macbook ,so I installed the drivers ,but the 3rd party Wifi application doesn't work.Only way i got it to work is using the WPS through the router and just PBC.EDIT: Finally got it working on MacOS X 10.14 Mojave BETA ,but it takes a lot of messing with and you have to download different drivers and cross install.

This device worked fine, at first, in our laptop. but with the weight of the device pushing down on the USB port all the time, bad things started happening. First, the plastic shell covering the device split in half like it was barely glued together. I wrapped that very carefully and tightly with electrical tape to hold the shell together. After a couple of months, the weight of this device stretched the electrical tape (4 or 5 wraps around the shell) so the device sagged noticeably. It wasn't too long after that that the metal USB connector came completely out of the shell which made the device useless. the problem with this design is the weight of the device in a horizontally aligned USB port. I suspect that if it had been installed in a desktop or in an all-in-one computer with vertically aligned USB ports where the weight of the device wouldn't be constantly trying to split the shell/housing open 24/7, it would have been fine. but it was a big fail in the family room laptop with its horizontal USB ports.

I had a 600mp antenna that is a couple years old so decided to upgrade. I was very surprised when I ran ookla that it pegged the maximum speed that I have with my ISP. Full 150mps. The old one barely got 70. Everything streams perfect and the downloads speeds are awesome. It does seem overly large compared to the old one so I'll probably end up moving it to the back of my desktop. Bottom line is that it is super fast and the drivers were easy to do for Win 10, although my last one didn't require any drivers. Very fast!

No worries with the adapter getting damaged in shipment. the wireless USB adapter came packaged in a solid foam container. Adapter appears to be solidly built. The driver is included on a mini CD that comes in the box with the adapter. Since my Windows 10 wouldn't recognize the device, I had to load it from the mini CD. After loading the driver and restarting the laptop, the adapter worked great. The speed and distance of my home wi-fi has significantly increased. Remember to turn off your built in wi-fi on your laptop and make sure your Windows 10 is updated. High quality product.

Easy set up. I'm using it on my desktop that operates windows 10 and my computer is now fast and efficient. Before purchasing the Anewkodi 1200 USB WiFi adapter I had a N300 Adapter - that was torture for me, the computer was soooo slow, it was extremely frustrating. I have had this adapter now for a month and the difference in performance with the old one is night and day. This really works for me, I recommend it, and I think it's a great value for the money.

I use this to play games, works most of the time, just gets annoying when it drops connection to the internet after a couple of hours.

I'm using this on a Mac that didn't have 803.11ac capability. I downloaded the software that was require using Opera as my search engine, as I couldn't use the supplied CD with my computer. I plugged the antenna in a USB port and got a strong hi-speed signal reading 5x5 through 3 walls and a laundry room, 30 feet from my router.I highly recommend this product !!
