I got this to replace a faulty wifi card in my laptop. Works like a charm. Best part is, I can use it with my desktop at home without using the ethernet cable. Although it is a little on the expensive side, it works like a charm and its great.

Stop looking. This is the one you want. Price is great. Works perfectly, discrete design. You won't find one better for what you pay.

To get this to work with a later Linux kernel, you have to find the git repo and download it. My original review was not accepted, possibly for giving the URL as external urls are apparently forbidden, so I'll just say look for the rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux git repo.

When used as my WIFI device, it allowed the FULL 100 mbps speed; while my built in WIFI receiver that came with my laptop purchased in 2009; would only capture a speed of 20 mbps. I am pleased with the "D-Link DWA-171 Wireless AC Dual Band USB Adapter"; that exhibits no loss in speed.

After some remote access help from a friend on my laptop, he suggested after upgrading to Windows 10 my internet adaptor was not recognised or working. He advised me to get a d-link. All working now.

Perfect if you want to switch to 5GHz band. On Windows 10 device is plug n play (found drivers automatically), However as the device is based on realtek 8821au chipset, driver installation on ubuntu 16.04 requires manual efforts of driver source compilation and installation.

The worst thing I have ever bought for my computer. Please do not but this. The 3/10 times it stays connected to the Internet it doesn't even work well

Working great so far even through a concrete block wall. Using with a dual-frequency router. Install routine needs some work, but got it working with the help of their tech support.

I bought it on sale, worth every penny!

Easy to install without any issues, it took maybe 15 minutes to install; I have Internet 150 at home, with 2.4G connection I would be lucky if I would get 30-35M on speed test; With this adapter on 5G connection I am consistently getting 150-155M

None so far

Works well on my desk top runing Win 10, would NOT install on my laptop.
