This was painless to install and has been easy to use. The only thing was I saw it for a good deal less expensive on the internet. My fault for not doing my homework before purchasing - because Microcenter has a pretty painless price-matching policy.

Bought this adapter to replace an almost new, failing adapter -- a generic, postage stamp sized adapters which ran hot and died after 4 months. This D-Link adapter (DWA-182, ver C) is the size of a pack of gum. It has ventilation along both sides and is only slightly warmer than room temperature.

Very good signal strength! Easily beats my smartphone's signal strength. This may be important to you, as 5GHz is not great at going through walls, but I have this set up on my computer desk and beaming through two inside walls to get to my 5GHz router about 30 feet away on the opposite side of my...

If you have option between Netgear and D Link, Please chose Netgear This is ok but Netgear is Excellent

Don't buy this adapter. I've had nothing but problems trying to get consistent, failure free usage. Find another brand, but stay away from this.

Tried to resolve disconnection problems by installing latest drivers from D-Link, and then I tried drivers from a different company that was using the same Realtek chipset. Also tried swapping USB ports (including between USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports). Running on Windows 7 64-bit.

Supports the newer AC wireless protocol Current hardware revision (C1) supports USB 3.0 for greater-than 35MB/s throughput USB stand and cable included; Be sure to extend the cable for better reception

Loses its reliability after a few months; Adapter will disconnect at random

I would recommend this product to anyone. Once one gets it going one will see the difference in speed. The web pages will load a lot quicker. The down side to using this adapter is if one is upgrading to Windows10 this adapter is not compatible. D-link has not put out any Windows 10 drivers yet.

it improves the speed of web pages

does not work with usb 3.0

this was the cheapest USB 3.0 wifi stick that allowed 802.11ac streaming that I could find, and I am so far very happy with the purchase.

- Excellent value for the price; - Excellent range; no connectivity issues (even on cloudy days; but a lot of this may have to do with my ASUS router.; - Excellent speed; allows me to run Steam streaming from my desktop to my laptop over a 5GHz connection without any lag; - Easy to install (I mean,...

- "Cradle" extension cable is almost essential since the stick itself is somewhat bulky; - Cradle mount doesn't have a great base and can easily be knocked over (this won't affect the performance AFAIK; but it drives my OCD crazy.

What rubbish worked for about a week . Now just drops out every ten seconds to 2mins. Keep your purchase docket your going to need it

I have had nothing but problems with DLink products. I installed and re-installed this half a dozen times and it never once picked up any network even when I was right beside the network. Then when I tried to contact support they put me on hold for like half an hour!!!
