![]() Overall Review: Oddly enough, it worked out of the box when I connected it to my Ubuntu box. The entries within your registry that deal with automatically joining wireless networks will get corrupted and you won't be able to get reliably connected to any wireless network until you rollback the changes (at least that's what has happened to others and I've confirmed in a controlled test). It just doesn't work on the most common operating system on the planet for desktops.ĭon't try to install the Windows 10 Beta Driver. It really is a shame as it does work well. The price it outrageous especially when you consider that this product doesn't even work and NetGear has all but given up on providing drivers or support for it. I've heard that some generic Intel drivers work with this card, however I haven't been able to quite swing it on a Windows machine (be it 10, 8 or 7) I also attempted to use the standalone driver to install this on a Windows 7 laptop I had lying around but gave up after about thirty minutes of installing the device and it just simply not working. I recommend just going with the standalone driver if you're unfortunate enough to have one of these adapters. The Wireless Utility that comes rolled with the driver is unreliable and essentially garbage overall to use and navigate. Looks alright and the hinged USB port is very appreciated for the size.Ĭons: There isn't driver support for Windows 10 and the Windows 8 driver barely works. When it does work, it performs decently and provides around 200mbps transfer speeds across my local network and almost the same when testing through speedtest on my gigabit internet line. It actually worked in Ubuntu decently well for whatever reason. Pros: It looks neat? The good news is that Newegg shows you where to get the newer, better version of this product. However the new $25 price is about what it should be. The original price-point is WAY too much. So I will probably really kick it up now. (Add Beamforming)" which I just found because I a putting the adapter into another machine. "Improved wireless coverage and throughput in XP/Vista/Win7/Win8. I noticed there is new software drivers out for it. I noticed there is a newer version out now, and has probably outdone this version. I waited so long to review because I REALLY like to hammer on my review products before I just throw up some half baked review that isn't quite true later on if it fails or whatever. ![]() Tried and tested true for nearly 2 months and I can honestly say this is well made and very reliable. Would be great if it had the current 90 degree bed PLUS a swivel to make it easier to use on the back of computers. I think it would be cool (but useless) if the black part slid out from the grey part. But never had any packet loss whatsoever. However after 25 feet wireless bars drop off quickly. Works better than my TP-LINK TL-WDN3800 Dual Band Wireless N600 PCI-e card within 20 feet of the router. Just install the stand-alone driver and use windows wireless manager and you'll be fine. The included software is nothing more than a waste of time (installation) and hard drive space. It works well on my Cooler Master N400 series when plugged into the front however. And when plugging into the front of the computer my plugs are on top in the front and eats up the space of 2 USB ports, both of which are my 3.0 USB ports. Needs a hard adapter to space away from motherboard when plugged into the back of computer because the shape is impossible to use when many things are plugged into the computer like mine is (INWIN Dragon Rider full tower). No packet loss or disconnecting or restarting/unplugging EVER. In a USB 3.0 port it downloads at 3 Mega Bytes per second all day long (30Mb/s). Worked straight away out of the box with basic stand-alone drivers. ![]() Works with 802.11 a/b/g/n and ac WiFi routersīeamforming+ technology boosts speed,range and reliabilityĭesktop dock provides option for better desktop placementĪ6200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter - 11ac Dual Band (A6200)Īdditional Information Date First Available Ultimate range and performance with 802.11acĪdjustable antenna for improved performance Microsoft Windows 7, XP, Vista: (32 / 64-bit) A6200-100NAS Model BrandĪvailable USB 1.1, USB 2.0, or USB 3.0 port
