Pros: Extends the Range of WIFI Signal Reception Strength of WIFI Signal better than internal antenna gets Individual antennae unscrew as removable if u want to upgrade Support base with cord are detachable from antenna if not needed WIFI antenna can be directly USB inserted (standalone) w/out support base Product does include an actual software drivers physical CD, installs flawlessly Arrived in immaculate outstanding condition, Excellent packaging and contents. Cons: Although lightweight is usually viewed as a plus it makes this item feel fragile. Also the light weight of product allows falling over sideways any slight table bumps Has Realtek adapter card. Not bad & works "okay". Would have preferred RaLink or Atheros. Realtek is the same brand of many internal wifi antennas. This is not a bottom of the bargain bin priced unit. So, a first-tier wifi network adapter provider is expected. The shipping was just within the specified expected time frame to arrive (very last day) Would I recommend this SELLER :: Yes Would I recommend this PRODUCT :: Yes Overall purchase experience :: 4 out of 5 possible Stars I definitely recommend this if you're on a budget but not a shoestring cheapskate budget. You can't get this for the same price as a USB single antenna you get that doesn't come with any drivers (at all) or extention cable and support base, etc etc.. It's also not a minor point that, in case you care to look it up at places I can't mention explicitly by name here, you can find upgrade antennas identical to the ones that are a part of this item. This product has antenna (2) rated at 5 dbi each. You can accquire identical antenna rated at 6 or 8, 10, 12, or even 15 dbi EACH to upgrade with later. So, the 4 Star rating here is that you get a pretty decent starter item out of the box, AND, because of it's form factor it's an ideal choice to upgrade/scale growth as well. Except for a few minor inconsistencies (mentioned previously) still a good quality buy. Have a nice day.Read full review

I feel like I have a brand new computer now that the internet is moving so fast. I had been using the low budget wifi adapter that came with my computer, and it always had a weak signal causing slow internet. After I bought this one, I see about 10 neighborhood networks at 100% signal strength. And the speed is amazing.

The included USB 3.0 docking cable lacks the 5th pin that appears standard in my other 3.0 cables. The issue seems common if you search the model number for issues and I have yet to hear back from the manufacturer regarding the issue. Nevertheless, a single $5 6ft extension cable was all I needed for simple plug n play functionality on a Linux Kernel 5.3 with the mt76x2u driver. No issues further issues with my wireless network experiments. If you run into any issues at first, just check `journalctf --catalog ---pager-end --priority=4` or `journalctf -xep4` for shorthand and dmesg works as well. Any issues will immediately show up on your system's log, just grep for anything containing 'usb 3'

I was looking for a more reliable connection from my basement in one corner of the house to the router on the second floor at the other corner. The AWUS036AC lives up to its "long range" name, as I'm now getting a very good signal level and close to the maximum throughput my router allows. Much better than my old WiFi adapter, which only got a weak signal with spotty throughput in the exact same location. The price was right too.

I bought this because I moved into a camp trailer on my little sister's property and the wifi network adapter on my laptop was not powerful enough to get a good signal from her house (about 60 yards away). This product works great. Pretty simple and automatic to install. My laptop went from about 1 bar on the signal strength to a solid 5 bars 99% of the time.
