Wifi Dongle, AC600 802.11ac Dual Band 5GHz Mini Wireless Network USB Wifi Adapter for PC Desktop Laptop, Support Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista/XP, Mac Os X 10.9-10.15

This dual band wifi dongle supplied by Foktech was very easy to set up using the cd that came with it. Also the same setup can be found online if needed. Of course it being comparatively inexpensive didn't harm its appeal. Once set up this new wifi link selected the 5mhz band on channel 36 which had the strongest signals and link qualities. Right from the start the speed of my wifi on that machine increased threefold, it is claiming on the visual display that it is working at 433mbps not that my supplied broadband is that fast. Even when I have the laptop upstairs with lots of interference in between it and the router the signal strength is still very impressive and the speed is just as good. The LAN utility box which is usually minimised gives clear and up to date information on other nearby networks their signal strength and what channels they are using amongst other information such as current signal strength, link strength etc. There is also a tab for use when using wifi protected setup (wps) to connect. All in all a great wifi network in a compact USB dongle that works very well and a lifesaver for machines that do not handle the speeds associated with Fibre networks. I currently average higher speeds than those promised by my supplier even at peak times.

Simple plug in dongle! I damaged my previous dongle when i caught my leg on it and snapped it away from my PC, so with no internet for my computer beckoning I went with this dongle from amazon. The packaging is nice, all secure and included: WIFI dongle, Instruction manual, Mini CD with drivers and manual on it. First of all you don't need the CD to install the dongle. As soon as I plugged this into my Windows 10 PC it automatically downloaded the additional drivers and it was all set up within 30 seconds. My PC is placed in our dining room around 20ft away from our SKY router which is in our living room and even with the brick wall in between there was no issues at all. Full speed of around 70-80mbps which is what SKY provides us. Have been using this dongle for 3 months and so far no issues. Even tried it out on our cheap and cheerful Toshiba Smart TV which is upstairs so we could access BBC iplayer etc and once more that had no trouble in picking up a signal. Overall Im very pleased with this purchase. Simple to use and it does the job. Plus it was a lifesaver when I broke my previous dongle!

Works very well, easy setup, worth the money.

This is a major step up from my old wi fi dongle which was only on the G network while this is currently on N network. The installation was an easy setup, however I felt it’s not always the way to put the software on as all is needed is the drivers. If you put the dongle into the USB port for the first time it says can’t find drivers. You’ll find going to my computer and going to devices it’s in there as a question mark (Network Devices Realtek Wireless). Right clicking it and going to update drivers and going to the browse section and looking into the CD provided folder you’ll find the drivers in there under Windows 10 and Windows for all 32 bit (X86) and 64 bit (X64) platforms. Once you click on the folder and click ok and next. It will install the driver and you can use Microsoft’s default monitor in the bottom right task bar. The drivers them self use Realtek which is great as there easy to find on there website or using Driver Booster will update the driver automatically. The driver on the CD is 2014 and the latest is 2017. I would suggest though to create a folder and copy all the contents from the CD as if it’s lost you don’t just loose Windows drivers it also has MAC and Linux too. My old wi fi stick had a status up to 56mbps and this one shows between 90 - 200mbps. Whether or not this is true and estimated it sure seems a lot faster than before. Only strange part is the blue light on it always flashes even when not surfing the Internet and when you shut down the computer it stays on as solid blue? I suppose that’s how it was made for standby mode I guess. Also from my picture the base part does not come with it that’s just an old Belkin male to female adaptor so it doesn’t have to sit on the back or front of my desktop. Early days testing this out but all in all seems good value for money and easy enough to use. Also Amazon delivered a day early. Very impressed.

This miniature gadget is a marvel! I was getting extremely intermittent wi-fi connection with my 5-year-old adapter, with it often disconnecting altogether, driving me bonkers. This had occurred over a period of many months. Since installing this little Foktech baby, the wi-fi connection has been fine, touchwood. Download speeds have fluctuated, which I understand is common for wi-fi, but so far, after several days, not a single disconnection, and therefore what I would describe as "stable". I like the "Realtek" utility that comes on a CD with the adapter, as it shows both the wi-fi signal strength and quality, in my case, 100% on both counts - so the adapter, as tiny as it is, sends out a strong radio signal to a room upstairs, where the router is situated. It has a neat little blue light - very bright - that shows activity (like a hard drive "busy" light on a computer). I've seen what seems to be a complaint from one reviewer of this product, asking why device lights seem to be blue nowadays. Perhaps "sky-blue-pink" would suit that reviewer. Personally, it matters not what the colour is. I'm grateful it has a helpful light at all! As regards installation, I found the adapter wouldn't work "out of the box", as I believe has happened for some people (I'm using Windows 10 on a desktop computer, by the way). The adapter wasn't recognised until after installation of the Realtek software from the CD, which was a piece of cake. Once the software is installed, ask the adapter to "connect", input the router code, as required, and Bob's your uncle, enjoy connection! Wonderful! A pleasure to use.

Fonctionne parfaitement sur mon PC, qui est deux étages au-dessus du routeur

Just installed this on my Fujitsu Lifebook which is pretty old so the internal WiFi adapter went bad. Once the drivers were installed I still couldn't connect to WiFi. The trick was to go into the WiFi network folder and disable the internal WiFi card that was bad. The laptop has to see only 1 network adapter otherwise it gets confused or something else. I did read in the product description that they recommend you disable any WiFi adapters in the computer which is ultimately what worked for me. But so far so good. I can watch YouTube or do any other surfing I need. I am not a gamer so I can't testify to how it handles any of that.

Hasta ahora funciona bien. Solo tuve que reiniciar mi PC una vez.

Piccola ma molto potente, non perde mai il segnale, facile da istallare la consiglio per chi deve usare un desktop o notebook

Wir haben den Stick für einen alten XP Rechner gekauft und dort problemlos installieren können. Verbindung steht einwandfrei - ich empfehle den Stick gerne weiter!
