  • Outstanding, except for the blue light (placed black tape over it)
Greatly increased speed and quality of connection. Comes with a USB to install drivers, size and design are non-intrusive and attractive, functionality includes ability to connect directly to USB, or through a cable so you can rest it on the desk. Taped over the bright blue "on" light because it's in my bedroom (not terrible, just don't want to see it). One story house, I'm not very far from the router, but I suppose there are too many walls/doors/whatever in the way so the connection was very spotty in the same location with multiple computers. Setup was easy, and haven't had any trouble since. Rarely leave 5 star reviews, but this really has worked very well for me. ... show more

  • Pleasantly surprised
When I first considered the NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6E USB 3.0 Adapter, I was skeptical. I’d been burned before by “game-changing” WiFi adapters that barely moved the needle on connection speeds. But, to my surprise, the Nighthawk WiFi 6E adapter genuinely delivered on its promises. Setting it up was straightforward, and it immediately upgraded my WiFi experience—my laptop is now surfing the web, streaming, and downloading with a noticeable boost in speed and stability. The improved range was an unexpected bonus, easily covering areas where my old adapter struggled. While I hesitated at the price point, I can now say it feels justified by the enhanced performance and reliability. Overall, the NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6E adapter surpassed my expectations, making it a worthwhile investment if you’re looking to push your device’s WiFi capabilities to the next level. ... show more

  • Great WiFi adaptor BUT, be sure to use the Netgear driver!
I’m using these with the router I got from AT&T which is a good router. I’ve got .95 gb coming from the pipe and I’m getting blazing speeds at the computer using these adaptors: between .4 and .9 gb depending on distance to the router. I'm talking all over a relatively large house, through walls and between floors, no less than .4 gb. I have several of these and initially had all kinds of trouble with them. The problem was that Windows 10 and 11 would recognize them as “plug and play” install them, and they would work … but I got all kinds of dropouts and huge variations in speed from minute to minute. Drove me crazy. Solution was pretty simple – use the Netgear driver, included with the product or download it from Netgear. Totally fixed everything. Since then, rock solid and blistering speed. I also tried several cheaper competing products (I mean, how complicated can this device be and why not get a $19 version instead of a $79 version) and believe me the Netgear product is more than worth the price differential for speed and stability. Very pleased. ... show more

  • Great upgrade
Quick and easy installation. It works great!

  • Works fairly reliably in radio congested areas.
Fast and stable most of the time. Though there are times when it drops 6g and goes to 5g or 2.4g. Even have had it drop out completely. Most times it recovers quickly though. Wifi items do have to accept interference and we are in a radio signal heavy area. So its been good enough to let me game and play VR totally wireless most of the time. So still worth it. ... show more

  • Better WiFi than my laptop
I like the stand so you can position the WiFi for better line of sight, if needed. Also like the fact that it is USB-B socket so you can plug anything USB-A in there like a flashdrive. Speed on the WiFi is fantastic and I like how Windows 11 creates another instance of WiFi and all of the settings which makes it very easy to configure. It has faster through-put than the WiFi on my laptop. Very nice. ... show more

  • Rock solid stability and speed.
It is small and powerful. I replaced the other antenna on my main computer and it works wonderfully. This unit is worth the money for the speed and reliability it offers.

  • Complete insanity and an Update
The product was great And worked as advertised. Unfortunately you cannot register it with Netgear as the Company website cannot recognize the serial number printed on the box. It maintains that the products country of is incorrect. Because the serial number is not valid you cannot file an action with Customer Service since the serial number is not recognized by Netgear. I doubt that Amazon is selling fakes but it appears that I am cut off from software updates, firmware updates and any advice from Netgear because they cannot recognize the serial number printed on the box housing the product. This has been an amazingly painful customer experience. After calling Netgear and complaining about my experience I found and CSR who was willing to help solve my problem. The same Serial Number that was rejected when I used it worked for her and the product is now registered. However, the experience with the actual install worsened. Although the installation software indicates that it will disable other Wi-Fi adapters, it did not do so, as there was a low speed Intel modem integrated in the PC motherboard that I had to disable. After doing that I found that the AXE3000 was not working correctly and that there had been an update to the installation software, although I had used the fob included with the product for the install (and it was this that was out-of-date). So I installed the new software and somewhere in the process other software on the computer was damaged. I was moving a computer for my spouse's use to a room she had chosen that did not have a LAN connection so I thought the AXE3000 would be a good choice. It was for most things as its speed is quite high. However, somewhere in the process the installation damaged data for Battlenet and Worlds of Warcraft and the game (played by my spouse for two decades) is now unplayble and I am unable to find a fix. Thanks Netgear. ... show more
