5 out of 5 eggsFast as Wired

Pros: there are variables with getting speeds comparable to wired eternet...speed capability of router...I installed the driver on the CD...I have Verizon...they have a speed enhancement tool...I had Verizon change my routers channel from 6 to 11...Then had them switch back to 6...that move gave me 60/70...same as my wired...purchased from Flytec...They shipped fast and replied promptly to my status inquiry via e-mail...I chose ground service...they use fedex...got it in 1 day---Miami to tampa-:)..cant ship faster than that...)

Cons: none

5 out of 5 eggsSo its almost perfect, but you give it 3 eggs, and blame the MB, hmmmm

Pros: This unit has been working perfect for over 6 months. No drops, superb performance. Excellent in every way.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: so the reviewer below gives it 3 eggs, calls it "almost perfect" , and then blames their mobo ? Pure brilliance. This is the reason a grain of salt is needed for online reviews.

3 out of 5 eggsAlmost Perfecft

Pros: Solid reliable connections so far. Provides claimed throughput.

Cons: Hung up computer when disabled Ethernet adapter. Hung up during reboot. Other wise a good adapter.

Other Thoughts: My motherboard must be experiencing some kind of incompatibility with 802.11ac adapters because this has been a problem with all 4 that I have tried only they either had fluctuating throughput or chronically dropped connections. This one at least stays online once connected. That's enough for me to keep it. Anyway the technology is so new that maybe this issue will be corrected with driver updates.

5 out of 5 eggsBest wifi adapter I have ever owned

Pros: I have had this online for a month now, 24/7. Not one single drop, pause, delay, or interference. My download speeds exploded. This unit is the best I have ever seen, and Ive owned many dozens of all interfaces. Comes with a USB 3.0 cable so it does not interfere with the port next to it. It works great with the AMD USB 3.0 ports on my Asrock mobo.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Absolutely works on windows 7 and 8 x64.

make sure your usb 3 drivers for your mobo or pcie card are up to date.

the drivers I am using for this I found at Edimax for the RTL8812AU chipset work perfect and stable. This unit is outstanding. 2 year warranty also.

1 out of 5 eggsJeez

Pros: NONE

Cons: Apparently this wont work for windows 7 pro 64 bit version. I have installed the drivers from the cd, nothing works, then I installed the drivers that I downloaded, nothing works. I will be returning it for a refund.

5 out of 5 eggsdownload speed, range doubled

Pros: download speed doubled, signal strength maxed, range increased 30%, browsing instantly much faster, could not be happier. no drops in the first three days.

only usb 3.0 , AC adapter with a two year warranty.

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: been using three days, not a single drop. what a huge increase in performance and range over my USB 2.0 Rosewill N600UBE, using the exact same router. This unit has the realtek RTL8812AU chipset. I got the latest realtek drivers for win 8 x64 from EdiMax, "EW-7822UAC_1.0.1.4." Man, what an immediate impact !!!!!!
