Heinous. Do not buy. 12/29/2014

This review is from: Linksys WUSB6300 Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Adapter IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n USB 3.0 Up to 1.2Gbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros:

It connects to wireless networks.

Cons:

I have never had a worse adapter. It drops connections like an insecure guy at a singles bar. Most of the time I get thirty minutes at best from the adapter, sometimes as little as two or three. It seems to drop the connection entirely of its own accord- unplugging it and plugging it back in seems to fix the problem, but this is hogwash I shouldn't have to deal with when selecting an adapter. There's nothing like that delightful feeling when an online game hangs and drops its connection for absolutely no other reason than the adapter decided to have a conniption at that moment. While I rather like Linksys as a brand and have had few complaints about their previous products, this offering seems to indicate a decided drop in quality and suggests that another company may be a better option for my internet needs.

Overall Review:

I would not accept this adapter if it was free. Do not buy.

Manufacturer Response:

Hi,

We value your time in sharing us your Linksys experience and we'd like to offer our assistance. To improve the wireless adapter's connection, make sure that the driver software is up to date. It is also recommended to place it at the location where it can get at least three wireless signal bars. Adjusting the router's wireless channels will help in getting a better reception.

We are here for you. You may send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review. We totally understand how you feel. Hope that you would give us the chance to assist.

Regards,

Linksys Support
