The product is a mixed bag for me. The first thing that I noticed is that it is very bulky and sticks out from my computer. This would be fine if I had a place behind the computer to install it and keep it there, but I don't and therefore was worried that I would accidentally bump into it and break it. After plugging the product into the USB slot, the the drivers need to be downloaded and inputted, so this is not a plug and play product. That being said, it was a simple enough task to get it running and there's even a video tutorial you can use if you scan the card that comes in the box. What I saw next is that my computer, already having a built in Wi-Fi receiver now had two options of Wi-Fi (the built in receiver) and Wi-Fi 2 (this product) which I needed to manually switch. When the switch was made, the primary advantage of this product was made clear, the built in receiver was able to detect 9 networks, while this product was able to detect 12. Ironically, the signal from my own Wi-Fi network was one bar weaker on this device than it was my built-in receiver. Overall, I can say that this device is compatible with a 6G network and has a wider range than my built in receiver but a weaker input. I'd say that you'd want this device for a portable computer like a laptop or notebook. It is compact and can be carried around in your pocket for transport. It also proved to be able to connect to a variety of networks so you should have no problem with connections in different locations. However, for a desktop, it has less of a usage unless you've got an older model or have it installed farther away from the router, in which case you should probably get an extender for your network. It's a good product at a reasonable price, with a solid performance, but like most portable receivers it is a niche decive.
