Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My laptop's wireless card is a piece of -- well, you can guess. I looked at some super expensive wifi adapters and then at this one, and thought, well, for $10, how can I NOT try this first? And: OMG. I love it. Previously, I could not be further than about 15' from our home's router. My study, about 20' away: frequently zero reception. Even when connected, the connection would time out sporadically and interrupt my work or uploads (I do a lot of high res photo stuff so this was more than annoying). NOW: Full bar connections anywhere in my 1200 sq ft apartment. Consistent connection. WAY faster download/upload speeds. FYI, laptop is a 2014 Sony Vaio running Windows 8.1. Plus, this is such a wee little thing, I don't even notice it plugged in. Could not be happier. I'm sure this is made in horrible Chinese factories and should feel really guilty about the artificially low cost...but. I'm a terrible person and am really just happy I have it.
