Review: Inexpensive and works on both Mac and PC - I moved to an older historic building (circa 1853) with very thick brick/masonry/lath and plaster interior walls. The building has a "whole building" WiFi setup with routers on the first and 4th floors. My condo is on the second floor, immediately up the stairs from the first floor router and with pretty good line of sight placement for the WiFi signals. In fact in the front portion of my unit the signal is great. Unfortunately, I work from home and my office is in the rear of my unit - farthest from the router. As a result, I was getting very weak signals on both my Mac desktop and my work Windows laptop. I had an extender/adapter put in my front living room to boost the signal, but it didn't completely solve the problem. So after doing some research I tried one of these for my Mac (it plugs directly into the computer), did the setup (pretty straightforward) and was very pleased with the results. My reception and signal strength is now "very good" - not excellent, but certainly good enough to make it painless to use my Mac. It worked so well that I bought one for my work (Windows) computer as well. However, the installation software comes on a CD and my Windows laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player!! So, after some head scratching, I put the CD in my Mac, copied the installation software to a USB drive, and put the USB drive into my laptop, and voila! it worked. Overall very satisfied, and the price was great and they even look nice.
Review: Great product but Win 8.1 needs a driver download/reinstall - You need to follow Stephen Sherwood's advice on the Win 8.1 install. It crashed my Win 8.1 after installing from the default CD, but after the original CD install, download the 8.1 drivers from netis.com; unzip to a folder and run setup.exe; restart then plug in and all is well. The realtek utility installed is great as you can see all the signal strength % of wifis around, adjust your aerial direction and refresh to see it go up/down. Great value product, just beware on Win 8.1. The USB caddy worked fine for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive and works on both Mac and PC
*by C***E on June 19, 2015*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Negative reviews are nuts... Or had pre-existing / special-case issues. A+++ for this adapter.
*by D***D on February 23, 2015*

Pros: Everything. Cons: Too many pros. _________________________ No idea what the negative reviews of this product are all about, unless people ordered from shady companies, got a defective unit, or had their own personal ignorance/technical issues that caused them problems with their system and the adapter. Installed driver, plugged it in, working beautifully. The wireless router is about 75' away from me through several floors and walls, I have 100% connection and 100% quality. It's boosted the speed and connectivity to my router, and I went from being about to see 3-6 wireless networks in my area to being able to see, on average, 25 different networks. Many of these are at full and or half speed. There are only about 15 houses within 500-750' of our house, so needless to say, this adapter is picking up some serious distance. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I know what I'm doing so my system isn't riddled with issues prior to installing this adapter unlike the majority of computer owners these days. The long usb cable and weighted (Yes, it's weighted so it won't tip over) dock is a major plus. The unit is about 5' away from my computer at the moment on a high shelf in the room. 100% satisfaction and would recommend to anyone needing that little oomph, or a lot of oomph, to their wifi.
