BrosTrend 1200Mbps Long Range USB WiFi Adapter for PC Desktop Laptop of Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Wirel

Worked so good I bought 2! For my edit work AND for gaming!!!! I really need fast, fast, fast internet, my internet has been slow, until now! These USB Wifi Adapters from BrosTrend are EXCELLENT and worked flawlessly with a simple install (used the include software installer for both MacOS and Window 10 Bootcamp). I have 2 "old" Mid-2010 MacPro's (they both are dual-boot, MacOS and Windows 10 BootCamp) and my house is spread out and the walls are very shielded, I get weak WiFi around the house. In my studio (Video Editing and Gaming), that MacPro gets very weak WiFi and around 25Mbs WiFi, the other MacPro is near the WiFI router and gets a strong signal, but even with that it's old WiFi card only gets around 45Mbs WiFi. My WiFi internet is 200Mbs/20Mbs (next week it will be 500Mbs/500Mbs with option for up to 5Gbs/5Gbs). With these WiFi Adapters I'm getting up to 585Mbs for BOTH MacPro's!!!! Right now I have Spectrum Cable WiFi at 200Mbs down and 20Mbs up AND BOTH MACPROS see that full speed! In the next few days I'm replacing that slow, unstable Spectrum WiFi, with Frontier Fibre Internet at 500Mbs/500Mbs (up to 5Gbs, I would just get a new Mac with 10Gig Ethernet to use the 5Gbs). The advertised speed is 867Mbps for this WiFi adapter, but I'm not getting that. I'm getting 585Mbs. Not sure why? ALSO, I get that same 585Mbs if I'm connected to my MacPro's USB2, or USB3 ports (I have USB3 cards in my MacPro's). I am using this WiFi adapter in MacOS and Windows 10 and see the exact same speeds. I have my MacPro's boot MacOS and Windows 10 with BootCamp. My Mid 2010 MacPro's are updated to include fast new GPU's, 64GB RAM, M.2 Drives and more. They are very fast! (Though I do plan soon to upgrade to a new Mac with latest tech, next few months).

I purchased this antenna and downloaded the software on my Windows 7 laptop. "AMAZING: is all I can say. Without exaggeration, it spead up my signal about 4x's. I love it, it consistent, I use 5.0 and 2.4. Avg download speads, 175 Mbps. I also hooked it up my my newest laptop with Windows 10. The software doesn't load up like it did on Win 7. It was a little aggravating, but my downloads speeds average about 170 Mbps. Sometimes it's less, but that the internet! I am not exaggerating, I can take the antenna off, and my speeds are in the 40 to 60 Mbps range. I just wish the software was the same for Windows 10 as it is for Windows 7. You have to know a little bit about setting up networks to make it work. You will have a WiFi 1 and a WiFi 2 after installing the software. This antenna will be on WiFi 2. UPDATE: You MUST have a good Router for this antenna. I call the support line, they helped me with the settings for my router. LynkSys changed a few settings on the Router. No calls or changes to the antenna. 60ft away and I am constantly getting around 175 Mbps. I have a two story home, I take the antenna off, and my speeds are 50 to 60 Mbps.consistently. Put the antenna back on (USB 3.0 port) and instantly I have my 160 to 170 Mbps back. I love this antenna, but you need a fairly new computer to get these speeds. NOTE: I only have 150 Mbps service at my home, that's all I pay for, but sometimes I will reach over 180 Mbps. My internet is lightening fast. I am very happy and will be buying a few more. My nephew has an MAC. With the stock antenna and NO adjustments, he gets 160Mpbs with no problem. The apple computer does this straight out of the box, FYI., Also his Apple phone gets around 150 Mbps with not problem. UPDATE #3: I am in the process of buying another one of these antennas. It's still working great, and my speeds have not changed. I have another laptop I am going to use the new one on. Works great on Windows 7 & 10. I am still very happy with the antenna. "Just" sometimes it gets in the way, but considering I am using it on laptops, that's to be expected. When I disconnect the antenna, I loose 70% of my speed!

The initial install was straight forward and worked. Great improvement in connection speed. Stable connection until it wasn't. The device started dropping the connection. A simple reconnect was all that was needed to correct. The problem become more frequent. I contacted Tech support who responded quickly and said to install an updated driver which they provided. I did and it stopped working completely. I had to roll back the driver to reconnect to the network. I left it alone until a Win10 update came along and once again killed the device. When it works, it does well. Some sort of issue with Win10 is lurking out there. Would I recommended it. Yes with the possibility your results may be better than mine. Or worse. It is certainly at the right price point. One mark down I do give it is that its not stable on its stand. Easy to knock over. I currently have a small flashlight weighing it down that works just fine. And I know where the flashlight is when I needed it! The blue led light is very bright and constantly busy. Just turn the unit around if it bothers you.
