WiFi died on my venerable HP laptop (Win 10 Pro). This has proved to be an excellent solution!I had to disable the on-board WiFi in Device Manager as the laptop BIOS didn't have that option. I then downloaded the necessary drivers to my PC (as per the helpful email sent by the seller prior to arrival of the dongle).I then heard this tremendous banging on the front door. This heralded the arrival of the lunatic delivery driver who seems unable to recognise a doorbell. Anyway, after the usual apologies for the disturbance to people in the adjacent 3 parishes, I popped the dongle into a USB port on the laptop and without fuss, everything burst into life and I had, for the first time, 5GHz WiFi on my laptop (it previously only supported 2.4GHz).Everything works well and the speed improvement is noticeable with large file transfers across our home LAN and MESH WiFi.So, other than with the lunatic who does most of our local PRIME deliveries, I am very pleased indeed. Compared with high street prices, this dongle is also excellent value.It's a tad surprising this device isn't PnP (and requires the download of drivers). However, the installation was simple and painless.

excellent

Easy to set up, works great. The only downside is the very bright blue LED which flashes constantly, I find this quite annoying and would prefer a dim LED or the option to turn the light off via the software

Bought to replace a broken internal Wi-Fi adaptor on a Lenovo laptop. Windows recognised and installed the drivers straight away. Has worked without issue since. Recommended.

Worked immediately and connected to my TP-Link dual channel router. Very pleased. Good value.

Cant use it on work pc. Need to install drivers on windows 10

Item purchased: Sept19Enclosed CD: make sure you wipe it thoroughly before use otherwise you make have problems reading it, however I would not bother as the drivers on it are old and you're better off downloading more recent ones (for windows) if it is not automatically recognised.w10 auto recognised: This seems to depend on which revision of W10 you're running, some of my earlier W10 laptops did not recognise it and i had to use the downloaded drivers, whilst others recognised it from the box !Linux: Totally and completely forget the enclosed CD, it is completely useless, does not even have the required tar driver, you can downloaded later version but (a) they are kernel dependent and (b) disto dependent and furthermore the install.sh file doesn't work.If you want to get it to work under linux (I only tried this on ubuntu-mate 18.04) you need to git clone from brektrou/rtl8821CU and install the dkms package -linux admins will know what this means.Overall once i got it working I got around 450Mbps on the 5GH-ac channel whilst in the same room as the router. Not too shabby for a cheapish dongle.Anyway, hope above helps other installation sufferers.

Super-easy to install. With Windows 10 [build 1909] I didn't need to install any drivers first from either the supplied CD or the download link - I just plugged the dingle into an available USB port and within seconds I had a new WiFi network available on my desktop PC.Only one minor bit of configuration was that the initial connexion to the WiFi router was only at 72Mbps so, must have only been on a 2.4GHz band. This was easily resolved by configuring the new Network adapter in Device Manager: in the 'Advanced' tab there is a list item for 'Wireless Mode' which I changed from 'Auto' to 'IEEE 802.11a/n/ac'. Boom! - connexion speed now 433Mbps.If I'd installed the driver first maybe that bit of config wouldn't have been needed... but that settings tweak might just help somebody else. You DO need a router that supports these 5GHz network protocols though, obviously.Once installed, the new WiFi connexion seems to be working perfectly so far - would definitely recommend this if you need a super-quick way of enabling WiFi on a PC :).
