Called Gerrit from Coolblue customer service. I presented my situation to him (dual band modem with both bands under 1 SSID, Windows 8.1, difficult reception on the 1st floor) and he advised me to buy this WiFi adapter.
Immediately closed the sale. The same day I received an email that the adapter had been sent and the next day it was already in.
Connecting the adapter went smoothly, because Windows 8.1 did not recognize the adapter, the supplied CD with the drivers was required. Immediately installed the latest firmware via the Linksys site.
After this, the adapter works fine: it automatically chooses the band with the best available signal, and this is regularly the 5 band.
I am very satisfied with Coolblue's service and the product, although I found it a bit less when I noticed that this adapter was EUR 15 cheaper at some competitors.

I bought the Linksys WiFi adapter because the built-in WiFi adapter of my ASUS laptop was not working properly with the internet at my school. Every 10 minutes the laptop would disconnect from the internet until I restarted it. At the ICT they said it was the built-in adapter and could not be solved, so I bought this Linksys. Fortunately, this works well with the WiFi at school.
The adapter was, as I am used to from Coolblue, well packed in a large, sturdy box. It is not ugly to look at and has nicely rounded corners. It is a little movable in the USB port of my laptop, but still feels solid.
After unpacking and observing the new WiFi adapter (which arrived undamaged) and installing the software with the supplied CD, I subjected the adapter to a signal range test. The signal from this adapter is equal to the signal range of my built-in adapter, which is an unexpected plus for me. I then tested via an online Speedtest whether there is a noticeable speed difference between my built-in adapter and this "stick". The download speed with the built-in adapter was 35megabit/s and with the stick the download speed was 26megabit/s. The upload speed was the same for both adapters at 24megabit/s. The difference in latency was 3ms: 13ms with the built-in adapter versus 16ms with the stick, but this may also depend on the quality of the USB port.
The Wifi USB stick meets my expectations and has now (after about a week of use) shown no defects. The reception is consistently good, without huge drops in connection speed.
All in all, I think this is a well-performing WiFi USB stick.

The Linksys WUSB6100M is a good improvement for my Lenovo laptop that only has a 2.4 GHz adapter built in, and cannot be replaced by the stupid whitelist in the BIOS that Lenovo uses. My internal adapter got about 3.5 MBps with a large file on LAN, the Linksys got 7 MB/s on 2.4 and 11.5 MB/s on 5.0 GHz.
Downside is that you can move it back and forth in the lock; this does not feel solid but fortunately it does not lead to failure. The adapter sticks out two or three cm, which is less than many other USB adapters, but more than the smallest in existence; but the smaller, the worse the range.
I can't say anything about the range of this WUSB-61000 yet, don't walk around with it and it's about 3 m from an access point. Installation went smoothly under Windows 10 Home, just disable the internal adapter itself.
