I bought this because my laptop's internal Wi-Fi was broken and I didn't want to mess with unscrewing screws and such. Installation is a breeze: insert a small USB stick, install the software, plug the device into a USB-3 port, enter the Wi-Fi password, and you're good to go. Note: install the drivers via the included USB stick, not the drivers Windows searches for. It's very stable and has good speeds. I get up to 420 MB of download speed on Wi-Fi 5. The device is also ready for Wi-Fi 6 and higher in the future. A 70cm connection cable is included. It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Don't hesitate, just do it.

I only had 2.5-3 MB of upload speed on my PC via a direct Ethernet cable connection to the Telenet modem. Upload speed was 900 MB. I bought this because I thought I had a problem with the Ethernet card (a 3-year-old Dell PC), but I can't get above 4-5 MB of upload speed (I should have at least 20).
