NETGEARNighthawk WiFi 6E USB 3.0 Adapter (A8000) - AXE3000 Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Speed (Up to 3Gbps) - New 6GHz Band – Works with Any WiFi 6 or 6E Router Or Mesh System - for Windows PC

This is a month-long use review, as I wanted to wait for a few weeks before posting my impressions.This adapter installed easily (Win 10), and it has functioned very reliably. It does require software to install (included on a thumb drive in the package), but it didn't require much in the way of expertise to initiate. I'm getting excellent speeds for upload/download (1200/1200 Mbps) as reported by advanced properties within network properties in the 'network and internet settings' module in Windows. Recommended.

This adapter is an absolute beast. I was skeptical at first, but after plugging in the A8000, I saw an immediate jump in my download speeds. My old adapter barely kept up, but this one consistently delivers fast, stable connections—even on the crowded 6GHz band.Streaming in 4K? No problem. Downloading massive files? Blazing fast. It’s honestly like I upgraded my whole internet setup just by adding this one piece of gear. Setup was easy, drivers installed quickly, and it’s been rock-solid ever since. If you're looking to future-proof your setup or just want a serious boost in performance, this is it.Highly recommend—worth every penny.

Easy to set up and works great! Can even game with it, just as good of a connection at Ethernet. I also like the ability to switch from the docked position to plugging it directly into the computer for travel. Great design, great product!

I've used Netgear for like twenty years now. The last adapter I bought from them was the WNA 1100 and it still works on some of my older computers but it has a hard time keeping up with WiFi 6 so I bought this NightHawk A8000 and it's freaking amazing. It's super fast, it's got strong connectivity. I think the thing I loved the most was that they included a thumb drive with the driver already loaded so that I didn't have to go hunting for it online. You just plug it in your pc, run the setup wizard and twenty seconds later you're in business. They've got a nice long cord to give enough play for people who use a desk that functions as both standup and sit-down. If you're a very security conscious person and you don't want to use the included thumb drive (Stuxnet), they of course still offer their driver online.

Setup was effortless, and the WiFi 6/6E speeds are insanely fast! Perfect for PC's that have to be further from the Router and lose signal and get slower speeds with the internal WiFi cards.I'm 60 feet from my router and I get every drop of MBPS I pay for with this receiver.That's a huge plus, because I upload a lot of files and data working remote.It's also great for gaming & streaming video - No more buffering or dropped connections as the high-gain antennas provide a strong, stable signal at a distance. Works flawlessly.If you need a upgrade, this is it!

I used this to replace an old garbage Wi-Fi card in an obsolete form factor installed in an old Dell laptop. This works great, nice speeds and latency. No special driver garbage under Linux.The base is stable and the cable included is a pretty nice length so you can set it off to the side. It does take up some vertical space when you unfold it for the antenna, but if you are using it on a desk, it shouldn't get too much in the way.

The product was great And worked as advertised. Unfortunately you cannot register it with Netgear as the Company website cannot recognize the serial number printed on the box. It maintains that the products country of is incorrect. Because the serial number is not valid you cannot file an action with Customer Service since the serial number is not recognized by Netgear. I doubt that Amazon is selling fakes but it appears that I am cut off from software updates, firmware updates and any advice from Netgear because they cannot recognize the serial number printed on the box housing the product. This has been an amazingly painful customer experience.After calling Netgear and complaining about my experience I found and CSR who was willing to help solve my problem. The same Serial Number that was rejected when I used it worked for her and the product is now registered. However, the experience with the actual install worsened.Although the installation software indicates that it will disable other Wi-Fi adapters, it did not do so, as there was a low speed Intel modem integrated in the PC motherboard that I had to disable. After doing that I found that the AXE3000 was not working correctly and that there had been an update to the installation software, although I had used the fob included with the product for the install (and it was this that was out-of-date). So I installed the new software and somewhere in the process other software on the computer was damaged.I was moving a computer for my spouse's use to a room she had chosen that did not have a LAN connection so I thought the AXE3000 would be a good choice. It was for most things as its speed is quite high. However, somewhere in the process the installation damaged data for Battlenet and Worlds of Warcraft and the game (played by my spouse for two decades) is now unplayble and I am unable to find a fix. Thanks Netgear.

I just installed this Net gear product and I must say that it works extremely well ! Must faster than the WI Fi little thumb drive that came with my computer .. Download speeds are the fastest I have ever seen !
