i have a SUPER old desktop computer that can't receive wifi, it only works on a telephone line so will the adapter enable it to receive wifi?

it didn't work for me, so I wouldn't buy it if you don't have to. I would suggest trying something else.

It should with the correct driver. Most WiFi adapters come with a disk or a website to download it. Hope this helps

This device only converts HDMI to VGA, so if your wireless adapter has an HDMI output, yes. This device does not receive wireless signals.

i use the power line adapter with that range extender(TL-WA850RE) and it works very well. No problems at all.

Hi Bernie,Happy holidays! I just received my X-mas gift in the mail, the USB-Nano 11N Wifi-Adapter! :-D Thank you! That was very nice.This might be a dumb question but what can I use it for? Is it for older laptops and computers that don't already have a Wifi receiver built in?

Yes, Karen. The AE2500 will provide a wireless capability to your desktop. Make sure it meets the minimum system requirements.

No, but the adapter runs really well. Surprisingly well. Most towers don't really have a built in wireless router anyway.

Yes. You can connect the Gaming Adapter to a router or switch that the PC is also connected to instead of straight to the PC. Just make sure the PC is connected with a cable, NOT wireless. Wireless will work, but you invite trouble.

No, you will have 2 WiFi adapters on your PC and actually you can get connected to either one or both and get more throughput. (150 Mbps "original/internal" adapter + 300 Mbps external adapter = 450 Mbps)

If your machine has a WiFi adapter-card, in other words WiFi capable-this will work. If you don't have a dvd/cd drive to download from the included driver disc-I believe you can download the driver from online...

I purchased the Wi-Fi network adapter...sorry to inform you, that it did not work for me.I called the seller of this product and the followed detail instructions given me...This Wi-Fi did not work for me. Perhaps you will have better luck than I...to me this purchase was a waste of money.

You should not have a problem. In theory, adapters should be able to connect to any wireless network with a compatible signal (of course that's not always the case in reality). That being said, I've tested this adapter on several different networks, and I've never run into problems regardless of router. However, I have heard that some people can't pick up the 5.0ghz signal from other types of routers (non-Cisco/Linksys), but I don't have evidence supporting that claim other than a couple isolated instances. Good luck!

The PC does not include a wireless adapter for connection to a wireless router, but it does include a wired connection. So if your router is nearby, you can easily connect it using a standard network cable (which is not included). I simply bought a cheap USB wireless adapter to connect it to our network. It works fine. I'd buy this PC again if I needed one. It is ideal for my son, who lives in the basement.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Hello Jeffery,Thank you for showing interest in our products. In theory, this will work but there is a risk of voltage drop since WiFi adapters in general tend to draw a lot of current. This will manifest itself in the WiFi adapter dropping off the USB bus repeatedly. For more timely responses please contact us directly at support@plugable.com. Kind regards,PatricPlugable Technologies

Yes, that is what it is for. However, you have to download the driver from a computer with internet connectivity FIRST for it to work. You can find the driver on Netgears website. Download the driver onto a SD card or USB stick. The simply install it on the computer you need wifi on, then hook up the netgear unit. Driver can be found here. http://support.netgear.com/product/WNA3100. Its easy breezy.

No Sorry, Just be careful when you try to buy adapter too, because those tend not to work either. Good Luck, my next pruchase will be wireless

yes. I used it on my old desktop that only had a hook up connection and it worked great. My desktop now has a wireless connection thanks to this. I love it.
