Do Not Waste Your Money

Save your money. So far I've ended purchasing two differnt NETGEAR, network adapters, and all have dissapointed me so far. I reccomend just saving your money and buying yourself a pcie network adapter instead of buying this piece of crap. While having this, Ive just had constant network drop offs, the usb disconnecting by itself, the chip getting so hot like its ridiculous. I know for a fact that it can't be a problem on my end because I had recent just bought my new rig, and it's working just fine except for the internet adapter. Granted that anyone has a clear fix so i get no MORE network drop off, you can change my mind on this, but untill that happens, this is just not worth my 80 dollars
