Because I want to hurt the company like they have hurt me.

A ton of people have had trouble with all 6xxx cards.

Forewarned is forearmed

Please please save yourself time, money, and trouble!  Do not buy anything from NETGEAR. 

 

Spend a minute browsing this board, and you will know.   Netgear is crap now a days.

Asus Or intel,  cant go wrong!!!

 i understand your feeling as to the reply but if people buy a product with a brand name like yourself who seems not to like Netgear WHY login to that brand names site forum saying Do not buy anything from NETGEAR. i have read reviews which people say its good i dont make a decision based on one persons point of view  i am just asking a simple question will a USB3 Wifi Adapter work on USB 2 for which is the reason i came on here & posted the question.

Yes, it will work on USB 2.   in fact, very few people can get it TO work on USB 3.

 

 

ALL USB 3 thingies are backward compatible.   I think it is required to be certified USB

Re: Netgear AC1200 USB WiFi Adaptor

Hi thanks for an answer for which i do appreciate. i have no idea why you say I want to hurt the company like they have hurt me. A ton of people have had trouble with all 6xxx cards. have no idea what 6xxx cards & really i dont want to know, i have never had any problems with netgear products & have found their products to be very reliable, thats why i was looking at this option. im sorry you feel agrevied with netgear & im sure netgear will survive as they are bigger than one man. you seem a very nice person with a grudge if  i were you i would stop bothering yourself with such things, life is to short to bother about minor annoyances i have several tee shirts from such things
