For those who need a spare wifi connection while re installing a freshly new operating system. I find this very useful in terms of : if i need drivers for an existing hardware this is a great solution and the installer if you lose the cd just go the linksys web site and the program is as easy as a 123. im actually very impressed how fast it was able to recognize the device on my pc. I was able to use this temporary since i didnt have a ethernet crossover cable to do adhoc for my desktop to access the internet from my laptop. with this i was able to plugin and load the cd and run the 3dp chip software to install my onboard drivers with ease and vola.

Its works with windows 10, only after hassles of fooling around with settings. Even after that when i upgraded windows 10 to the anniversy edition, i had to remove the AE2500 to install the update. Lynksys doesn't support windows 10 with this adapter so your on your own. All that being said, its worked just fine since with zero disconnects after about 3 weeks of running my system. If you use it with windows 7(not sure what other OS's are supported), then its outstanding.

Someone stated that this does not work with Windows 10. Not true ! Works very well with Windows 10 Pro 64bit. I've had this Linksys "Cisco" AE2500 for better than 6 years. It has always been reliable and only had a few disconnects " loss of signal" occurrence each year. Cause of dropped internet connection is unknown but possibly a Server issue with the Internet Service Provider own servers. Also at times might of been a result of a Thunder Storm/ weather interference. In a couple years I will update to AC, as N will become obsolete. The only major problem I have is with my old 2002 Compaq Presario desktop with Windows XP Pro 32bit. I had revived the Compaq Presario so I can use my HP ScanJet 5370c - scanner since HP never updated Drivers for Vista, Win7, Win8.1 and Win10. Not a big deal but would of been nice that the AE2500 would connect instead of being random as in One connect in 100 attempts or waiting 30 minutes to many hours before it decides "Oh! I miraculously decided to connect when you were not looking ". I'm not sure what causes the AE2500 and Windows XP not to play nice with each other. Could be possible my desktop is too old and unable to synchronize the data speed rate to any wireless signal until magic happens. It will connect with Windows XP but if you turn off your PC and later power up -turn on- please expect not to get connected anytime soon. It is super fussy.Read full review

I never have any problems with any Links ys producr. I bought their wireless router a few years back and the bought one N600 wireless USB adapter. I recently moved and needed to get another N600. Took me less than 3 minutes to get up and running on my network. Very easy and very secure.

My built-in wireless adapter went on my Sony laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit). I purchased this item to use in it's place. The installation was simple, and it is working flawlessly. That saves me from buying a new laptop or spending a small fortune to fix the original.
