According to our WiFi adapter expert
Provide every computer with wireless internet with the Netgear WNDA3100 WiFi adapter. With this usb dongle you ensure a basic wireless connection on every computer. Ideal if your PC does not yet have WiFi. In addition, you extend the life of a computer or laptop whose built-in WiFi no longer works. Because you set up a connection with a maximum speed of 300 Mbps, you use the WiFi adapter to stream video in Full HD.

I bought the NETGEAR WNDA3100 a month and a half ago, which gave me plenty of time to test it out. The reason for purchase was the following: I had purchased a desktop PC, but unfortunately did not have the option to run an Ethernet cable from the router to my PC, which is located on a different floor.
In general, USB network adapters received better reviews than built-in wireless network cards, and the NETGEAR WNDA3100 USB adapter received better reviews than others. The relatively cheap price compared to similar peripherals also appealed to me. I was not familiar with the brand, but I did enjoy an image with an eye on quality.
Installation via the supplied CD was very easy. The option was also given to download the drivers online and finally there was the option to install only the driver (without driver programs). The driver program is user-friendly, but also unnecessary as the driver is more than sufficient.
In addition to the installation CD-ROM, manuals and the network adapter itself, a USB extension cable and a holder are also included. The latter two can be used to position the adapter more practically in order to obtain a better connection.
The final connection is stable and fast. The download speed is twice as fast compared to my laptop and it never cuts out (when my laptop often finds the internet in the same place as the PC is now). Note: I'm barely ~5m from the router, but the connection bridges a floor.
The main purpose is gaming and this works perfectly. So far I haven't had any network issues that I can attribute to the USB network adapter.

Bought a new plasma television last month that supports a WiFi dongle. Now the WiFi module from Panasonic itself was initially recommended (? 99,-) and nothing else was discussed. I went looking for it myself and happened upon this Netgear. They also advertise that it is compatible with the Panasonic plasma. The ease of installation is simply plug and play. The TV automatically finds the WiFi dongle and asks for a network. You enter the network key and the rest happens automatically. Before you know it you will have internet. The reception is completely green with me (5 bars). Now I have to say that the modem is in the same room maybe 6 meters away, so that shouldn't be any different. Also included is a holder with Velcro so that you can neatly hide the dongle behind the TV. For the convenience of laptop installation, there is also a clear manual and CD-ROM with installation software.
Overall very satisfied and works great!

after unpacking and reading the clear manual, this stick was up and running in no time. While a stick supplied by the internet provider stopped working after a few months after an update of the PC to Windows 8.1. This Netgear did not have the slightest problem with that .
