    Discarded after one year

    The key worked fine for the first few weeks, but soon there were unwanted disconnections.

    I do not recommend this key, it is now unusable for me.

    very good for a 5Ghz wifi connection

    Perfectly recognized, install in place of an internal wifi card on a laptop. Also allows me to free up the 2.4 Ghz wifi network.

    Nice, but be careful!

    I bought this dongle at a good price in order to put my computer on wi-fi and to be able to use the 5 ghz frequency of the orange livebox.
    However, if you are listening to streaming radio, directly in your player, remember to check 2 things:
    The range of the livebox as well as the thickness of the walls of your house, and the various devices that could create interference with the frequency used (2,4 or 5) because as powerful as it is, the internet connection may bug or cut off intermittently.... If not, it does the job!
