Nice but some bugs

I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working properly and if it's not. Otherwise fast, but nothing beats a good ethernet cable.

No need

Last purchase from this brand. I bought two models from them neither of which work properly I get a ridiculous throughput. The software crashes all the time and nothing works. To say that this key is Windows 10 compatible is a lie.

        WiFi modem key

        Product I already knew (2 keys in use). Good product and always excellent LDLC service.

        Good cheap wifi key

        A good inexpensive wifi stick that does the trick. I used it on an old computer that was getting old and didn't have a wifi card. The speed is acceptable because the key is wifi 5. If you have a fibre optic connection and prefer Wifi 6, this will be worth it.

        Great for getting rid of cables and connecting a desktop computer to the home wifi network. Works very well. I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. I can only recommend this product.

        No problem

        On an old computer (2009) with W10 I had to use the installation CD, which is a bit old-fashioned for a simple wifi key. It's not a problem, the key is forgotten, that's all we ask.

        The key is perfect for connecting to a wifi router. Simple installation and very discreet. The dongle has good performance.

        Good for back-up bad for gaming

        The dongle is small and handy, and the WPS button is a plus for easy connection.
        On the other hand, the network stability is really poor. I have big drops in speed! I've tested with another key, my network is stable.
        I've tested with another key, my network is stable. So this key is good for backup, to surf the net or watch a series, but for online games, you have to forget it.

        Small but effective

        I bought it to connect an old work PC to my Wifi network.
        It's a little key that doesn't look like much. Easy and quick to install.
        It's a good idea to have a cd drive or it will be more complicated.
        It works very well with a good flow.
        I'm happy with my purchase.

        Laborious installation under Linux (ubuntu)

        Laborious installation under Linux, it was necessary to use unofficial repositories. In spite of this, the operation is not optimal: a disconnection followed by a reconnection is sometimes necessary.

        Nice green flashing LED in server style.

        I haven't played yet. It's more stable and responsive than my old nails. The difference is minimal compared to cable. My ISP doesn't provide me with more than 4 Mbps. The installation was easy for me. I ran the installation software and it asked me to plug in the dongle and I can watch YouTube videos in 1080P.

        very disappointed

        I had big problem of connection with this wifi key, a very unstable connection delivered which allows me to be able to do nothing on Internet and pick up the wifi on a weak distance because being in 15 steps of my box I do not arrive to be able to connect me on this key thus very disappointed

        Deception

        Simple to implement, but the quality of reception, for me, is poor while the wifi transmitter is located in the same room... So quite disappointed by this key which seems to be peblicite otherwise

        As expected

        After the "death" of my Wifi card, this was an efficient and inexpensive solution. Plugged in, connected, it's as simple as that. The connection is stable and allows you to watch Netflix in HD without worry.

        Okay

        Not tested much due to time constraints, but seems to do the job (I didn't test the cryptography function). In any case, recognized and functional right away on a Raspberry Pi 2B+ with OSMC as the OS, the use I reserved for it so I give it five stars.

        Good product

        The driver is a bit strange, I installed it when I received it, but it doesn't allow any adjustments or anything.

        I have no complaints at all, this little dongle makes my life easier and is quite efficient, with very little loss of speed compared to the classic RJ45.

        It's a good product, I give it 5/5, if I could I would have given it 4.5/5 because I didn't really understand this driver thing, but it works fine, that's all we ask for :)

        Placed on central unit, fast connection to NETGEAR R7000P router, very good speed
        Only the installation of the driver allows the connection

        It arrived very quickly and was installed on my desktop PC without any problems with Windows 7. I didn't try to measure the speed but I don't see any real difference with the built-in WiFi in my laptops.

        Good Product

        I only received it 2 days ago but it is very easy to install (drivers etc) and works perfectly.
        I'm using it on a university network (so login) and no worries for me.
        I have to see if it lasts but it is much simpler than a network card.

        Works but disappointed with the speed

        I don't know if it comes from my USB ports but the speed is even worse than with the PLC boxes... so finally investment in a wireless PCI card, since my wifi coverage is very good (on my laptop with integrated wifi receiver, I go up to 220 mb/s in reception and 110 in sending on a speed test site, whereas I barely manage 15 in reception and 5 in sending with this key!)

        Very good

        I spent several days trying to configure 3 wifi cards on my computers. And I bought this wifi stick. It connected instantly with the maximum possible speed of my router. As a result, I have reserved 2 other identical cards that I can also use if I replace a computer.

        Wi-Fi key

        The product was received very quickly and was very easy to set up, just plug in and it was recognised quickly without any further action on my part.

        I was looking for a cheap dongle capable of 300mbps, after 2 weeks of use it never reaches its maximum speed, the dongle is unstable, heats up and doesn't want to connect anymore... Refund!

        Not great, big ping spike. Not really made for Gaming.
        I had no choice but to use the wifi, so I was looking for a wifi key.
        But perfect for a "normal" activity.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's not really good for gaming!

        Order reception

        I mistakenly failed to collect the parcel from the reception point in time, it was gone when I went there.

        I have to thank LDLC for sending it back to me free of charge, this is a very rare behaviour and it was also very fast.

        BRAVO LDLC

        nothing to say about the ldlc service, always impeccable.

        But the key does not work under LINUX MINT (and therefore probably under ubuntu). despite many hours spent applying the indications of the forums, I did not manage to make it recognized. it seems that there is a bug with the driver. I ended up buying the TP-LINK TL-WN722N which is recognized immediately and gives full satisfaction

        Without more

        Good value for money, the reception is correct even if I sometimes lose the connection for a few microseconds, after checking it does not come from my box, but from the key. I'm not sure if this is a problem that has been solved yet, despite the drivers and TP-Link software that has been installed. I would recommend this product.

        Compact key, works perfectly under Windows 10. The signal quality is really good, both on the front and on the back of the tower.
        The only downside is that for Windows 10, I had to right click on the .inf file in the Windows 8 drivers folder to install the drivers manually. The setup was crashing.

        Problem!

        I have a recent machine running Win 10 and the drive only works correctly on a USB 3.0 port. The various drivers I have tried do not solve the problem, but otherwise the speed is fast in USB 3.0. I have tried different drivers but they don't solve the problem.

        Very good Wi-fi key after two years.

        I bought it in 2014 and it still works great. No ping/latency just watch out for the heat, as soon as in the summer you put it behind the pc the heat from the procc/graphic card made it go haywire. I just had to plug it in at the front to get it to work. My use is web surfing plus jv (csgo).

        Perfect

        Perfect little key. It is discreet and powerful for domestic use.
        Installation is simple, operation is flawless.
        Well designed and visually pleasing wireless network manager compared to other brands.

        I recommend this product.

        Excellent

        The price is right, it would be a shame to miss out on this excellent wifi stick which pleasantly surprised me given the thickness of my walls and the distance to my modem. A must have if you don't want to invest in a network card.

        Well

        I received my wifi usb key at the same time as my pc ordered from ldlc, I have nothing to say about it, it's worth the price, can reach the same level as a cable connection without any problem, so excellent product.

        Excellent material

        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product, it's a great product, very practical for its size, just plug it in and it installs itself, good speed, good for gaming and office use, I recommend it if you don't want to bother with a whole network card to install and all that goes with it.
