It works great,

Easy to install, works well.

All you need to do is plug in the device to one of the of the USB on the laptop or PC, wait a few seconds to establish the signal and it is on. The easiest plug and play device.

I borrowed a cd rom drive from my son to use the small disk to install the drivers and it really worked great. At first I was disappointed that I didn't check to see how the drivers were to be installed before buying it because my pc didn't have a cd drive built in but the external one I borrowed worked great. It works as advertised.

When I installed an upgraded wireless 5G router, I found that my ancient (7 year old) Dell laptop did not support 5G wireless. Not wanting to go through the hassle of setting up a new laptop, I searched around for a alternate solution. That's how I found the BlueShadow WiFi USB adapter. Actually, there are a number of different devices that handle this problem and the price is definitely less than a new laptop. I ordered and received it the following day. While waiting I did some reading and found that the necessary drivers could be downloaded from BlueShadow. I knew that the product came with an installation CD, but pulling out an external drive is usually a pain. Also, when I received the package I found that the included CD is one of those small (M-Disk) things. I don't know if my external drive will even accept one of these, so downloading the software was a good solution for me. After downloading the driver package, I found that it included a quick-install PDF document. Reading through it only took about five minutes and was definitely worth the effort. There are several important tips: 1. You must "disable" the existing Wireless device if your computer has one. Otherwise the computer will be confused about which wireless device to use. Do this before anything else. 2. Unzip the downloaded driver package then find the folder for your operating system. They include folders for Windows, Linux and Apple. In the correct folder is an "Install.exe" file. Double click this application and the normal Windows installation screen will show and you can do a normal software install. 3. Once the install process is completed restart your computer. You can plug in the USB WIFI device before performing the restart. After restarting, go to your "Available Networks" list and you should see your 5G network. Click on it and enter any required password. That's it, I now have 5G wireless access on my old non-5G laptop. Total installation time is under ten minutes once you know what to do. So far, the device work perfectly. Connects automatically on start up and doesn't seem to be unstable or to have disconnect issues. For the price, it's an amazing solution.
