Nice little gadget
I’m his thing is fantastic! Works perfectly. Easy to set up. Very solid!

It does the job of bridging my hardwired system to wifi without running a cable
I have an old ADT alarm system that I now use for local monitoring. I connected it to the internet via EnvisaLink EVL-4EZR. The alarm system is on the other side of the house from my router, and running a cable would be cost/labor prohibitive. The security system just needs to send a few pings every few minutes, nothing really intensive.I had a TP Link TL-WR802N that worked really well until I upgrade my router from an RT-AC3100 to a RT-AX88U. For some reason, the TP Link just would NOT work with the new router. I even tried a new TP Link and a more modern one, the TL-WR902AC.Anyway- nothing seemed to work and those TP-Links were junk. I was faced with having to use an older router or continue tearing my hair out.A friend recommended that I try this. It worked great! Well, it worked okay. I did 4/5 stars because there are so few settings. If you need a wireless extender for a parent or someone else technically challenged, this might be a good bet :). But there’s like 3 settings: setting a password, picking what wifi to connect from, picking your new SSID, and go.I didn’t want to broadcast the extended SSID’s so it was a little bit of work to figure out how to log back into the device to re-set. It’s a little finicky; I had to reset and try again (this time using my guest network) for it to give me an IP I could connect to when I was hardwired with my laptop. Eventually I noticed on my host router that it gave both this device and my laptop a new IP, so I was able to use that as well to manage remotely.I then plugged in my alarm system and it worked perfectly, using another address in my host router’s DHCP range. — It just worked.I wish I could disable the re-broadcasting of the 2.4/5ghz channels, but the best I could do was hide them in the admin / setup portal.Last note: I noticed that it still said 0 attached device(s) when I was connected via a hardwired device. So expect that. And my asus router shows that both of these devices (brostrend router, my security system) are hardwired even though they are coming in via wifi.Hopefully this helps others

WORKS GREAT (SO FAR)
Just received this adapter. My Epson printer was dropping the network connection regularly and became a real problem. The printer is in another room so a direct wired connection was not possible. This adapter had good reviews on multiple web sites that review products so I tried it. A QR code on the box says to scan with the Amazon App for install instructions but that does not work as was mentioned on other reviews. Instead, go to the Amazon App, Find the link for customer service then click on your product order/get product support/visit BrosTrend support website. This will take you to the video that gives clear instructions. I connected using the WPS button and it went smoothly. My printer now works like it did when new. Saved me from having to purchase a new printer after only a year. I hope to have a long time of good service from this adapter but will update my review if it fails to perform. At this time I would recomend this product for a WIFI to LAN connection.

It didn’t work as I expected could not connect the printer and their technical support wasn’t much help

This BrosTrend wifi adapter worked like a charm !I got this wifi adapter for two purposes. The first is to use it with my old MacBook Air from 2010 when I need a faster connection (large backups or file transfers). The second was because I wanted to rearrange my home office and my PC doesn’t have built-in wifi. The PC is currently connected using an Ethernet cable but where I would be placing the PC would make it difficult to connect by Ethernet. I didn’t want to get a long cable and have to run it along several walls. By connecting this simple and affordable wifi adapter, my problem is solved.I want to note that I read the instructions and was careful to load the correct (and up to date) drivers before inserting the USB wifi adapter. This processed worked very well both on my PC (running Windows) and my MacBook Air (running MacOS/OSX). I also made sure to disable the built-in wifi on my MacBook Air so that there wouldn’t be any conflicts and issues. I did a quick internet speed test on the laptop with the built-in wifi and then again with the BrosTrend USB 802.11ac Wifi adapter. I was happy to see that using the BrosTrend doubled the speed that I got.Given the price, performance (doubling my internet connection speed) and ease of use, I am very happy with this adapter and feel that warrants a 5 star rating.Kudos to BrosTrend !———————————-Note: I received this product for free or at a discounted rate in exchange for an unbiased, honest review as provided here.
