Bolse 300Mbps Wireless-N USB Network Adapter

Screen Shot 2014-10-21 at 3.24.14 PMI was really happy to get this WiFi USB stick because I have a couple of older or low-power computers that did not come with native WiFi connectivity. The WiFi stick comes with a small CD which contains all the necessary drives for my computer. I installed the drivers on my old Windows 7 machine and with that the USB stick was recognized immediately. I recently moved that computer from my home office to my workshop, and this WiFi adapter was exactly what I needed to get full functionality out of that machine. I was really impressed with the data transfer rate. Even all the way across the house and through several walls away from my WiFi router, this WiFi adapter was still receiving a very impressive and smooth Internet connection. (I do have the latest powerful Netgear WiFi router though.) I was able to stream the high-def online content to it without a glitch. So far I have only had the best of experiences with it and would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive and reliable WiFi adapter.

I also tried connecting the adapter to my diminutive Raspberry Pi computer. To my surprise and delight the adapter was immediately recognized and started working on the spot. Raspberry Pi is a bare-bones computer that requires a lot of add-ons in order to get some of the rudimentary functionality of the “regular” sized computers. It does come with a dedicated ethernet jack, but connecting it to ethernet can sometimes be awkward. Its ultra-small size makes it an ideal wireless computer, and a micro WiFi adapter like this one is a perfect accessory for it.
