Review: I've been using a cheap usb adapter that was supplied with my pc, and have been having difficulty receiving a wifi signal from my downstairs router. After a little research I decided to try this product, as it had received favourable reviews and was for sale at a reasonable price. The adapter was easy to set up - just pop in the CD and follow the instructions. Managed to connect without any problems, and the connection seems to be strong and fast. The long cable and cradle supplied with the adapter are a handy addition as I can move the adapter away from possible signal interference. Couldn't be happier with this product, and would definitely recommend! Review: I'm an IT person with over 20 years experience working with PCs. As to be expected my home is wired or rather very wireless with over 9 devices that connect to the internet one way or the other (and the number is always increasing it seems). I already owned two Netgear WNA1100 802.11n adapters and and I was happy to order two more from desertcart. I downloaded the drivers from the Netgear website, never looked at the drivers on the disk. Long story short they worked great and with no issues with Windows 7 32bit and 64 bit but this is not where the story ends, I got my best performance after I optimized my wireless network. In some cases I was able to double my connection speeds. Let me share how I optimized my wireless network: a) I used the websites speedtest.net and pingtest.net to determine my internet connection speed (use a wired connection to the router for this). This is your REAL baseline, it is very hard for a wireless connection to beat a shielded wired connection to a router. If your wireless connection equals the speed of your wired connection you are good and probably as good as you are going to get. b) Find a wireless channel that is not in used near your house. The default channel in most routers is 6 and you have a choice from 1 to 11. Use the Netgear Network connectivity software and find an unused channel and test again. You will need access to your router settings for this. This is especially important if your neighbors are close like on apartments or townhouses. I have over 13 wireless networks in range of my house and using a channel that the others are not using was the best improvement I did to my wireless network. c) Move the Netgear WNA1100 802.11n to new locations. Moving the Netgear WNA1100 802.11n on top of the computer or another place on my desks helped increased speed in some cases by over 50%. Always test your speed after any change. To those people only looking at connection speeds to their router (looking for for the mythical 144 mbps); it matters little, why? I can connect at 144 mbps or at 65 mbps to my router but my internet connection is only 25 mbps (that is my case, even from work I get no more than 48 mbps on a commercial internet connection, speedtest.net ). Now, this MAY vary (maybe you have a SUPER fast internet connection) but let me say that the average internet speed in the US is from 10 to 12 mbps. Keep this in mind when trying to upgrade to a faster router, your bottleneck may actually be your provider and not your router (or your adapters). If it is Internet speed what you are looking for begin by evaluating what your internet provider is giving you. Note about the Netgear WNA1100 802.11n: This N adapter uses the 2.4 MHz band ONLY and depending on where you live this frequency might be too congested. Other N adapters (the N300 series) can run on the 5 MHz band (newer, faster, and less congested) but you will also need a router that supports the 5 Mhz. Also note that the 5 Mhz band has a shorter range than the 2.4 MHz band but it also faster (but will not give you faster speeds than a wired connection to your router. If you already run as fast as your wired connection using a wireless adapter you are probably at your best internet connection speed already). Also note that many N capable devices (like iPhones) do not support the 5 Mhz band. Some routers (dual band) will let you run BOTH on the 5 MHz band and 2.4 MHz band at the same time. ## Features - Wi-Fi standard-IEEE 802.11n (draft); wireless security-WEP.WPA-PSK.WPA2-PSK; physical characteristics-depth-2.4 - ISM band-yes; interfaces/ports-host interface-USB; physical characteristics - weight (approximate) - 2.61 oz - ISM maximum frequency-2.40 GHz; physical characteristics - height - 0.3 - Wireless transmission speed-150 Mbps; physical characteristics - width - 0.7 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0036R9XRU | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Brand | NETGEAR | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (536) | | Date First Available | 6 August 2012 | | Item Weight | 168 g | | Item model number | WNA1100-100ENS | | Manufacturer | Netgear | | Operating System | Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP | | Product Dimensions | 16.21 x 13.49 x 4.09 cm; 167.83 g | | Wattage | 1.00 | | Wireless Type | 802.11bgn | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NETGEAR - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Data link protocol:** IEEE 802.11n, USB - **Hardware interface:** 802.11 b/g/n, USB, USB Streaming ## Images ![Netgear Wireless N 150 USB Adapter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617WkI0BaXL.jpg) ![Netgear Wireless N 150 USB Adapter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BV0Srf6vL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work with old Xbox 360?** A: No, these do not work with the XBOX 360 at all **Q: Will this work on my samsung tv** A: I'm going to have to go with a safe answer and say no. I'm not 100% sure that I am correct on this, but I don't think it will work. You will probably have to use Samsung's own adapter that they have. It is called a LinkStick. Most usb wireless adapters are going to require a driver to make it work, and you don't have a way to do that with your tv. I would do a search for Linkstick in the Amazon search and look at the ones that come up. If you look at the reviews for them there have been a lot of people posting what models each one seems to work with. **Q: Does it support Linux?** A: I run OpenSUSE and this is detected and works perfectly. **Q: will this adapter work with lego mindstorm EV3 ?** A: I'm not to familiar with Lego mindstorm...setup with the USB adapter requires a desktop or computer. This device basically allows your computer to pick up on wireless signals in the area ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***N on 12 December 2011* I've been using a cheap usb adapter that was supplied with my pc, and have been having difficulty receiving a wifi signal from my downstairs router.

I ran the installation software on a very old Dell laptop and a newer HP desktop that are both running XP. The software installed on both without any trouble and the adapter found my wireless router quickly. It couldn't have been much simpler. On the old laptop however, during installation the software did say it had trouble detecting the router, but as soon as I clicked on the wireless icon in the system tray it brought up the Netgear connection screen and the router was indeed located. The data speed seems to be pretty fast. I have a new Acer laptop with internal wireless running Windows 7 and the Netgear adapter connects the older computers just as well as the Acer, which has very good connection capability. I'm so pleased with it that I may order a second one so that I don't have to swap it between the desktop and old laptop. Nice product. Would recommend it to friends. Update: 7 months later and the adapter is still working perfectly with enough speed to stream HD videos. Very pleased. I purchased a second one for another desktop and it's working perfectly too. ## Frequently Bought Together - NETGEAR N150 Wi-Fi USB Adapter (WNA1100) - NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS305) - Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Plug-and-Play, Silent Operation, Desktop or Wall Mount - NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS308) - Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Plug-and-Play, Silent Operation, Desktop or Wall Mount --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/384541834-netgear-wireless-n-150-usb-adapter](https://www.desertcart.in/products/384541834-netgear-wireless-n-150-usb-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
