PROS: The unit does help increase week wifi signals. I can’t tell how much definitely but my signal level increased about two bars. The unit is stable with no signal breaks or drop offs. The unit is larger than most portable wifi units that I have used in the past. With its base, I would not use this unit at a coffee shop as it is very obvious and large. However, without its base, you can connect the unit directly to your laptop with no obvious issues. The base unit also has magnets which you can use to position it on a metal surface if you have one. The unit’s driver, which was described as rather large in the comments section, is divided into two types. One type is standalone and a complete suite. I just used the standalone and it worked just fine with no issues noted thus far. The installation was relatively simple with no hang ups noted. Thus far, I have encountered no issues with this unit.
CONS: The unit is larger than most. If you use the base, it will use a portion of your desktop that otherwise would be vacant. Not a big issue if you have a normal desk; however, if you are in cramped quarters just be aware. I wish they provided a longer cord for the base unit and made the chord a little thinner; although, not a significant issue thus far. The unit is not plug and play. You have to download the driver, its in a zip format, then decide what driver unit you want to use. It has a standalone and a suite format. I just used the standalone and it worked fine, for me not an issue, but some may find it confusing. The unit uses USB 3 or 2, but for best performance you have to have a USB 3 port open. For some laptops, this may be an issue, especially if you have other devices already attached to the laptop. I use this unit on a desktop so I don’t have this issue.
I have used this unit continuously for about two weeks thus far with no issues noted. Thus far, it works as advertised.
I was going to upgrade a variety of items (may still do that) but decided probably grabbing a new USB dongle for my laptop would be the fastest solution for me... and it was.
The Netgear A7000 comes with a CD in the box to install software and drivers initially, but my ASUS Vivobook doesn't have an internal CD-ROM so I just plugged the sucker in and hoped for the best. Nothing. Visited the Netgear website to install the latest drivers and did, still nothing. Device wouldn't recognize driver and also appeared the Netgear Genie software wouldn't actually run either. I eventually had to manually install the driver for the device myself, not a big issue, but not something I think the average user would be able to accomplish.
After I got the drivers installed, everything worked like a charm. As you can see from the included image. Got improved speeds overall, with fairly significant jump in my upload speeds.
Now I just need to go in and relabel my wifi connections from Wifi1 and Wifi2 to something more helpful and descriptive.

Te ayuda mucho, depende mucho de la distancia y cuantas paredes hay entre el punto de acceso o modem a la antena.
Pero a una distancia de 5 metros y 3 paredes, pude hasta jugar juegos online con solo 50 -90 ms de latencia.
Aumenta el mucho la recepcion en 2.4Ghz y 5Ghz del wifi.
No necesitas en algunos equipos el driver por que usa el por default de windows, pero siempre puedes descargarlo de la pagina oficial.
Netgear's advice is:
"Since the product software is only compatible with the Mac OS X 10.8.3 or later, we recommend you to return the product to point of purchase since we don't have any other option for it to be installed under Mac OS 11 or newer, we apologies for the inconvenience the product have caused you." Evidently the "or later" means something else to the company. It cannot be bothered to update and clarify its product info – this is a disgraceful lapse for such a fine producer.
