I bought one with my new computer, and it kept having this problem where it wouldn't be recognized and I had to reinstall it every time my computer shut down. Eventually, it would work again and then stop again, without any material changes in use or configuration. Now, about a year after I bought it , with the warranty freshly expired, it's completely broken down. Netgear's product has been terrible, and I would recommend against buying it.
