These adapters hit the market at the tail end of the PCI interface era (just before PCI-E became dominate) and at the very beginning of Wireless-N networking. They were very expensive when they first came out. I'm not sure where he got these but they are definitely a good deal. As far as I can tell they really aren't "refurbished", they seem to be brand new (I purchased 3 of them). I looked very close at the PCI connector and only see signs of them being inserted once into a system which was probably a QC check at the factory. No mounting screw marks were present on the metal slot plate. The antenna came in what appears to be a heavy factory sealed bag. Mine came with Netgear drivers CDs but the final drivers are also available from Netgear. Haven't tried one on Linux yet but that's my next project since Linux is our best choice for older systems. Wireless N performance is excellent. PCI is a very fast interface and the management software occasionally reported 'N' speeds in excess of 100mbs which is at the limit of my older router. My only concern, and it's minor, is that the adapters do not ship in anti-static safe bags and are surrounded by a lot of plastic packaging. Maybe all the plastic is anti-static and just not marked - don't know for sure. In closing - I really don't see any down side to this offer. The risk of $10 is far outweighed by what you stand to gain. Shipping is very fast. They must mail them out the same day you place your order. Good luck and grab one of these before they are all gone.Read full review

I could have used a bit more in the way of range, but the speed is good. For an older adapter (I use an AC1900 Router), it still does a good job with my internet speed from TWC. Speed is anywhere from 145 mbps to 210 mbps on TWC's 200 mbps cable program. I don't game, so it woks well for me.

Sorry to say it did not work when I fitted to my desk top. Great price if it works. I just got unlucky. However I would still recommend. Good price and shipped on time

It works. Not the best signal but sufficient for the purpose. That and it was cheap.
