  • Very good long-range performance, Excellent industrial design, USB cradle
  • Much slower than the Asus USB-AC56 at close range
  • If you need to connect just a single client, such as a laptop or a home-theater PC, to your 802.11ac network, a Wi-Fi client USB adapter is much cheaper than a wireless bridge. Netgear's A6200 is one of the best....

  • Abstract:  We recently started to test wireless adapters due to our more automated test process. So we are able to rip through a bunch of 'em pretty quickly. Since 802.11ac is all the rage and you don't really get a big performance benefit from an AC router without ...

  • While the Netgear A6200 didn’t perform at the top of our speed tests, it was very robust when comparing it to legacy WiFi devices. For those looking for an easy way to upgrade their computers to 802.11ac, this is certainly a solid choice. ...

  • Supports 802.11ac.
  • Unimpressive throughput. Buggy software. Puzzling design
  • While Netgear has a decent 802.11ac router in its R6300, its 802.11ac adapter suffers from poor performance, buggy software, and a clunky design....

  • When we first saw that the NETGEAR A6200 was a USB 2.0 device we were concerned about performance. After all there is a limit to how much data you can push through a USB 2.0 port. Sadly this limit is below what 802.11ac is capable of. We were glad to see ...

  • If you're running an 802.11ac Draft 2.0 router, you have a laptop, and you want the fastest possible wireless connection to your network, Netgear's A6200 is a no-brainer. It's also a great choice if you're looking to connect just one wireless PC to yo...

  • Abstract:  If you need to connect several wired clients to your 802.11ac network, you should set up a wireless bridge. If you have just one client—especially a laptop, or maybe a home-theater PC—Netgear offers a better, cheaper alternative: Plug its A6200 USB Wi-Fi ...

  • Needless to say if your laptop is stuck on older WiFi technologies than the A6200 will definitely improve your connection but given the price of around $80AUD, we do find the product a little on the expensive side. The device is also backward com...
