Worked right out of the box after installation.
I have a greeting card programme that only works on windows XP. My 25 year old HP laptop hasn't had working wireless connection for around 20 years, I've been plugging it into ethernet so that it would send to my wireless printer. I decided I needed less wires so I bought this and it's accompanying CD rom installed it immediately and works perfectly on my 25 year old windows XP laptop.

Works well.
I bought this for a laptop that has a fault internal Wifi card, and it works just by plugging in with Windows 11, no driver needed. Not tested it for speed/throughput but the range was good enough for my flat.
