Found in PC WORLD's website, unfortunately only noticed that the code networking10 still works after I made the payment!!!! The price without the code is £19.99!

Would this work if connected to an Android tablet (via an OTG adaptor), to improve its WiFi?

Not unless there an android driver knocking about for it!
Ordered this, thanks. Last step before I plump for the devolo 1200+ (£160!!!)

Never heard of that being possible. As above, would need to be drivers available.
If your not getting a good signal, you would be better getting a better router or a wifi extender. What are you trying to achieve?

I've bought the Asus AC-55 and it keeps on dropping in connection. Urgh.
Also can't connect to the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, is WIDI only compatible with intel 7260ac on desktop? Can't seem to find a cheaper alternative.

I have a old computer which doesn't have WIFi. I use a Belkin usb stick and connect to Internet, can someone tell me if this will connect to Internet on my PC what does this do? Thanks

It'll be the same as the Belkin but with faster tech (the 'ac' and 'USB3' bits of the title). Not worth getting unless your router is also 'ac', and you have a spare USB3 port (blue socket instead of black)

Hi I ordered the Asus online from PC World and received Order Confirmation and it says I will get another email when the order is processed. What does that mean because when I checked again it shows its out of stock please help thanks.
