DO NOT BUY THIS
Awful. I have a 3 year old laptop that i was trying to upgrade to Wifi 6. Every other device that i have can get approx 500mbps download speeds via ax. I can even get 60mbps download on this. Even if i put the laptop next to my router it just doesn't work. No way they can claim this is wireless ax. I should have paid attention to all the disclaimers on the asus website before i bought this. It's not my wifi or my computer. Its this piece of garbage. I wish i still had the box so i could return this and buy something else. Pictures speak for themselves.

Poorly designed, doesn't perform up to specs.
Nowhere near the speeds it should be. I was having some issues with my built-in WiFi, but none with a TPLink AC1300 (Archer T3U) adapter. I thought this would be a good upgrade for me. I have enterprise-grade WiFi APs from Ubiquiti. I'd read that some people said this one wasn't performing as it should, but I thought it might just be operator error or a couple bad ones. Unfortunately, after installing, I too had these woes. My download speed ranges from 100-150mbps with this adapter on gigabit internet while my upload speed ranges between 8-55mbps. When I switched back to the TPLink, I went to ~200d/260u. I also noticed that this device was quite warm to the touch, unlike all the other USB adapters I've tried. I suspect that it may be overheating, which at least partially causes the issues.

Buyer beware. Wifi 6 price with 802.11N performanc
Bought this because I wanted to convert a older laptop to wifi6. And it keeps the Asus tradition alive. Over priced and extremely underperforming. 2 feet away from a Nighthawk CAX80 this gets a blistering 200Mbps down. The Intel 9560 was getting 920Mbps down. Save your money don't waste your time. Tested in a USB 3.1 and 3.2 port and speed's we're never higher then 250Mbps. Significantly slower then AC and much less range.

I cannot say I have any problems. It does it's job! It's straight plug and play!

Way better than WiFi that came with Lenovo Laptop
My wife's Lenovo laptop was having a hard time staying connected to my ASUS RT-AX58U AX3000 WIFI 6 AiMesh network. Wow, that's a mouthful. I decided to give this adapter a try. I downloaded the driver from ASUS website 1st. Plugged in the adapter. Installed driver. Gave it a test. Speed wasn't the best. I then disabled the built in WiFi adapter that came with the laptop and saw much better speed. It is a little pricy at $50, but I'm happy with the results.
