    Great speed

    Great speeds but will overheat if it’s placed at the back, and make sure you got proper ventilation

    Well worth it!

    Great product. Easy to use. Reasonable pricing. My Wi-Fi card died in my computer, in the middle of a project (of course). I needed a quick fix. This was the perfect fix and I didn't have to leave my computer with a tech for three days. Well worth it!

Questions & Answers
  • I had bought this adapter and have had nothing but problems. It would randomly disconnect from my internet for a moment. It would reconnect after I manually reconnected it. Now it does not connect to anything at all. It shows all networks but won’t work.

    To resolve the random internet connection issue, please ensure the PC has access to a stable and working internet connection and it is getting an excellent signal to the wireless router. Also, verify if the USB port is working properly and the PC is running with the most current OS update and the driver for the network adapter was installed. Driver is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/adapters/all-series/usb-ax56-nano/helpdesk_download?model2Name=USB-AX56-Nano.
