    Patience Yields Results

    This is a very fussy device to initially set up, but with patience and persistence, it does work well and connects at high speeds. The cost is higher than many others, but I wanted a top performing Wi-Fi adapter. It matches the brand of my mesh router, so I expected a more seamless setup, but that was not the case. It was challenging to get my computer to recognize the device and get the driver installed correctly. If you plug into any USB port other than USB 3.0, it will make you want to question your life decisions. Once we finally got it plugged into the correct USB 3.0 port and figured out the best Wi-Fi connection settings, it worked at basically the same speeds as being hardwired to Ethernet connection.

Questions & Answers

  • What's the monthly fee

    There is no monthly fee for a network adapter. But so its clear the adapter does not provide the internet service itself. It's an external network adapter like the one you'd find in your phone or tablet. It allows a PC to connect to a network.
