Slowed my laptops wi-fi speed down by 70%
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it to use on both a home & work laptop that had ac capability only to match the capability of a new wi-fi 6 ax3000 router powered by a 1gb fiber optic service all working correctly. Downloaded the drivers from the included USB zip on both laptops, installation went perfect with the new WIFI 2 adapter appearing as it should, with the ASUS installed in the laptops USB 3.0 slot. Both laptops download wi-fi speed slowed down with this Asus ax1800 adapter by 70% from 250mb ish with the built-in ac adapter to 75mb ish with this Asus ax1800. Tried a bunch of router & adapter settings, nothing would improved the speed. Had to return it..
