EDUPAC600M USB WiFi Adapter for PC, Wireless USB Network Adapters Dual Band 2.4G/5.8Ghz Wi-Fi Dongle Antenna for Laptop Desktop Compatible with OS Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP -Black

This is an alright dual-band adapter. Installation was very easy. Literally plug-n-play. Packaging and shipping was good and even arrived earlier than expected.I would have to say the most startling thing about the adapter is its size. It's pretty small. Like 2 inches or so. As a result, you might not get the full signal strength as a larger adapter. Still, it pulls in the local Wifi hotspot good enough that I can use that being roughly at least a half mile away which gives me the option of using that should our home service go out. The #1 reason for wanting this.As far as speed, it's alright, but I'm disappointed it's not faster in some respects. For example, on our 2.4G modem/router unit, it's like the speed caps out at 42 Mbps. Fast enough, but my 12+ year old single band adapter reaches into the low 60 Mbps range. Using the 5G band on the nearby Wifi hotspot results in a similar experience, less than stellar sometimes but still quite good enough usually. The best performance this adapter gets is on our Belkin dual-band router we have attached to the modem. On that it gets upwards of 80-82 Mbps speeds, which is nice for gaming and streaming.No idea why the 2.4G speeds are so low when the connection is capable of nearly double that. I can only surmise it could be the antenna size or perhaps location. As far as drivers, the adapter worked fine after plugging in and letting Windows do its thing. I also tried the latest reference drivers off the RealTek website as well as getting the actual latest package for this adapter from the EDUB site which I'm currently using as it has some nice features built in. With the speeds I mentioned above, all the speeds were relatively the same regardless of drivers used.Overall I'm satisfied with the product and intend to keep it. If I ever did decide to upgrade to a larger antenna model, then this will make a great backup or a great adapter for my old laptop. So yeah, it does what it says it does, just don't be startled by it's small size. It does work. The only knock I'd give it is in reference to the lower than expected speeds/signal, but otherwise it's fine and I've been using it for both streaming and gaming with success.

I’m upstairs and the router is downstairs. I legit run my online business and stream music for hrs. and this little guy makes it all possible! Very simple installation as well. I’m not tech savvy at all when it comes to WiFi and networks. I had no issues.

I bought this for my Win 7 machine.Their install program didn't recognize the OS, although the description says it does.However, I opened up the Network and Sharing Center, clicked Add a Connection, and it was seeing my wifi router.I logged in and it's working.The performance is 5 but I gave it 4 because of the confusion over installation.Also, the install program is 68MB, so I wonder if something else is going on.

Worked perfectly, allowed us to get our old computer up and connected to the wifi very quickly.

Works well with a Beagle Bone Black and FPP (Falcon Pi Player) version 8.5.1. Just a note, the WiFi logo on the unit does not illuminate blue. I thought I had a defective unit at first, ordered 2 more, and the others are like that as well. Has detachable antenna in which you can purchase an extension cable to relocate the antenna if need-be.

Worked till it didn't. Doesn't hold up to 5G very well

Like the title says, it was a super easy install and gave wifi to a non wifi PC which was great. The driver downloaded itself and updated. The speeds are just par. Make sure you keep your chipsets updated as well in your device manager because I honestly thought mine didn't work at first but after manually updating those via device manager, it worked and worked good! Not AMAZING but not bad at all!
