Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters AC600 Dual-Band USB Wireless Adapter - Improved WiFi Adapter for Windows and Mac with Advanced Wireless AC Technology by Roderick Reynolds

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as well as you would expect from a USB Wi-Fi dongle.

Downloaded drivers from a separate computer to a USB drive and installed the drivers from the USB drive to the computer (I included the adapter for disc). Works as well as you would expect from a Wi-Fi USB dongle. I went from 30Mbps when connected to the rear I/O ports to 65Mbps when connected to the top I/O port. For comparison, my 2011 MBA shows 120Mbps when tested alongside. So there's about half the available speed available, but again this is a USB card versus an internal Wi-Fi card.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • No insurance
