I've got good news and bad news for you

If you're thinking of buying this you probably should, it's a piece of junk and you'll be happy with it. Yes, you got me right. If you're looking at this, you've come to the right place. Most of these Wi-Fi adapters use the Realtec 8812 chip (you'll see it as rlt8812 if you look). They are literally all the same whether you pay $14 or $150. Here at Revain, $14 is about the same as what you'll be going for, a little less, and you'll probably end up with something weird. If you look around you will see AC600 model names and so on, many of them look almost the same, some might have a fancy case, packaging or name. Don't let that fool you, except that you're more likely to buy one or the other at a very tight price. Adding antennas doesn't help much, more flashing lights don't matter. Many will judge such things, but the price or the body, and in this situation, none of that matters. advantages of this model. It has an RLT8812 chip (which is the standard these days) so it's very easy to set up on newer Windows and you most likely won't need any additional software. It has a good antenna. It only takes one to talk to your router and the one it has works fine (5-6dB I think). Some of them run on the same board and chip and have a tiny built-in antenna.

Pros
