Review on Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Dual-Band USB Adapter: Compact, Portable, and Powerful, 📶 Enhancing Streaming and Download Speeds on PCs/Laptops with 11AC and 11n Wi-Fi Connectivity by Jero Fontaine

I was a little nervous about buying it because the price was so low compared to the competition. I'm glad I took the risk. I am using this PC with Windows 8.1 and it took me a few minutes to go to the website and download the drivers. The website was very user friendly and took a lot of the stress out of finding drivers like other big companies do. This doubled my laptop's speed to 2.4GHz (only the band my laptop supports). I got about 19-20 Mbit/s. Downstream on a 50 megabit connection via WIFI. After tweaking this setup I was left with around 40-45Mbps, which is about as close as I'll be connecting to a wired connection over WIFI, and couldn't be happier. I have also tested this on Windows 7 and Ubuntu computers. with about the same results, very happy to buy a few more of these. When it comes to design, I really like the small factor, most of the competitors are long and chunky and just a nuisance. Edimax has the perfect size and all the power. I was surprised that in such a small form factor it had WPS support, which comes in handy when you have a long WiFi password. Only downside is the flashing blue activity light after a while, it gets annoying, I just put a small sticker on it so it's not a big deal. In conclusion, I recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable, reliable dual-band adapter.
