Revainrating 4 out of 5

Long range without sacrificing signal strength and stability!

I originally bought this Wi-Fi adapter to replace my old EdiMax AC1200 Wi-Fi adapter which I bought over 5 years ago. This Wi-Fi adapter served well for indoor computer use, but it didn't have enough range to help me when I was living in a friend's RV on a friend's driveway that I signed up for from my computer in a Class C RV The router at my friend's house was about 25 feet or so. I needed a solution that would provide long range without sacrificing signal strength and stability. For example I hadn't even heard of the type of antenna used in this particular product but when I read the antenna installation specifications I was blown away! I knew then that I needed this antenna assembly, like the one that comes with this product, but finding a reliable product at a reasonable price was key. A few days later I found this Wi-Fi adapter which I am writing a review for here. I found decent reviews and the price was pretty attractive compared to the competition, so I bought it. A week later it came in the mail. The box contained a USB dongle, 2 detachable antennas, an extension cable/docking station and a driver disk. I connected everything, installed the drivers and ran the tests via Speedtest.net. The internet I was using at the time was 100/10 speeds and with this Wi-Fi adapter I was finally able to get those speeds without any interruptions, even in weather conditions while I was 25 feet away! My previous WLAN adapter, for example, could only work 10/5 at best and always broke the connection. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a long range solution, especially if your computer is far from a router. The device worked as expected, the drivers were flawless, everything was neatly packaged and the product has a pretty professional finish. The only change I would like to make to the product to make installation and maintenance easier is to make the dock cable detachable. In general, I highly recommend it! I will definitely recommend it to my friends who need a decent Wi-Fi adapter.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • So far so good
