The Realtek RTL8812BU USB3 Wireless Adapter works great, is easy to install and is great value for money!

Realtek RTL8812BU USB3 Wireless Adapter works great and is very easy to install. That means I just plugged in the antenna that comes with the USB3 WiFi dongle and connected it to my 7 year old Dell XPS 8700 desktop PC. My Windows 10 system recognized the adapter and boom, it was ready to use. It comes with a small driver disk; However, I didn't have to use it. Windows automatically found and installed the drivers. In Device Manager, I disabled the existing built-in Wi-Fi adapter, which only works on a 2.4 GHz band. The Realtek adapter detected my available networks and I connected to 5GHz. Complete the "Google Internet Speed Test” and download speeds are now more than 5x faster. Download speed is about ten times faster. {Download speed around 300Mbps and upload speed just under 200Mbps} Another nice feature is that the dongle with attached antenna can be plugged into a vertical or horizontal USB port and takes up very little space. Extremely easy and very inexpensive upgrade! Highly recommended!
