Review on πŸ“Ά WAVLINK AC650 Dual Band USB WiFi Adapter: High Gain Antenna, Windows/MAC Compatible by Mark Kolipano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION!

[AC600 Dual Band USB Wi-Fi Adapter - No Antenna]TLDR; I'm happy with the purchase, but it's cheap for a reason! It's safe to buy but read my helpful review. When you first plug it into Win10, it behaves like a miniature flash drive, but behaves like a 7MB (not GB) floppy drive with a Windows driver. Do that! 1) COPY (do not cut) the entire content. 2) Create a new folder on your desktop. 3) Name the folder "Wavlink USB Driver" or similar. 4) Paste the copied content into this folder. 5) Keep this folder in a safe place. Once the device driver is installed, you will no longer be able to access those files on that particular device. It reappears on another computer that has not yet installed the driver. You never know if something is going to happen that the device may still work but the memory dies and you lose your drivers. MEIN REASON 4 STARSI could not find the serial number anywhere in the packaging. I couldn't find the model number on the box either. After installing the driver, if you look at the connected USB devices, I see a Realtek 8811CU, but there's no clear indication as to whether it's a model number. If you go to a website and look for their driver, there is no clear indication of which driver you need. ATTENTION MAC USERS! Only the Windows driver is included and you will need to download the macOS driver from the website, but good luck finding which one. I'm pretty sure it's there, but you'll probably have to contact support to find out which one you need. Most of us don't have that much patience. SUMMARY I wanted something really cheap and it looks like a good mid-range key for very cheap! Revain couldn't sell something like this cheaper without losing money and it was exactly what I was looking for.
