Review on Edimax 802 11Ac Dual Band Adjustable EW 7822UAD by Don Santos

Revainrating 5 out of 5

highest reception quality and stable throughput

This has to be one of the best AC1200 adapters I've used in terms of range and consistency of signal strength and throughput. I haven't had any issues with 2.4GHz or 5GHz unless it's a small form factor, but the large antenna is definitely a reason I bought it for the extra range and bandwidth to my Raspberry -Turn the Pi into a real music server in 4b (with a special board with optical output) Installing the drivers was a bit tedious on Raspbian OS, but the instructions on the Edimax forums were pretty easy to follow. Realtek RTL8812BU chip, it ran smoothly, no crashes with these particular drivers

Pros
  • USB 3.0 WITH ADJUSTABLE HIGH GAIN ANTENNA improves Wi-Fi reception, amplifies the transmitted signal and can be easily adjusted vertically and horizontally for flexibility.
Cons
  • Almost OK
