Review on High-speed USB WiFi Adapter: Long Range, Stable Signal, 1200Mbps, Dual Antenna, USB 3.0, 2.4G/5G, 802.11ac, for Windows, Mac, Linux by Craig Walters

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive WiFi upgrade

Installed on desktop and laptop. There was no Wi-Fi on the desktop. The laptop scored 30MB on the Google Speed test from the opposite side of the house. Although Wi-Fi through this antenna can operate completely separately from the laptop's Wi-Fi, I found performance was best when both antennas were active. Wi-Fi through this external antenna is completely separate, but Windows 10 mixes the signal very well. There was no Wi-Fi on the desktop until I added it through this antenna. The Realteck driver installed easily on both Windows 10 boxes. The utility has the added benefit of showing the channels that I and everyone else in the area is using, allowing me to confirm that I was using one channel while the other not used. The driver adds another application to the Windows utilities, making it easy to use and manage.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Some maintainability
