I needed to move my old desktop computer to another part of the house. The desktop was firmly connected to my router. When I searched Revain for a wireless USB range extender, I found this one. I plugged it in and it was immediately recognized by my desktop. The range was strong. This worked the same as a hard connect to the router. The seller sent promptly. All in all it was a great experience. I highly recommend this product.

Okay first the drivers on Brostrend were out of date, I got the latest drivers for the Realtek 8812au chip (which this adapter uses) on the Realtek official website found . After updating to the latest drivers, the operation is smoother and less abnormal. I use a 25 foot USB extension cable. At first I was disappointed that I didn't feel like I had an improved connection. After configuring the "Beam" settings in the wireless adapter properties in Windows Device Manager. I was able to get 4 out…

After making some changes to the computer settings, this wireless USB network adapter is working fine. It has excellent WiFi speeds and a very good range. If your USB network adapter keeps disconnecting from the network, you need to make some changes to your system. These system settings are not included in the instructions, but should apply to all USB network adapters. 1) Set the power saving mode of the WLAN adapter to "Maximum performance" in the power options. 2) Also set Suspend setup to…

Something is wrong with this product. After many network monitoring tests, I have come to the conclusion that only one of these antenna adapters actually works. Both antennas are OK, but only one plug is active. That might not matter much if it weren't for the fact that the only working antenna connector has a terrible signal. That's about three times worse than my laptops with built-in Wi-Fi cards. Less than ten feet from my router, the signal strength is 90dB+ (regardless of the orientation…

Bought because I was worried the other adapter would lose connection. Followed the installation instructions. The software minidisk was cracked and unusable so I went to the website, downloaded the software, burned it onto a flash drive and proceeded with the installation. The connection manager would loop and not let me connect to the network. Uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times. Same result. I emailed the companies (they are based in China with no apparent US presence). A few hours later I…

Good to Set a record - Wi-Fi operates on two frequencies, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. 2.4 GHz = longer range and slower, 5 GHz = shorter range and faster. Wi-Fi is governed by IEEE 802.11 standards. The 1200 Mbps in the product name is based on the 802.11AC standard, which UNITES the speed of all frequencies on which a radio device can operate. It doesn't do it simultaneously, it's either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. That's why the product description says "WLAN speed 867 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz WLAN band or 300 Mbit/s…

We have two PCs Moved to a different room than our router and wanted to connect them to the router wirelessly. The laptop had its own built-in WiFi, but the desktop required a wireless connection. We found this BrosTrend AC1200 unit more attractive than the half-price whistle adapters because it would be difficult to fit them behind a desktop PC with its cables (power, video, keyboard, etc.), and besides, I wouldn't place them the antenna in a good reception area. This BrosTrend AC1200 was…

Summary: After I updated the drivers (with Windows update) and restarted the computer, the internet speed was much faster than the internal WiFi card in my laptop. . I've been using it for a few days now and will update the post if I have any more problems. I live in a big house and my main work station is far from my router. I have a powerful router (AC3200) and used the 2.4GHz channel to get the best speed over long distances. However, I had connection problems on my workstation. I was about…
