Costs money! suitable for networking products

I received the adapter within 2 days of purchase and it was great. I plugged it into a USB 2 port on my old Dell M6400 laptop and then tried loading the driver from the minidisk that came with the adapter. My DVD player/recorder just slides in, no drawer so I couldn't use the mini CD. Luckily there was a newer version of the driver on the EDIMAX site so I downloaded and installed it, restarted my laptop (required) and wow-lah, it connected to my 802.11ac router with no problems. Speed was onlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

UPDATED: WORKS WITH MAC OS 10.14, UBUNTU, DDWRT BUT SPEEDS SLOWER THAN 802.11N

Works but very crappy software driver and support. You can get it to work, but the speeds aren't as advertised. See below. Updated Review: Remember this is USB 2.0 so there is a speed bottleneck even when connected to 802.11AC. Claimed speeds are ".to". 300 Mbit/s at 2.4 GHz and 866 Mbit/s at 5 GHz. On a 2012 MacBook Pro with Mojave 10.14 I get 173.5 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 144.4 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. For comparison, when I use the built-in Wi-Fi, which is 802.11n, I get 217Mbps on 5GHzโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

Hmm, could be better

(This review is for the Edimax AC1200 EW-7822ULC adapter) Note. This device is the same as Asus USB-AC53 Nano. Edimax makes both devices and they are essentially the same device. I went with Asus drivers instead. I also tried the Edimax drivers which appear to be the same. Given my experience with wireless devices, I expected this device to not perform as well based on the tests I ran on it. But it was a little worse than I expected. In this review I will mention TX and RX. TX is the signalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
