Review on ASUS USB-N13 Wireless-N USB Adapter with Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates - IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 by Amit Rajput ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

Installed under Win 7, while only the driver is installed from the disk. The disk included is already designed for Win 8-10. If anyone needs to use the access point mode in Win XP or 7, you need to download from the office. site utility, and it also contains drivers and they are forced to be installed over the installed ones. The utility allows you to manage both the adapter mode and the access point, but there are not many connection settings. I read in the bowels of the documentation that when using WPA with TKIP encryption, the N13 speed is forcibly limited to 45 Mbps, so if anyone has a low speed, pick the settings. After several experiments with two routers (D-Link 655 and TrendNet-651), the best stability and speed was achieved when connecting via WPS without manual intervention. Although it was not possible to really raise it above 130 Mbps. Does not heat up and does not break the connection.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Large: covers the adjacent USB connector. The kit (version B1) no longer includes a USB extension cable
