Review on Edimax 2-in-1 Wi-Fi 4 802.11n N150 + Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 4.0 Combination Adapter - 150Mbps, Windows, EW-7611ULB by Deejay Devarashetty

Very slow on new routers

Context: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on my Surface Pro 3 suddenly stopped working one day. Tried all possibilities, nothing helps. Contacted Microsoft and they said they could give me an exchange for $450. No way. I need a USB device that offers WiFi and Bluetooth and is relatively small. Then I find it. It's only about the size of a wireless mouse dongle and offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth without a bulky antenna. This is the smallest 2-in-1 wireless bluetooth adapter I've found. Connecting to my Surface Pro 3 has minimal impact on portability. (Although it occupies the only USB port that the Surface Pro 3 has, the fault lies with Microsoft. ) It's not just plug and play on Windows 10 (Anniversary Edition), I can only get about 1Mbps or even less and the connection is unstable. It's useless. All of my other devices are working fine, so it's unlikely the router is to blame. It's possible that the new dual-band WiFi is somehow interfering with Edimax and causing this problem. I've tried contacting Edimax support and tried the settings they provided but no blocking. I really want this device to work, but it doesn't.
