Review on TRENDnet TEW-649UB Mini USB 2.0 Adapter - Ultra-Fast Wireless N 150 Mbps by Alvin Yau ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

The task was to distribute the Internet from the router to the old laptop with a TP of 60 Mb / s. The WiFi adapter built into the laptop no longer supports the N standard, and the numerous wires stretching to it are very annoying - I want to minimize their number as much as possible. Both the router and the laptop are in the same room. For such a task, this adapter is just the perfect solution! At a distance of 2 m, the connection speed is 270 Mb/s with a channel width of 40 MHz. Of my 60 Mb/s given out by the provider, I easily have 52-60 Mb/s to download without wires.

Pros
  • Full support for IEEE 8022022n. Supports MIMO. Supports WMM. Miniature size - when connected to a USB port, it creates a not too big lever, which reduces the likelihood of breaking it, and in general it is much more convenient. Ease of installation and use. Very democratic price.
Cons
  • Low sensitivity compared to full size adapters - far away networks are not even visible. It shines quite brightly in the dark with a blue LED - sometimes it can be annoying. The transmission speed is lower than the reception speed - 150 and 300 Mb/s, respectively (these are not real bandwidths, but connection speeds). But such asymmetry is a common design feature of probably most, if not all, adapters.

In any case, for such money - a good device (before that there was a dlink - there is something to compare with)

You can buy if the wireless network is organized within a radius of 5-7 meters, then you have to do something with the antenna at the access point.

I like it, I did not regret it when he just went out to spend 770 on it.
