Good cheap alternative to well-known brands

Key points: Wi-Fi Good reception (however, connecting to BLE can cause delays) BLE Good reception Install drivers before installation if you don't have a drive bay Consider using a V -Form 45 degrees for best reception (ymmv, check with ping router) If you are updating your WiFi due to a weak connection, you should run ping tests. You can adjust and check the antenna that gives the best reception given the interference in your facility. This requires knowledge of the ping command from the command line, but can improve performance significantly. Since many users reported their high speeds, I was more interested in the sync performance. Keep in mind that each user has different timings and my slightly slow timings do not reflect the potential of this adapter. I investigated how speed is affected by using BLE. The attached photos show when the device is connected to the adapter via Bluetooth it almost doubled my average latency from 8ms to 14ms (both tests over a 2.4GHz WiFi connection). This isn't a deal breaker by any means, but it's something worth noting if you're one of those users looking to expand their reach AND use BLE. I didn't bother to test an external BLE adapter, but I expect it has significantly less impact than using the included adapter. about 45 degrees, with the antennas naturally closing (forming a perfect V) around this angle.
