No 2500Mbps max speed 873Mbps

I bought this because I upgraded to 2GB Google Fiber and my old adapter only allowed 1GB. I downloaded the driver and it loaded correctly but the amber light didn't change to green and the speed is still under 1GB. The wavlink website does not provide help for this product.

Pros
  • USB network adapter
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
