ASUSUSB-AC53 AC1200 Nano USB Dual-Band Wireless Adapter, MU-Mimo, Compatible for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/1/10, Black

Like a few other comments pointed out, I don't understand the negative reviews this has received. It does run a little warm, but beyond that it works flawlessly.First, be sure you understand the ports on your computer and the limitations of older hardware. If you plug this into a older USB port, you will be limited on speed. It works just fine on the USB 3 port I use.Second is to be sure to use the Asus driver, not Windows; though I will say Win10's generic AX driver did a decent job before I upgraded to the Asus.You can generally tell the difference between USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 by color alone. While the size and shape may be identical, the key is to look at the color of the plastic inside the device. The USB 1.0 features a white plastic color, while USB 2.0 is black, and the USB 3.0 is blue.USB 1.0 only had a data transfer speed of 12 Mbs, but was later sped up to 480 Mbs.USB 2.0. 3.0 and 3.1 have since improved upon this speed by bringing it up to 5 Gbs and 10 Gbs, respectively. Note you will never reach those max speeds on any USB device as it is benchmark values, not real world.Also regarding data transfer, the USB 2.0 and older models are only capable of processing data in a single direction at a time, but newer 3.0 and 3.1 models allow for data transfer in both directions. This means that data can be sent and received simultaneously. The speeds above are shared totals, not each direction at the same timeTo understand more Google for yourself about USB and the difference between Mbs/MBs and Gbs/GBs.In sum, this product connects to my WiFi 6, and is just as fast as my other WiFi 6 clients on the network from similar distances.I plan to get another one.

Item works well.

Just got this yesterday so I’ll update the review if I experience any issues later on. So far it seems to be working great. I bought this for my Asus gaming Pc because the original WiFi adapter decided to croak on me. This one is literally plug and play friendly. Just make sure you disable your current WiFi adapter in your network settings before plugging this one in. That way there is no interference.The signal range is not as great as I would have hoped but even with 3/4 of a full signal I am able to get my high speeds and no connection drops. If you’re getting this for gaming, you’ll have nothing to worry about. Only reason it’s not getting 5 stars is because of the range could be better.Side note: my phones WiFi seems to be a bit better than this one. I’ve tried Speedtesting both my pc and my phone and I get different results every time. Not sure why that is but good with that speed. It’s more than enough for what I need.Phone- (205mps)Pc- (168mps)
