The WiFi connection was not that great and on VPN it was even worse. This also means I have to connect to my internet via WiFi. During the winter, I like to move my work area up to the guestroom where it is a little warmer. I plug my computer directly into the router when I am working down there. My WiFi router is in my office in the basement. More and more of the new whole home Wi-Fi systems are broadcasting one SSID for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz and this adapter makes sure you are using the faster band available.Speed, this is a AC450, it connects reliably at 433 Mbps for network transfers, which is close to USB 2.0's transfer rating of 480 Mbps, so if you have USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 on your system, stick this in the USB 2.0 port and save your faster USB 3.0 ports for other things.Cons: Obviously will not work with a 802.11N 2.4 Ghz only router.Shorter range because it is 5 Ghz only instead of being able to switch to 2.4 Ghz that can connect at longer distances from your router/access point.
This is actually a plus as it helps in troubleshooting because it can't switch to 2.4 Ghz at all. You can leave in all the time on an average to bigger sized laptop and it won't get in the way.Works in 5 Ghz only. I downloaded the windows 10 drivers from the website and plugged in the USB adapter and installed the drivers only.Pros: Nano sized, think about the same size as a Logitech Unifying Receiver USB adapter. It was no longer working that well and was having an especially hard time staying connected to newer AC Wave 2 routers. Replaced the built in 2.4 Ghz only 802.11N Wi-Fi in a Lenovo gaming laptop about 4 to 5 years old.
