EN-Labs 150Mbps USB WiFi Adapter 5dBi Antenna USB 2.0

SKU CH-W982-52SZC

Adds 150 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with a 5 dBi antenna and soft-AP hotspot mode via USB 2.0

  • Driverless setup saves time with no software installation required
  • Up to 150 Mbps at 2.4 GHz via 802.11n for faster wireless speeds
  • 5 dBi high-gain antenna extends range and improves signal stability
  • Soft AP mode turns a wired connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Works with Windows XP through 11 and Mac OS for broad compatibility

Simple USB wireless upgrade

The EN-Labs adapter adds 802.11n Wi-Fi to any desktop or laptop through a standard USB 2.0 port. It delivers up to 150Mbps at 2.4GHz and includes a 5dBi omnidirectional antenna for better reception. No driver installation is required on supported systems. It suits users who need basic wireless connectivity without opening their computer.

Replaces missing or broken internal Wi-Fi

This dongle upgrades systems that lack a wireless card or have a failed onboard module. The jump is worth it when running a cable is impractical and you only need 2.4GHz coverage for web browsing, email or light streaming. It will not satisfy users who need 5GHz band support or speeds above 150Mbps.

Fits any USB 2.0 port and creates a hotspot

Plug the adapter into a free USB 2.0 socket on Windows XP through 11 or Mac OS and it works immediately. The soft AP mode turns a wired Ethernet connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot for other devices. WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption keep the link secure. It frees you from relying on built-in wireless hardware.
