USB 2.0 802.11n adapter for desktops and laptops

This EN-Labs wireless adapter adds Wi-Fi to any computer with a USB 2.0 port. It supports Windows XP through 11 and Mac OS, making it suitable for older and current systems alike. The driverless design means it works immediately on most platforms without extra software. It also creates a soft access point to share a wired connection.

Realtek RTL8192 chipset with 300 Mbps 802.11n speed

The adapter uses a Realtek RTL8192 chipset to deliver up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band under the 802.11n standard. It falls back to 802.11g rates of 6 to 54 Mbps and 802.11b rates of 1 to 11 Mbps. Security support includes WEP, WPA, WPA2 and both PSK variants for protected networks.

5 dBi antenna on a USB 2.0 dongle

A 5 dBi omnidirectional antenna is built in to improve reception compared with internal laptop antennas. The device draws power from the USB 2.0 bus so no external supply is needed. Soft AP mode lets the dongle turn a wired Ethernet link into a Wi-Fi hotspot for other devices.

Questions about this item

What does the 300 Mbps figure mean once the adapter is in a real machine?

The 300 Mbps is the maximum PHY rate under IEEE 802.11n at 2.4 GHz. Actual throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead, channel conditions and the USB 2.0 bus.

Which USB standard does the adapter use and what does that cap in practice?

It uses USB 2.0, which limits sustained data transfer to the bus maximum. The 802.11n link can negotiate up to 300 Mbps, but the USB 2.0 interface governs the real-world ceiling.

What does the adapter physically need to fit or mount?

A free USB Type-A port and space for the 5 dBi omnidirectional antenna, which protrudes from the dongle body. No bracket or internal slot is required.
