Compact dual-band USB adapter

The Funcool USB Wi-Fi Bluetooth adapter adds wireless networking and Bluetooth to a desktop or laptop through a single USB port. It uses the RTL8821CU chip and supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac on both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. Maximum link rates are 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 433 Mbps on 5.8 GHz, giving a combined 600 Mbps rating. Driver software is stored on the device for automatic installation on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

Suits driver-free Windows setups.

This adapter works well for Windows users who want a plug-and-play solution without downloading drivers or using a CD. Bluetooth functionality is limited to Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 only; Vista, XP and Mac OS cannot use the Bluetooth feature at all. Mac and Vista users can still use Wi-Fi after installing the driver from the included mini CD or the online link. Buyers who need Bluetooth on macOS, Linux or older Windows versions should look at a different adapter.

Mini CD and AP mode extend usability

A mini CD is bundled for systems that cannot reach the internet to fetch drivers, covering Vista and Mac OS Wi-Fi installation. The adapter also supports AP mode, letting a wired PC share its connection as a Wi-Fi hotspot for phones, tablets or laptops. Two external antennas are fitted to improve signal reception on both bands. No other accessories or software utilities are mentioned in the specifications.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need an available USB port to use this Funcool adapter?

Yes, the adapter plugs into a standard USB port on your PC, laptop or desktop and draws power from that port, so one free USB socket is required.

Will the RTL8821CU chipset in this adapter work alongside an older 802.11n router I still use?

The adapter supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, so it will connect to your 802.11n router on the 2.4 GHz band at up to 150 Mbps.

How can I confirm the Bluetooth function is active after I plug the adapter in?

A blue LED on the adapter flashes when Bluetooth is working; you can also verify the connection in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 Bluetooth settings.
