Compact USB 2.0 Wi-Fi adapter

The Golden Blue RT5370 is a USB 2.0 wireless adapter that delivers Wireless N speeds up to 150 Mbps. It connects laptops or desktops to 802.11 b/g/n networks using a Ralink RT5370 chipset. A rotatable external antenna helps optimise signal reception.

Suits basic wireless needs.

This adapter suits users adding Wi-Fi to a machine without built-in wireless or replacing a failed internal card for everyday browsing and light streaming. Buyers who need dual-band operation, 5 GHz support, or throughput above the single-stream 150 Mbps ceiling should consider other solutions.

USB 2.0 interface limits maximum throughput

The USB 2.0 connection caps the practical data rate well below the 600 Mbps PHY figure sometimes quoted for the interface, making the 150 Mbps Wireless N link the true performance bound. Verify that your operating system supports the RT5370 chipset before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which version should I pick for a laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

This adapter uses a USB 2.0 interface and delivers wireless N speeds up to 150 Mbps, matching the port's capability for everyday browsing and light gaming.

What does the 150 Mbps wireless rate mean when I am actually online?

The 150 Mbps figure is the maximum PHY rate under ideal conditions; real-world throughput will be lower due to overhead, distance, interference and the USB 2.0 bus limit.

What Wi-Fi standard does the RT5370 chipset support and what speed does it cap at?

The RT5370 chipset complies with IEEE 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b, capping the wireless link at 150 Mbps while the USB 2.0 connection handles up to 600 Mbps.
