  • Dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi for flexible connections
  • USB 3.0 interface with USB 2.0 backward compatibility
  • Up to 1167 Mbps combined wireless speed (300 + 867 Mbps)

  • RTL8812bU chipset supports 802.11ac/a/b/g/n standards

USB 3.0 dual-band Wi-Fi adapter

This USB 3.0 wireless adapter adds dual-band Wi-Fi and a Gigabit Ethernet port to laptops. It uses the RTL8812bU chipset and supports 802.11ac/a/b/g/n standards on 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. The built-in antenna handles both wireless and wired connections without extra hardware.

Fits a free USB 3.0 port

Plug the adapter into any USB 3.0 socket; it also works with USB 2.0 at reduced speed. No separate power supply is required. The single device replaces a missing or faulty internal Wi-Fi card and adds a 1000 Mbit Ethernet jack for wired networks. Driver-free operation is claimed for supported Windows versions.

Upgrades from single-band or 100 Mbit Ethernet

The jump is worthwhile when a laptop lacks 5 GHz Wi-Fi or only has a 100 Mbit wired port. It delivers up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz wireless, plus 1000 Mbps over cable. Buyers who need Bluetooth or an internal M.2 slot should look elsewhere.
