USB 3.0 AC1200 Dual-Band Adapter

The SANOXY AC1200 is a USB 3.0 wireless adapter that adds dual-band Wi-Fi to a desktop or laptop. It connects via a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cradle with a 3.8 ft extension cable for flexible antenna placement. The device supports IEEE 802.11 n/ac standards and WPS, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security. It is a new component for upgrading older systems or replacing a failed internal card.

Ideal for USB 3.0 ports needing 5 GHz

This adapter suits users with an available USB 3.0 port who want 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band or 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz for 4K streaming and gaming. It works with Windows XP through 10 and Mac OS 10.4 to 10.12.5. Buyers using only USB 2.0 ports will not reach the rated throughput. Systems requiring internal PCIe installation or newer macOS versions should consider a different solution.

867 Mbps 5 GHz via USB 3.0 cradle

The single specification that decides fit is the 867 Mbps 5 GHz link rate delivered through the USB 3.0 interface and cradle. This throughput requires a USB 3.0 host port and an AC-compatible router. If the host limited to USB 2.0 or the network runs only 2.4 GHz, the adapter cannot reach its rated speed.

Questions about this item

Which band should I use for the highest throughput on this adapter?

Use the 5 GHz band for up to 867 Mbps; the 2.4 GHz band tops out at 300 Mbps.

What does the AC1200 label mean for real-world transfer rates?

AC1200 is the combined theoretical maximum of both bands — 867 Mbps on 5 GHz plus 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz — not a single-link speed.

Does the USB 3.0 cradle remove the bus bottleneck for the 5 GHz radio?

Yes — USB 3.0 provides up to 10× the bandwidth of USB 2.0, so the 867 Mbps 5 GHz link is not limited by the host interface.
