Compact USB 3.0 dual-band Wi-Fi adapter

The Take Two Archer T3U adds AC1300 dual-band wireless to a desktop or laptop through a USB 3.0 port. It supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks with MU-MIMO for a more stable connection. The mini form factor makes it easy to carry and leaves adjacent ports free. Drivers cover Windows 10 back to XP and Mac OS X 10.9 through 10.14.

The USB 3.0 interface is the deciding factor

This adapter needs a USB 3.0 port to reach its rated throughput; on USB 2.0 the link will be limited to the slower bus speed. Buyers whose machines only have USB 2.0 ports will not see the performance the hardware can deliver. No internal antenna connectors or external aerial mounts are provided.

Questions about this item

What does the AC1300 rating mean for real-world speeds on this adapter?

AC1300 is the combined theoretical maximum across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; actual throughput depends on router capability, distance and interference.

How does the USB 3.0 interface affect the AC1300 throughput?

USB 3.0 provides up to 10 times the bandwidth of USB 2.0, removing the bus bottleneck so the adapter can approach its rated AC1300 link speed.
