USB 2.0 Wi-Fi 4 nano adapter

The TAURKENAM USB 2.0 Wi-Fi 4 nano adapter adds 802.11n wireless connectivity at up to 150 Mbps to a desktop or laptop. It uses the Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset and operates on the 2.4 GHz band only. The tiny form factor leaves adjacent ports free and suits older computers or a broken internal wireless card. It is not for buyers who need 5 GHz support or higher throughput.

150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz only

The adapter delivers a maximum link rate of 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz networks and is backwards compatible with Wireless G and B equipment. It connects through a USB 2.0 port and also works with USB 1.1 sockets. Performance drops at longer range or through walls, and the single-band design cannot access less congested 5 GHz channels. It is not for environments that require dual-band operation.

Driver support and hotspot limits

Windows 11 includes the driver natively; Windows 10 and 8.x install it automatically when another network connection is active, while Windows 7 users download it separately. Windows RT is not supported. Ad-hoc and infrastructure modes are available, but Windows 11, 10 and 8.x prevent the adapter from creating a Wi-Fi hotspot. It is not for users who rely on the host computer to share its internet connection wirelessly.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 2.0 interface and 2.4 GHz band work with my older router that only supports Wireless G?

Yes, the adapter is backwards compatible with Wireless G/B networks and USB 1.1 ports, so it will connect to an older router over the 2.4 GHz band at up to 150 Mbps.

How can I confirm the Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset is active after I plug it into Windows 10?

Open Device Manager and look under Network adapters for the Realtek 8188 entry; a solid or blinking LED on the nano body also shows the radio is transmitting.

Does the package include a driver disc or must I download the software for Windows 7 separately?

No disc is included; Windows 10, 8.x and 11 install the driver automatically, while Windows 7 requires a download from the manufacturer's support site.
