  • TypeUSB Wi-FI Adapter
  • Dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz flexibility for less interference
  • Up to 600 Mbps combined throughput for faster transfers
  • Realtek RTL8811CU chipset delivers stable signal performance

What it is

The TAURKENAM USB Wi-Fi Adapter adds dual-band wireless networking to laptops, desktops or projectors through a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. It uses the Realtek RTL8811CU chipset to deliver up to 600 Mbps combined across the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands.

Suits and limits

It suits users who need a compact adapter for Windows 10 through XP, Mac 10.4 to 12.5, or Linux systems and want WPA/WPA2 security. It does not suit buyers who require higher throughput than 600 Mbps or support for newer Wi-Fi standards beyond 802.11ac.

Deciding specification

The single figure that decides fit is the 600 Mbps maximum link rate split into 433 Mbps on 5.8 GHz and 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. If your router or use case demands faster speeds, this adapter will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed can I expect from the 600 Mbps rating on the 5.8 GHz band?

The 5.8 GHz band tops out at 433 Mbps under ideal conditions; actual throughput will be lower due to distance, walls and router capabilities.

Does the USB 3.0 interface limit the 433 Mbps link speed in practice?

USB 3.0 provides far more bandwidth than the 433 Mbps wireless link, so the interface does not cap the adapter's maximum speed.

How much space does the mini dongle need beside a laptop USB port?

The compact design sits almost flush with the port, leaving room for adjacent connectors on most laptops and desktops.
