USB 2.0 Wi-Fi 6 adapter for desktop and laptop

The LIVINGTHING AX900 adds Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to Windows 7, 10 and 11 computers through a USB 2.0 port. It supports dual-band operation on 2.4 and 5 GHz with a 7.8 inch high-gain antenna for stronger signal reception. The adapter is designed for users whose built-in wireless is slow or missing and who need a simple plug-in upgrade.

Sustained throughput limited by USB 2.0 bus

Although the radio is rated at 900 megabytes_per_second combined across 600 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, the USB 2.0 interface caps real-world throughput well below those figures. Under continuous load the adapter cannot exceed the bus bandwidth, so extended downloads or 4K streaming will run at USB 2.0 speeds rather than the advertised Wi-Fi 6 rates.

USB 2.0 interface and Windows-only driver support

The USB 2.0 connection is the primary bottleneck for any high-speed Wi-Fi 6 traffic. Driver-free installation works on Windows 10 and 11 while Windows 7 requires manual setup. Mac, Linux and Chromebook are not supported, so buyers needing those platforms must choose a different adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the AX900 adapter run hot or draw much power when used all day on a USB 2.0 port?

The adapter plugs into a USB 2.0 port and weighs only 0.041 kg, so its power draw is limited to what the port can supply and it stays cool during extended use.

What operating system must I already have for the AX900 to work without extra drivers?

Windows 10 or 11 will detect and install the driver automatically; Windows 7 needs a manual install, while Mac, Linux and Chromebook are not supported.

Will the AX900 slow down my older 802.11ac router or N300 devices on the same network?

The adapter supports 802.11ax and 802.11ac on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, so it connects at up to 600 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz without degrading older clients.
