What this adapter does

The OURLINK AC600 adds dual-band Wi-Fi to a desktop or laptop through a USB 2.0 port. It connects at up to 150 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 433 Mbps on the 5.8 GHz band. The REALTEK chipset handles 802.11 ac traffic and the SoftAP feature lets the adapter create a hotspot from a wired connection. It is suited for everyday browsing, email and HD video streaming.

Check your ports and drivers first

Verify the computer has a free USB 2.0 Type-A socket; the adapter will not fit Type-C without a separate hub. The package includes a setup CD, so an optical drive or another machine is needed to extract the driver if the operating system does not install it automatically. Ensure the target router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz networks to use the full speed range.

Heat, noise and power in daily use

The tiny black dongle draws all power from the USB bus and has no fan, so it runs silently. In normal operation it stays barely warm to the touch because the USB 2.0 interface limits throughput to 600 Mbps aggregate. No external power brick is required and the adapter does not add audible noise to a quiet workspace.

Questions about this item

Does the package include everything needed to install the adapter, or must a driver disc be purchased separately?

The box contains the AC600 network adapter, a setup CD with the user manual, and a quick guide, so no extra disc is required.

Should I choose the 2.4 GHz band at 150 Mbps or the 5.8 GHz band at 433 Mbps for my use case?

Use 2.4 GHz for basic tasks such as email and web browsing, and switch to 5.8 GHz for heavier loads like HD video streaming.

What does the 600 Mbps headline speed mean when the adapter is plugged into a USB 2.0 port?

The 600 Mbps figure combines the 150 Mbps 2.4 GHz and 433 Mbps 5.8 GHz rates; actual throughput will be limited by the USB 2.0 interface.
