Compact 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4 adapter

The Plugable USB 2.0 Wireless N adapter adds 802.11n connectivity at up to 150 Mbps using a Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset. It is designed to upgrade older computers or replace a failed internal wireless card. The nano form factor keeps the device almost flush with the port.

Check Windows version and USB port

Driver downloads are provided for Windows 7, 8.x, 10 and 11; Windows RT is not supported. Windows 10 and 8.x install the driver automatically when another active network connection is present, while Windows 11 includes the driver. The adapter is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 ports.

Nano build stays out of the way

The tiny housing protrudes only slightly from the USB socket, reducing the risk of accidental damage on a laptop or desktop. It operates on 2.4 GHz only and does not support 5 GHz networks. Windows 11, 10 and 8.x do not allow the adapter to create a Wi-Fi hotspot in ad-hoc mode.

Questions about this item

Does the nano adapter need any extra cables or a driver disc to work with Windows 10?

The adapter plugs directly into a USB 2.0 port and installs automatically on Windows 10 and 8.x when another network connection is active; Windows 11 includes the driver already. No cables or discs are required.

Should I choose this 150 Mbps model or look for a faster version?

This model provides up to 150 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band using Wi-Fi 4. If you need 5 GHz support or higher throughput, a different adapter would be necessary.

Will I actually see 150 Mbps throughput on my desktop?

The 150 Mbps figure is the maximum PHY rate on 2.4 GHz. Real-world speeds are lower due to overhead, signal quality and network congestion.
