AC1300 USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapter for desktop PCs

This USB 3.0 Wi-Fi adapter adds dual-band wireless connectivity to a desktop computer. It supports Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) with a maximum link rate of 1300Mbps. The adapter is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 10 and Mac OS, making it suitable for older and current systems alike.

Check your USB port and driver needs before ordering

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 interface and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports. Windows 10 supports plug-and-play operation, while other listed operating systems require a driver installation from the supplied CD or an online link. Verify your system has an available USB port and matches the supported OS list.

Dual 5dBi antennas extend wireless range

Two external 5dBi high-gain antennas rotate 360 degrees to optimise signal reception and transmission through walls. The USB 3.0 interface provides up to 10 times the bus bandwidth of USB 2.0, reducing a potential bottleneck for the 867Mbps 5.8GHz and 400Mbps 2.4GHz wireless links. WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption secure the connection.

Questions about this item

Does the SMA AC1300 adapter include a driver disc or must I download the software separately?

A driver CD is supplied in the box; the online link can also be obtained from that disc if you prefer to download.

Should I choose the 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz band for the highest throughput on this AC1300 model?

The 5.8 GHz band delivers up to 867 Mbps while the 2.4 GHz band tops out at 400 Mbps, so use 5.8 GHz for maximum speed.

What does the 1300 Mbps rating mean when the adapter is plugged into a desktop PC?

It represents the combined theoretical ceiling of 867 Mbps on 5.8 GHz plus 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz; actual throughput will be lower and depends on router capability and signal conditions.
