USB 2.0 dual-band adapter

This USB 2.0 dual-band Wi-Fi adapter adds wireless networking to a desktop or laptop through a standard USB port. It supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n and 802.11 ac standards across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The built-in dual 2 dBi antennas provide a combined transmission rate of 600 Mbps, split as 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 433 Mbps on 5 GHz. It suits users who need a simple wireless upgrade without opening their case.

Replacing internal cards or older dongles

The adapter replaces a missing or faulty internal wireless card or an older single-band USB dongle limited to 2.4 GHz. The jump is worth it when you need 5 GHz support for less congested channels and higher throughput up to 433 Mbps on that band. It also helps when a device has no free PCIe or M.2 slot for an internal upgrade. Buyers who need more than 600 Mbps aggregate throughput or a USB 3.0 interface should look elsewhere.

Check USB port version and driver support

Verify that your system has an available USB 2.0 or backward-compatible USB 3.0 port for the connector. Confirm that your operating system includes or can obtain drivers for IEEE 802.11 ac hardware. Ensure the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges (2.412–2.4835 GHz and 5.12–5.825 GHz) are permitted in your regulatory domain. The adapter draws power from the USB bus, so no external supply is required.

Questions about this item

What USB port version does this adapter need?

It plugs into a USB 2.0 port and draws power from it. No external supply or driver disc is required.

How do I get the 600 Mbps link rate on the 5 GHz band?

Connect to a 5 GHz network using the 802.11 ac standard; the 433 Mbps stream plus the 2.4 GHz 150 Mbps stream combine to the rated 600 Mbps.

Can the built-in 2 dBi antennas be replaced if they lose sensitivity?

The dual antennas are integrated and not user-replaceable; if reception degrades, reposition the adapter or use a USB extension cable for better line of sight.
