It also lost more connection speed than any of the TP-Link or Netgear adapters, though it still performed better than the laptop alone. But perhaps because this is an AX1800 device—slightly slower than the competing AC1900 units—those advantages didn't translate into faster speed at a distance. We strive to exceed your expectations and be your go-to online destination for all your household needs. At one point, I was getting a higher speed in my office than right next to the router, which was probably because of how other people in the house were using the internet. This will depend on the coverage of 5G in your area, which is constantly growing but only really available in urban areas right now.

better signal at 5GHz than the laptop alone, which was better than the Archer T3U but worse than the other TP-Link and Netgear adapters.

The USB dongle ships with a user manual in English mainly explaining how to install the driver when connecting it to a Windows 10 computer. Type: network card; Weight: 26g; Transmission rate: 150Mbps; USB: Standard USB interface; WiFi: Support IEEE802. The introduction of 5G mobile broadband means a dongle is now a serious alternative to fixed-line home broadband. In my tests, those two locations were in my office (bad speeds) and by the elevator (really bad speeds). Here's how all of those AC numbers in that range translate into potential speeds on the two main Wi-Fi frequency bands: 2.

It's nearly twice as expensive and, although it offers good performance, the T9UH is still very competitive. WiFi routers and DSL modem routers can both provide network connections and have the same functionality, but there are some differences. So, I focused on the signal strength and the speed loss when moving the laptop quickly from one location to another.To provide high-quality household products that enhance the comfort, convenience, and functionality of every home. At Lavieron, we believe that a well-equipped home is the foundation for a happy and fulfilling life. It appears it’s not quite as good as my phone(s) connecting to the network when the signal is a bit weak. I’ve moved to another house now where the cellular signal strength is much higher (96%), and the dongle works fine (10Mbps download/upload) as a mobile hotspot.
