Find Best Price at Amazon"I have a Linksys EA7500 router that’s capable of 1300 AC speeds as well as a RA6500 extender capable of 867 AC speeds, so the speeds promised from the EDUP AC 600 adapter are certainly possible on my network. I think that’s fairly remarkable since the adapter is one floor down and about 20 feet away from the router, and on the same floor, but about 30 feet away from the extender in a nearly 3,000 SQFT house. Recommend if you’re running windows 10 or 7 that you let windows search & install the drivers and that you use the windows WLAN management utility instead of the klunky Realtek utility on the disk."
"After doing this I kept getting make errors, but dug through the included documentation a bit and found that the driver was optimized for kernel 3.16. I switched to this version of the Linux kernel (if you don't know how then Google it for your distro) and the install script ran smoothly and I was connected to my WiFi network soon after."
"My laptop's wireless can only connect to the 2.4 ghz spectrum and recently I was having a lot of intermittent connection problems, and the average speed was from 6-20Mbps. I realized it was only the 2.4 ghz connection that was experiencing problems when I tested the speed and connectivity on my phone which connects to the 5ghz network."
"I run Windows 10 with this adapter and I recommend this to anyone looking for a high performing adapter."
"I had used another usb based wifi adapter without an antenna which pooped out on me within a few months of use."
