What to know before buying

The listing gives a 2402 Mbps rate for 5 GHz and 574 Mbps for 2.4 GHz. These are stated wireless rates, not a guarantee of real-world throughput. The listed 2402 Megabits Per Second data transfer rate is not clearly identified by band or context.

Listing details to confirm

Customer reports are mixed on stable connections, signal strength, driver installation and compatibility. The listing identifies Windows and a Windows 10 minimum, while feedback also mentions Windows 11 compatibility disagreements. Check support for your exact system, especially if using Linux, and confirm driver setup needs.

Positive themes

Some customers report strong speed, including speeds above 100 Mbps.

Negative themes

Some customers describe unreliable operation and recurring disconnections.
Some report poor signal or Wi-Fi performance.

Mixed feedback
