What to know before buying

The stated 5400 Mbps is an aggregate advertised rate across bands, not a single-device speed guarantee. Customer feedback also describes variable speeds and occasional disconnections, so results depend on the connection and setup.
The listing specifies Windows 10 and Windows 11. Customer feedback mentions problems with newer Mac OS systems, so this is not a suitable choice to assume Mac compatibility for.
Customer feedback reports mixed experiences with connection consistency and some durability concerns. These are reported experiences, not established defects.
The 6 GHz band and its advertised rates require a compatible Wi-Fi 6E network. The source does not specify all setup or regional conditions for using that band.

Mac users seeking confirmed compatibility, as the supplied listing names Windows and customer feedback flags Mac compatibility problems.
Buyers expecting guaranteed 5400 Mbps real-world throughput or uninterrupted connectivity.
