## Overview

The ASUS USB-AX56 WiFi 6 USB adapter delivers ultra-fast dual-band 802.11ax connectivity up to 1800 Mbps, featuring an external antenna for stronger signals and WPA3 security for safer networks.

## Description

The WiFi 6 standard delivers efficient connectivity that meets the demands of the growing number of connected personal and IoT devices. The USB-AX56 USB adapter gives your laptop or PC an instant plug-and-play upgrade to WiFi 6. Disclaimer: Actual data throughput and WiFi coverage will vary from network conditions and environmental factors, including the volume of network traffic, building material and construction, and network overhead, result in lower actual data throughput and wireless coverage.

Review: Windows 10 didn’t recognize the device first time I plugged in, but after I installed the software from Asus website it worked great. I’m not aware of any bloatware. I ran some speed tests on my home 1 Gb Ethernet Wi-Fi network and the result is expected for USB 3.x and 802.11 ax adapter. The performance is slightly lower than a PCI express 802.11ax adapter, but it’s convenient and if you run out of PCI express slots. The build quality is great as expected from Asus. There’s ventilation and probably heat sink to handle the heat from high speed network. Updated, 9/14/22: It still works great with top speed for Wifi 6 speed. I benchmark it and it's close to 1Gbps speed. Be careful though, you have to push the top of the adapter all the way down to the base for it to work perfectly. If it's not all the way down, the device might be very slow to connect and operate at less than half the normal speed.
Review: I have a compact PC mounted to the rear of a monitor and the Wifi reception was just abysmal in a room where the signal needed to go through 2 doors. I was able to stream 4K videos smoothy once I added this dedicated USB Wifi adapter. Note that you'd need to first install the bundled drivers (they show up on an external drive when you plug this in). I'm running Windows 11.
