Review: Edimax EW-7811UTC = Winner, winner, chicken dinner! - This adapter is cheap, easy and fast. As with most computer products I ignored the included CD and simply downloaded the driver from the Edimax website. Installation was quick and easy on my Windows 7 system. I connected easily to my Asus RT-AC66U wireless router which is located about 20 feet away, thru 1 wall, in the next room. I am connecting only on the 5GHz band and the EW-7811UTC only supports 1 spatial stream so I am limited to 433Mbps maximum, which is fine for my needs. Unless you are routinely moving multi-gigabyte files around on your LAN, I don't really see a need for more capacity than this. I have used this wireless adapter for downloading files, streaming videos (Netflix, Hulu, desertcart Prime), online MMO gaming, and voice over IP (VOIP). Everything worked flawlessly. You could spend more and get a higher capacity wireless adapter, but really, this is likely all you need. UPDATE 12-15-2015: I have used the AC600 adapter for 10 months in my windows 7 computer and it has worked perfectly. I decided I wanted to upgrade the wireless in my other computer, a windows 10 media PC, from the built-in 2.4GHz wireless g to 5GHz wireless AC. I went to the Edimax website to find out if I needed to download a driver. The website said that the support is already baked in to Windows 10 so no driver was required. I turned off the pc, plugged in the adapter , and rebooted the pc. I then turned off the built in wireless g adapter and switched to the Edimax AC600 adapter in Windows 10 network settings. The adapter is working fine.. I am posting this update because so many people seem to have trouble with this adapter recently and are making sweeping statements about this device's capabilities. My experience has been that this usb AC600 adapter has worked easily and reliably with both my window 7 and windows 10 machines. I will be buying a second one as an upgrade to my media pc. Review: Auto Plug N Play - I have a 17-year-old Dell Optiplex 380 desktop without a wifi card. I ordered this USB stick, plugged it in and installed Zorin OS. Internet appeared automatically and continues with no drops. Highly recommended. ## Features - HIGH PERFORMANCE AC600 USB adapter supports Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac standard with speedy throughput of up to 433Mbps (5Ghz) or 150Mbps (2.4Ghz). - MINI-SIZED USB adapter design is extremely compact and easy to carry, complete with a cap and lanyard hole.

The driver that comes with cd does not work with Ubuntu 14.04. it gives error during sudo make** A: You may have to install the drivers on old Linux kernels. However, it ran out of the box for me on Manjaro running kernel 4.14. When I plugged it into my Linux Mint 19 (Linux kernel 4.15) the Network Manager did not see it. It did show on a lsusb so I started to look for the drivers. While getting ready to install them, it just started working. It also ran straight away on a very old, very small Acer running Peppermint 9, also with Linux Kernel 19. It connects at 150 mbs every-time on every machine and Linux. I plan to buy the dual band version of this. I am very happy with Edimax. **Q: This supports AC 5GHz but only 2.4Ghz for Wireless N? I have an Asus RT-N56U wireless N router that supports 5 Ghz. Will this pick up my 5Ghz N signal** A: I own the ASUS RT-AC66U wireless router that it works fine with. Since my router is dual signal I really don't know if it is working on the 2.4 or 5 Ghz. I would assume it would work since it is a dual band adapter. **Q: Does this adapter require any software other than a standard Windows driver? Like a "Connection Tool" or other program?** A: Dear Dulmes,No EW-7811UTC does not require any software other than a standard windows driver packaged in the CD. Unless you are using Windows 8.1, you have to download the supported driver from Edimax US website. If you have any questions, please email our Live Tech Support Team to "support@edimax.us." We are more than willing to help you with your concerns. Best regards,Edimax Customer Service Team **Q: Does it automatically reconnect to internet when you use stand by, sleep or hybernate mode as well as shutdown or restart your pc ?** A: Hi Harold, yes, EW-7811UTC will reconnect to internet when you use stand by, sleep or hibernate mode or restart your PC. We did not receive any complainant about this issue before.

I ordered this USB stick, plugged it in and installed Zorin OS. Internet appeared automatically and continues with no drops. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First one died after 3 weeks *by P***J on January 8, 2014* First off this little device is quick. It connect to my Netgear R6300 V1 Router at 430Mbps. I'm surprised it's this quick especially since it's only a usb 2 device (USB 2 is capable of 480Mbps that is shared with all of your USB devices). Installation was fairly easy since they included the drivers on a cd. however, to make things easier just go to the edimax website and download the drivers straight from the website. I was using this on a laptop that had an Intel 6230N card. The speed increase was more than noticable and it's more stable as well. ultimately though, the card died after three weeks. Since I got the card from Hometown I only had the options of returning it so I returned it and bought another one. The new one was working before I bought an Intel 7260 which connects at a whopping 866 Mbps and it doesn't take up a usb slot or stick out either. For old laptops and for desktop this is the adapter to go with. For laptops that are up to 4 years old you could probably just upgrade your card to the Intel and get better speeds that way. Overall this adapter is nice to have around the house just in case, but I have already made a new Driver cd with the latest drivers from the website. I suggest you do the same. If my new adapter dies on me again I'll update this review again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Edimax Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac Mini AC600 Dual-Band (2.4Ghz / 5Ghz) Adapter For PC USB Adapter Dongle, Win11 Plug-n-Play, Mac OS, Linux, EW-7811UTC - Edimax Wi-Fi 4 802.11n Adapter for PC N150 Nano USB Adapter, 150Mbps, Smallest Wi-Fi 4 Dongle, Win 11 Plug-n-Play, Linux: Ubuntu/Mint Plug-n-Play for Kernel 5.15 and Above, Mac OS, EW-7811Un V2 - TP-Link Nano AC600 USB Wifi Adapter(Archer T2U Nano)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Transceiver for PC Desktop, Travel Size, Supports Windows (11,10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP / Mac OS X 10.9-10.14) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/436258-edimax-wi-fi-5-802-11ac-mini-ac600-dual-band](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/436258-edimax-wi-fi-5-802-11ac-mini-ac600-dual-band) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
