ASUS USB-AC68 Dual Band Wireless AC1900 USB Adapter, USB 3.0, 2 x External Adjustable Antenna with Stand MIMO, 3T4R, AiRadar Beamforming, Backward Compatible with USB 2.0 and 802.11 a/b/g/n Standard

Bought this to replace a TP-LINK T4UH AC1200 wifi adapter which was starting to really underwhelm - with wifi dropouts that you can only fix by pulling it out and plugging it back in, half-arsed windows 10 drivers and an army of fellow buyers online with similar issues.I'm on Virgin's superfast 200mbps fibre package, and with this adapter paired with my TP LINK Archer C9 AC1900 router - the 5 GHz band refuses to drop below 217mbps. The connection is damn reliable and the drivers feed through the Windows 10 wifi notification icon to save you a mighty headache with unneeded wifi connection software. They also work flawlessly with Windows 10 !!!My router is located on the ground floor of my house, and my PC is in my room on the first floor - with plenty of electronics between and around the two. The 5 GHz band is phenomenal, with speed-tests through Ookla giving an average of 218.01Mbps Down and 12.20Mbps Up.For comparison, the 2.4 GHz gives an average of 94.17Mbps Down and 12.27Mbps UpMy ping sits around a constant 9-10ms.My TP-LINK adapter would often reach upwards of 200mbps 5 GHz speeds but dropout after half an hour or so, with large variations in speed and signal strength. With this adapter I get constant full signal icons on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands through windows 10.In terms of looks - this adapter looks morelike the marker from Dead Space or something from the new DOOM game than it does a piece of wifi kit. It's also big and bulky for a USB stick, but you feel as if the size and long antennas are what gives the adapter an advantage over other smaller usb dongles. Personally, I think it looks rather cool in it's cradle and think Asus have done a tremendous job with this adapter.I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering with frustratingly poor wifi stability and speed - and who have ac functionality present in their router. The impressive 5 GHz speed is more than worth the higher price tag - and this is a tech category that you especially don't want to cut corners with.

Asus USB-AC68 is a truly high-performance USB wireless adapter. It is really fast and stable, unlike some other USB based wireless adapter I tried in the past. The performance and consistency is top notch. I am truly impressed by what this device is able to do. I highly recommend this for those looking for a high-performance USB wireless adapter. It may be a bit pricier but to me, it certainly worth every penny for what it offers. It is stable and it works really well. If you need a fast wireless AC connection and a PCIE solution such as the PCE-AC88 is not possible, get this wireless adapter. You will not be disappointed.

My Lenovo laptop has been struggling with our wifi network and diagnosis suggested the drivers +/- network adapter were at fault. Nothing worked so I chanced the creation of a second wifi network through the installation of this piece of kit. Firstly, the installation guidance was absolutely accurate but close enough that you can be confident it really is properly installed - but, because it gave a bit of trouble I give four stars as fractions don't work! Instantly, I had wifi networking very close to the router LAN network connection to the internet. The signals no longer mysteriously stop - stability is rock solid.So, worth every penny - it occurred to me that I could equally install it on my old desktop PC to give it wifi. Just an idea if anyone else finds themselves in that circumstance. I have learnt to relax, knowing my surfing and website maintenance won't suddenly die.

First pleasant surprise - the product is a lot more solid than I anticipated from the photos. The arms (and the rest) are very well built and stable. I half expected to find it easy to knock over and susceptible to easy breakages.Second pleasant surprise - it was very easy to set up and connect. Despite all the promises from many items, I have generally found any wifi or router products to take more IT knowledge than I have to actually get them set up.As expected - it is powerful and fast. I can tell the difference between its speed and a cable but it really is good - even on large downloads like films or games.Third - and not pleasant - surprise. The wifi kept dropping out and taking some time and often manual intervention to come back up. I should say I on WIndows 10 which isn't supported yet but which, as other reviewers have said, does seem to work fine. My wifi on several other products works fine and was not dropping at the same time so the router isn't the issue.I tried searching for solutions to the problem - nothing I could find on this specific product but plenty on other usb wifi receivers. Unfortunately for me, I really can't get my head round most of the suggestions since my IT literacy simply isn't good enough.Anyway, I am a few days in and the problem seems to be reducing so fingers crossed it will be OK. Assuming that is so, it is a very good product.

I use my pc for work and gaming every day, its on for 12 hours a day at least.Easy to install - remember to put the disk in first and plug in the usb dongle when it says, setup around 5 minutes.Speedtest score - 259mb down, 21mb up when in the room above my router with virgin 300 broadband at 10:30pmDivision 2 and Counter Strike - no lag or ping spikesIt's big to carry around, as tall as an iphone 5s and a 3rd of the width when folded upIt's expensive but worth it

Med den perfekta mottagningen av WiFi signalen så blev min dator betydligt snabbare

Diverse andere goedkope oplossingen geprobeerd. Deze doet wat het doen moet, maar dan zonder snelheids-dips en verlies van verbinding. De prijs is stevig, maar wat is de prijs van constante ergernis als het niet werkt...WiFi is nooit zo stabiel als een vaste kabel verbinding, maar deze doet het wel erg goed!In gebruik op een PC die een verdieping hoger staat dan de router en de snelheidstests van de internetprovider zijn gelijk aan of soms zelfs beter (!) dan mijn PC op de kabel met 1 Gigalink.

J'ai un grand appartement (160m2) et avec la fibre le débit est difficilement disponible dans chaque chambes.J'utilisais des Devolo 1200 et j'étais assez content du débit (30Mb dans les chambres en download), j'ai voulu essayé le wifi avec des AP Orbi.Grand bien m'en à prit car avec ces cartes USB Wifi uc65 je suis maintenant dans chaque chambres à 450 Mb de download, le ping étant le même (6-7ms) sur les serveurs de tests.Les perfomances sont au top, la facilité d'installation aussi, à voir quelle sera la fiabilité dans le temps de ces adaprtateurs wifi...

Por motivos laborales necesitaba un adaptador inalámbrico que diera fiabilidad y estabilidad a mi conexión. El router está a una distancia aproximada de 7-8 metros del ordenador y tiene que atravesar 2 paredes. Compre un adaptador de marca “blanca” y la conexión se me caía bastante algunos días en cortos intervalos de tiempo. Llevo 2-3 semanas con este adaptador y no se caído en ningún momento. Además, la conexión va como un tiro.La instalación es muy sencilla.Quizás sea un poco caro en comparación con otros adaptadores pero, en mi opinión, merece la pena.

Acquistato per essere usato con un HTPC collegato ad una TV Sony. Lo sto utilizzando da diversi giorrni e non ho riscontrato alcun problema di connessione caduta. Unico consiglio è quello di installare i driver di ASUS e non lasciare che Windows, nel mio caso Windows 10, installi da solo, in quanto, almeno nel mio caso, la chiavetta non funzionava. Facendo uno speedtest ho riscontrato valori pragonabili all`ethernet, con pig di 1ms superiore, ovviament colelgato in 5 GHz, nonostante il mio router non sfrutti AC1900 o la tecnologia MIMO. Nello scambio di file tra due PC (uno in ethernet e l`altro con tale chiavetta) ho registrato 38 MB/s di punto, con un 36 MB/s di media. Anche consultare i file nel pc o vedere film in streaming è molto rapido nel buffer. Anche se questo dipende molto da tipo di routr posseduto (nel mio caso un Fritz!Box 7490). Provato anche con TeamViwer, pc molto reattivo e veloce. Surplus non da poco la basetta, non è altro un estensione usb 3.0, la quale consiglio l`utilizzo in quanto la chiavetta è davvero pesante e se la si tiente sempre attaccata richiate di rovinarre la presa USB del PC in questione. Preciso che le antenne non sono rimovibile, ma si chiudono su se stesse. In conclusione, consiglio l`acquisto i nquanto la qualità è davvero elevata. Ne ho provate diverse, ma qui siamo su un livello superiore, dato anche dal costo maggiore della media di chiavette WiFi USB, con ping e velocità nello scambio di file o consultazione degli stessi supiore
