Dual band usage instructions:

This is a dual band WiFi dongle,there are something you should know before you make a complaint about speed.

1. You must have a dual band WiFi router with 5G band if you want to have a 5G signal.



2. The adapter's max. speed up to 867Mbps just works when you connect to 5G band, otherwise, it will just run at the max. speed of 300Mbps with 2.4G. Normally, your PC's network speed can't up to the wifi adapter's speed as it depends on many factors, Such as the network size，router, barriers, laptop or PC 's internal memory...



3. If your computer is desktop, speed is not ideal, you can try to insert the WiFi adapter into the USB3.0(blue) port of you PC, that may guarantee the power supply.



4. This WiFi adapter will not boost the speed of original router, it just transmit the wifi signal.



5. If your WiFi adapter is closed to the router, and you want to have fast speed in watching video and playing online games, we suggest that you should connect to the 5G band. If your WiFi adapter is far away from the router, and you just want to surf the website, you’d better connect to 2.4G band for better and stable signal.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a TV
Answer:	According to the Realtek web page for the RTL8153 device it supports Jumbo frames up to 9k. Whether the OS you are using has Jumbo frame support or not enabled is a different matter.
Question:	Does this unit support raspberry pi os
Answer:	The single most important thing to ask when looking at questions of speed is "where is the bottleneck"? If, for example, you're concerned with speed between your computer and the internet, the slowest part of a home user's connection will almost certainly be what's provided by the ISP (be it cable, DSL, satellite, or whatever); typically between 4 Mbps and 20 Mbps in the U.S., but often worse.Ethernet typically comes in one of three speeds: 10 Mbps (pretty uncommon these days), 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps ("Gigabit ethernet").USB 3's fastest speed is 5 Gbps. USB 2's fastest speed is up to 480 Mbps.Thunderbolt 1 is nominally 10 Gbps; Thunderbolt 2 is 20 Gbps.(It's a little more complicated because of channeling, and because the ports may be shared by other devices, etc., but you're not likely to go far wrong with the above numbers.)So, if you're working with a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps ethernet network, or if all you care about is your internet speed - it really doesn't matter what adapter you choose: even an ethernet/USB2 adapter plugged into a USB2 port has at least 4X the capacity of your network (or internet connection).If, OTOH, you have a gigabit-ethernet LAN and you want to work at speeds up to 1 Gbps, you can use either USB 3 or any version of Thunderbolt. Though Thunderbolt itself is (at least) 2X the speed of USB 3, neither one will give you a speed greater than your LAN's limit of 1 Gbps.But if you use a USB3/ethernet adapter, remember that the above guidance is only relevant if *both* the adapter *and* your computer's USB port are USB 3. If either one is USB 2, you'll be limited to USB2's 480 Mb/second.
Question:	Is the antenna removable, can i attach my own antenna, what kind of connector (sma
Answer:	Read the reviews on this page: http://www.ianker.com/product/A7611011#ptop you will find some that talk about the disconnections. Some say it will not run with Windows 10 and others say it will not run at gigabit speed and if you try to configure it at gig, it constantly restarts.

Answer:	Feels and sounds like aluminum.
Question:	Does this wifi adapter work with the new Tivo mini lux
Answer:	Unfortunately, no. The spacing is too close on the USB-C connectors on the Macbook Pro. But if you have a standard USB-C (Apple power cable) it will work next to the Anker adapter.
Question:	Can i hookup directly to television

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work in a USB 2.0 slot
Answer:	Some confusion to the answer. 1. Yes on USB 2.x support. 2.USB 3.0 is 1.5gb / 3.1 is 5gb. 3. USB 2.x is 480mb. Now here is where the mad science shifts. First what is your ISP modem DSL / Cable or something else speed. Simple test would be to run an ethernet cable to your modem, and go to speedtest.net. This will test your line speed. Once completed you will have a download / upload speed results and yes this is in mbps. so say 20mbps = just 2.5 megabyte per second, (device bit divided by 8). From the modem to the router to your machine, no matter what adapter you have your internet speed cannot go above the speed test results. If you buy an AC router you have potential to talk up to 1100 mbps to anyone within the house network, but speed will fall to the slowest allowable speed on the internet. In this example 20mbps. We call this the bottleneck where potential and reality do not jive. Many WIFI standard from older to new. a-54mbps, b-11mbps, g-54mbps, n-480mbps, ac-800-1100 mbps. Getting a newer WIFI stick is good for the OS and better drivers, and may provide some speed, but the speed comes from optimized drivers and OS not the hardware you will never be faster than the bottleneck speed on the network. Did you know that the difference between uppercase and lowercase in showing speed indicates whether were talking Giga / mega bytes/bits. Capital indicates BYTE and lower BITS. 8 bits to one byte.
Question:	I have a dual band router and my laptop cant connect to the high speed 5GHZ band, will I be able to connect to the 5GHZ band with this
Answer:	This supports both dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, so yes (as long as you plug it in to a USB 3.0 slot. A standard USB 2.0 slot is not capable of handling 5 GHz speeds)
Question:	I have a upstairs room that is far enough away that I can not pick up my wifi. Would this help in getting me connected
Answer:	If my experience is a predictor of yours, then yes. This worked perfectly for me. I have a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk router (AC1900) downstairs and could not get a consistent or fast connection before. This pairs perfectly in the far end of the over-garage room and now I have an extremely stable and fast connection.
Question:	Is this more compatible with Win10 than their 6200 model(Which they don't want to support
Answer:	I wish I had seen this thread. Install fails with Windows 10. The support page for NetGear, having to do with Windows 10, does not list this model among Win 10 compatible WiFi adapters. Mistaken purchase by me, it turns out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have beam forming technology
Answer:	This device is compatible with anything that has a usb port to plug it into and an active wifi connection. It was produced in 2012 and has to be able to upload the driver to your device either through a cd ( provided) or a search engine. I'm no ps4 expert but if your game meets these requirements it should work but it's not really plug and play. It will need configuring once it is set up. I have all new equipment and still never made this work real well for me. I haven't spent much time on it though. Results are different for others depending on the device and the wifi connection. The price is right but just keep in mind that the technology is 8 years old and will require some patience to set it up
Question:	Can i connect this to a usb 2.0 port on my laptop to get gigabit internet wifi speeds as i have gigabit internet at my home
Answer:	Hi, not sure about the 360. Though not apples-to-apples, I tried this on our Xbox One S for you (unplugging the LAN and trying to get the external wifi adapter to activate rather than built-in console wifi) and the One S did not recognize the adapter at all. You may be better off buying a wifi range extender than includes a LAN port so you can connect your wifi to the extender then run the ethernet cable from the extender to your xbox 360.
Question:	Will this work for consoles like ps4 or xbox
Answer:	Linux drivers (tar.gz source) are provided on a disc that comes with the adapter so you may have luck. Did not work for me for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS possibly due to the documentation that comes with the driver stating the driver was only tested/confirmed working with Linux Kernel up to 4.8 and my Kernel is newer than that.
Question:	I have a upstairs room that is far enough away that I can not pick up my wifi. Would this help in getting me connected
Answer:	No
