  • It turns itself 2 or 3 times a day
Style: AX1800 USB WiFi 6 Adapter
This a good Wi-Fi connecter however you should know that it will turn itself off 2 o3 times every day. However, all you need do is go into the Wi-Fi connections and turn it back Easy to do but it's a pain in the button. If I had to buy another one, I would get a different one.

  • World's First Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter Has Its Issues
Style: AX1800 USB WiFi 6 Adapter
As an IT pro of 15+ years, I'm always excited to be on the forefront of the latest technology. I jumped on the Wi-Fi 6(ax) bandwagon last Christmas and have been encouraging others to do the same in order to future proof their in-home wireless experience. Fast forward to Holiday season 2021, and we are now getting our first Wi-Fi 6 USB adapter which will make adoption rates to the new standard much more appealing with a simple plug and play solution. Gone are the days of drivers on discs. I simply plugged in the device and it popped up similar to when you plug in a thumb drive with a setup.exe to install the drivers for the device. I was connected to my D-Link DIR-X5460 Wi-Fi 6 router within minutes and immediately began running some speed test to put it through it's paces. I always use multiple testing sites (speedtest, speakeasy and google fiber) using an internet connection of 600mbps down/10mbps up. On my initial run, my speed results were coming in about ten percent slower than my other Wi-Fi 6 devices all in the same room near my router (but still much faster than my built in WiFi-5 card I have in my laptop) I was sort of shocked and disappointed with my initial findings but I ran a second series of test just to make sure the first run wasn't a fluke. I'm happy to report the second series of tests performed right on par with the other Wi-Fi 6 devices in my house. I also observed that sometimes, the adapter wanted to connect at the older 2.4 GHz radio instead of the 5Ghz radio which had me disconnecting and reconnecting several times in some case to catch the right radio that provides the best performance. To be fair, my One plus 8 phone also does this occasionally so it could be an auto negotiation issue between devices and my router. I'm glad it comes with a stand as the adapter itself is fairly bulky compared to similar devices. While you can plug it directly into your computer, it would most certainly be blocking other ports you would need to access right beside it. $70 is the hefty price tag you would expect for the first of it's kind product which may be hard to justify when you could easily find comparably performing Wi-Fi 5(ac) equipment at a fraction of the cost. If you already have a good Wi-Fi 5 setup, I would certainly hold off on devices like this until A)The new 6E devices are available and B) More companies start offering Wi-Fi 6 USB adapters which should drive the cost to the consumer down in due time. But if you already have a Wi-Fi 6 router, a legacy device using Wi-Fi4(N) or slower and cash to spare, this is best solution on the market to bring you up to date. Pros: -First Wi-Fi 6 USB adapter on the market -Easy to install (drivers are right on the adapter itself) -Can provide blazing speeds when configured optimally -Comes with it's on stand Cons: -Expensive -Bulky (without the stand it will certainly block other ports) -Performance inconsistencies (Dropped it down another star due to this) ... show more

  • A usb wifi 6 adapter that actually works and performs
Style: AX1800 USB WiFi 6 Adapter
Night and day performance from my previous usb wifi 5 adapter I was using; because of our mesh network setup, I could not get great performance from the previous usb wifi 5 adapter. That is why I decided to buy this wifi 6 usb adapter and it has made a significant improvement in speeds and stability. Browsing on the internet is responsive, no lag, and we use cloud based workstation so this has helped me have better signal and performance at work. I bought a different no-name wifi 6 usb adapter from Amazon that was useless. So, I highly recommend sticking to this brand name wifi 6 usb adapter. ... show more

  • When working it does it's job just fine
Style: AX1800 USB WiFi 6 Adapter
This product worked great for me for the first 5 months of use, getting me download speeds on most practical applications of around 50/mbps but then it suddenly started dropping in and out, (not a router issue) and eventually gave out completely refusing to connect to any networks. I troubleshooted the issue and did not just basic steps but advanced techniques to get it working but to no avail so when I wound up contacting support I was amazed to learn that they charge an outrageous $50/a month to just talk to an agent. Can certainly say this was a waste of both money and time and I will not be buying from D-Link again. ... show more

  • Bought this to work on Linux Driver
Style: AX1800 USB WiFi 6 Adapter
This device comes with a Windows driver on a USB disk image that shows up when it is mounted. That part has not been tested, nor has the Windows driver. I downloaded a Linux driver and cleaned it up a bit. It is available at GitHub in project lwfinger/rtl8852au.git. Connected to the 5G of an AC1900 AP over a 480M USB3 connection, the driver supports 300 Mbps up and down and is very stable. All in all, this is an excellent wifi6 device. Work is in progress to make an in-kernel Liinux driver, but no promises on when that will be available. ... show more
