I have used three other wireless adapters in this room, a tiny 150Mbps nano receiver, the built in ASROCK wireless card on my motherboard and an old Zyxel usb G adapter and this outperforms all of them at least 2:1.ĭefinitely recommended. Reckon it would easily exceed that closer to the router but I haven't tried. I was using a powerline adapter and the wiring in house means most sockets get a throughput of around 20Mbps :-( it won't be long before our rural broadband can outperform that! This adapter gives 140-160mbps in the same room and real world file transfer speeds of 8MB/s in Windows i.e. That said, I get full signal strength in one of the worst signal areas in our 70's bungalow, so the aerials make a difference. Its a bit bulky like a large flash drive with aerials stuck on it. I used a front usb port as the aerials seemed to work best fully extended and this would get in the way on the back in this configuration. Plugged this in under Windows 8.1 (64 bit) and installed automatically, connecting and running in a under a minute, doesn't get any easier than that!
