Review: Works Perfectly - Like a few other comments pointed out, I don't understand the negative reviews this has received. It does run a little warm, but beyond that it works flawlessly. First, be sure you understand the ports on your computer and the limitations of older hardware. If you plug this into a older USB port, you will be limited on speed. It works just fine on the USB 3 port I use. Second is to be sure to use the Asus driver, not Windows; though I will say Win10's generic AX driver did a decent job before I upgraded to the Asus. You can generally tell the difference between USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 by color alone. While the size and shape may be identical, the key is to look at the color of the plastic inside the device. The USB 1.0 features a white plastic color, while USB 2.0 is black, and the USB 3.0 is blue. USB 1.0 only had a data transfer speed of 12 Mbs, but was later sped up to 480 Mbs. USB 2.0. 3.0 and 3.1 have since improved upon this speed by bringing it up to 5 Gbs and 10 Gbs, respectively. Note you will never reach those max speeds on any USB device as it is benchmark values, not real world. Also regarding data transfer, the USB 2.0 and older models are only capable of processing data in a single direction at a time, but newer 3.0 and 3.1 models allow for data transfer in both directions. This means that data can be sent and received simultaneously. The speeds above are shared totals, not each direction at the same time To understand more Google for yourself about USB and the difference between Mbs/MBs and Gbs/GBs. In sum, this product connects to my WiFi 6, and is just as fast as my other WiFi 6 clients on the network from similar distances. I plan to get another one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Wireless
*by Z***R on March 19, 2019*

This is more than a review. First I would buy this wi-fi usb again. Works great. Showed up as WiFi 2 on Windows 10. Within a day I started having more than the usual connection problems with my Microsoft Wireless Adapter-Miracast device. This device allows me to send Netflix, Amazon Prime, or anything else on my computer to the TV. Great device. The connection problems, however, are NOT THE Result of my new Asus Nano. getting 100Mbs with the new wireless at 5GHz connection. The original card Atheros is only a 2.5 connection. So using a dual band router I have great connection speeds. But what was up with the Miracast device? ****After mucking around for a few hours yesterday and today--and after a chat with MSFT Support--I turned OFF the original Atheros wifi card. I did rename the Asus Nano first just to be sure I was turning off the correct card. Now, both the MSFT Wireless Adapter (about 5 years old) and the Screenbeam Adapter for another TV (same age) display as devices that I can connect. This doesn't mean I still won't have some issues. But at least i'm headed in the right direction. I do not have this issue with my other laptop (Surface 3 Pro). Oh well. The Asus Nano Dual Band Wireless USB is an awesome, easy upgrade.
