In addition to the beauty of the design, the stability of the signal, and the speed of the Internet this is due to the use of Wi-Fi 6 technology in this adapter, This device contains the latest encryption technology WPA 3
Which all network devices must contain at the present time due to the current cyber threats and that all measures must be taken to deter them, this encryption (WPA 3) is considered the latest generation of encryption algorithms for wireless networks, which are very difficult to penetrate, I highly recommend this device for more network security.

I first tried out the AX1800 on a little Chuwi LarkBox desktop. With its built-in wireless AC, I can only get 185 Mbps from Xfinity, though I have a 600 Mbps plan. I installed the Windows 10 driver from the brostrend.com site (Support-->Download-->AX4-->Download-->Driver), and it installed quickly. (Windows will attempt to block the driver setup; just click on Run Anyway.) I then disabled the built-in wireless AC through Device Manager, and linked the AX1800 to the Xfinity router. The result? 575 Mbps (see photo). The highest I have obtained is 625 Mbps. I was delighted.

Next, I decided to put the AX1800 in a far tougher environment. I used an ancient (c. 2006) Lenovo Thinkpad T61. With its built-in wireless N I got 122 Mbps. I installed the AX1800 driver, disabled the built-in wireless N, and linked to the Xfinity router. The result was 203 Mbps. A limiting factor was the USB 2.0 on such an old machine, but still a nice improvement over the built-in wifi.

Next, I wanted to really push things by taking this old machine outside with the AX1800. The Xfinity router is on the second floor of the home, so in the backyard on the patio the computer is downstairs and 50 feet from the router. There, the AX1800 could still do 70 Mbps, but when I disconnected it and re-enabled the internal wireless N it could only do 14 Mbps.

When plugging the provided cable into the AX1800 base, be sure and look to see that the correct plug end on the cord goes into the base. At first glance the cable looks like it is USB on both ends, but it isn't. Also, BrosTrend does not have Windows 11 drivers on their website yet, but says they are coming. If you plug the AX1800 into a Win 11 machine, it won't show up in Device Manager.

All in all, and especially if you are in a suboptimal reception environment, this is a great product. I recommend it highly.
