It is a nice upgrade for those with older equipment and good unit for a desktop that needs wireless added. Most any low cost cheap WiFi dongle can reach these speeds.Īlso be sure your router is dual band as while it will still work the speeds will be much less slower and default to wireless-N on 2.4GHz. Most homes have internet speeds between 30Mbps-100Mbps, with those on DSL much lower. The Netgear AC1200 USB adapter is one of the more expensive units so be sure you have a need for it.
NETGEAR AC1200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter High Gain Dual Band USB 3.0 (A6210-100PAS) I am still testing it and will do more speed test from other locations and update as I go along. This was the fastest speed my ISP has so it will no-doubt be faster. Running a quick speed test it maxed out the connection at 30Mbps down and 5MBps up. There is a WPS button for setup if needed. Setting it up with Windows 10 was easy as plugging it in. This can be good for getting a better signal by being able to move it about.

The box comes with everything needed including the drivers and adapter.Ī cradle is also included if needed which is basically a USB extender. The Netgear AC1200 with its large fold out antenna while not the top best unit for distance gives good results and is one of the better models. There are much smaller wireless USB dongles to help stay out of the way but their signal is less powerful than a larger unit. The Netgear AC1200 model A6210-100PAS is a big USB WiFi adapter with a fold out antenna. Of course theoretical speeds are rarely if ever reached, adding in other factors such as walls or distance and wireless will slow down and degrade. It work in the 5 GHz frequency unlike the older protocols that worked in the 2.4 GHz band. It can deliver a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on 2.4GHz Wireless-N, and 867Mbps on 5 GHz Wireless-AC.įor those unaware wireless-AC is the newest WiFi protocol with the fastest speed.
The Netgear AC1200 is a USB 3.0 Dual Band USB wireless adapter built for high wireless transfer speeds.
