Upgrade your desktop or laptop with the Realtek 8821CU chipset, a dual-band adapter that supports the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard while remaining backward compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n networks.
Experience maximum speeds of up to 433Mbps on the uncrowded 5GHz band—ideal for smooth HD streaming and lag-free online gaming. The 2.4GHz band delivers reliable speeds up to 150Mbps for everyday tasks like web browsing and music streaming.
This versatile adapter also features Bluetooth 4.2, enabling non-Bluetooth enabled computers to connect wirelessly to a wide range of peripherals—including speakers, headsets, keyboards, and printers—within a range of 10 meters.
Two flexible modes adapt to your needs: use Wi-Fi mode to connect your computer to a wireless network, or switch to AP mode to turn a wired internet connection into a shared Wi-Fi hotspot for your mobile devices.
A quick plug-and-play installation gets you started. The included drivers support Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7. For optimal performance, note that Bluetooth shares the 2.4GHz band; when using Bluetooth accessories, we recommend connecting your Wi-Fi to a 5GHz network to avoid interference.
