Needed to replace the wireless in a laptop. This installed seamlessly in seconds on the win11 device. No issues, unobtrusive and connects quickly with adequate speed on both 2.4 and 5ghz networks.

I bought it as hoped it might work better if the Wi-Fi adapter is further from the laptop case (where all USB3, and power interference are). It did help HUGELY with Bluetooth, so that was a motivation. Unfortunately, it did not help at all. Seeing the same download speed. And way worse upload speed.According to speedtest.com:ethernet: 500M in, 500M outinternal intel wifi: 200M in, 200M outthis asus nano: 200M in, 50M out

This Wi-Fi 6 adapter works well once it's set up. However, the instructions are lacking, especially for Windows 10 users (it may be more seamless on other OS). You'll need to manually select Change Adapter in Wi-Fi settings and select the new adapter and may need to disable your onboard adapter for optimal performance. Lastly, you will need to restart your system.

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 timeTo 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.
