Description

The CMU Dual Band WiFi USB Dongle is a high-performance wireless LAN adapter designed to deliver fast, stable, and secure internet connectivity for desktops, laptops, and embedded systems. Supporting the latest IEEE 802.11ac standard, this adapter operates on both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz dual bands, providing flexible network access, reduced interference, and improved overall wireless performance.

With combined speeds of up to 600Mbps (150Mbps on 2.4GHz and 433Mbps on 5.8GHz), this USB WiFi adapter is ideal for everyday internet use, HD video streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, and large file transfers.
