Review: Top Produkt - Sehr gutes Produkt !!! Review: Works Perfectly - 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 time To 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. ## Features - First WiFi 6 (802.11ax) USB adapter – Upgrade PCs networking to 802.11ax standard via USB interface. - Extreme 5GHz Wi-Fi speed with wide 160Mhz bandwidth and 1024-QAM - Boost 5GHz WiFi speed up to 2.4Gbps, and up to 2.7X faster. - Ultra high-efficiency with OFDMA and MU-MIMO - Enable a more stable, and faster transmission in a high density environment. - Support the latest WiFi security WPA3 - Enhance WiFi security and enable more robust authentication. - Compatible with Windows and Linux - Support Windows 10 and Linux for flexible OS integration. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BQ1DLLCM | | Best Sellers Rank | #68,697 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #510 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | ASUS | | Built-In Media | Quick Start Guide, USB-AX55 Nano Dual-band Wireless AX1800 Adapter, Warranty Card | | Color | BLACK | | Colour | BLACK | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Linux, Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 461 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 1800 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | USB | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware interface | USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 25L x 16W x 9H millimeters | | Item Type Name | Router | | Item Weight | 5 g | | Manufacturer | ASUS | | Mfr Part Number | USB-AX55 Nano | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 10 | | Model Number | USB-AX55 Nano | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product dimensions | 25L x 16W x 9H millimeters | | UPC | 195553760751 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASUS - **Colour:** BLACK - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Hardware interface:** USB - **Product dimensions:** 25L x 16W x 9H millimeters ## Images ![ASUS AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 USB Adapter, WiFi 6, 802.11ax, WPA3 Network Security, 5GHz Frequency Band, Compact Size (USB-AX55 Nano) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KGaunYjEL.jpg) ![ASUS AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 USB Adapter, WiFi 6, 802.11ax, WPA3 Network Security, 5GHz Frequency Band, Compact Size (USB-AX55 Nano) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gPIF3dNgL.jpg) ![ASUS AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 USB Adapter, WiFi 6, 802.11ax, WPA3 Network Security, 5GHz Frequency Band, Compact Size (USB-AX55 Nano) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513sivIjZ3L.jpg) ![ASUS AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 USB Adapter, WiFi 6, 802.11ax, WPA3 Network Security, 5GHz Frequency Band, Compact Size (USB-AX55 Nano) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WaDTVNi0L.jpg) ![ASUS AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 USB Adapter, WiFi 6, 802.11ax, WPA3 Network Security, 5GHz Frequency Band, Compact Size (USB-AX55 Nano) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WlN54znZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Produkt *by T***Z on 14 March 2024* Sehr gutes Produkt !!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Perfectly *by L***S on 23 June 2023* Like a few other comments pointed out, I don't understand the negative reviews this has received.
