UGREEN Wifi Dongle, AX900 WiFi 6 Adapter USB Wireless Dual Band 5GHz/2.4GHz Network Wifi Adapter for PC/Laptop, Built-in Driver, OFDMA+MU-MIMO, Supports Windows 10/11

For the price, this is a very good product. The driver is built into the USB stick itself. At first, it may seem like the USB network device isn’t recognized, but there’s no need to worry. When you plug it in, a new drive appears on your Windows PC. Simply open that drive, double-click the setup file, and installation completes within seconds. In terms of speed, performance will vary depending on the USB port used. Connected to a USB 2.0 port, I achieved speeds of up to 240 Mbps. On USB 1.0, speeds were around 40 Mbps for both upload and download, which is still decent for most HD streaming. Not tested on USB 3.0 but likely to get 400+ speeds . if you have a device with 3.0 socket , not likely you will require this anyways as the PC would have onboard cards to support Dual Band (2G+5G) . I haven’t experienced any connection drops so far, suggesting it provides a stable and reliable connection.

I paid £7.96 for this USB Wifi Dongle on sale and for the price this is top tier value. On Windows 11 initially it will show up as a tiny usb storage device with the driver included, a double click and it installs in just a few moments, and now gets correctly recognised as a WiFi device on that specific PC. Internet speeds average ~260 Mbps. which is close the boxs claimed 2.4ghz max transfer rate of 286 Mbps. However gaming is less about pure speed and more about network latency and im happy to report that ping is speedy and reliable. It's perfectly fine for casual online gaming in my time testing it. Linux A welcome surprise, despite this listing advertising no Linux compatibility, the product box itself says it supports "Linux kernel 3.10~6.8". Granted it doesnt work immediately and you will need to manually download and install a driver but I didnt find it too much of a hassle and its infinitely better then zero Linux support. I managed to get it working on linux distros like Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04.4, both on real hardware and inside a virtual machine. Ironically, I can't get the official linux drivers from UGREEN download centre to work, tried both the driver package and manually compiling, but thankfully there is a tenda driver for a different WiFi dongle also works with this one due to both sharing the same WiFi chipset. It works for debian based Linux distributions. There is also a community github driver you can try for non debian based Linux distributions but I havent tested it yet. I can't post the links here but it should be one of the first results when searching "reddit UGREEN AX900 driver" in r/linuxmint So yeah, the painless windows setup, fast and consistent speed and ping, plus linux compatibility makes for a versatile product that well exceeded my expectations.

Valuable product but signal/connection is not stable, have to re-plug it for recognising the part and make it work.

Not plug and play. Instruction next to useless. Have installed/ uninstalled multiple times now. Connects to WiFi but then drops out immediately. After an hour of messing around it just about connects but is now very slow.

So far so good. It will allow me to keep the spare W10 laptop used for streaming (while ironing etc) going for a while longer. Initially, I couldn't find the new router and thought it wouldn't work (laptop has wifi2only, it's that old). But I used to work in the sector in the 80s, so I persisted. This time I opened This PC, found the setup, and initialised it. Still had a problem. So I installed the network manually, giving it a second WPA. Bingo. Works like a charm now. Good Mbps in a poorish area. Streams like a dream. I will edit if I get issues. If this seems simplistic, sorry, I'm 80+ and proud of myself.

Didn't work on my ChromeOS Flex HP pavilion Computer...

It was no faster than the installed wifi card in my 4 year old lap top. Speeds of 250mbs (I have Full Fibre 1GB) - But it does work and connects with out issues. For £7.99 I got what I paid for I suppose. I have since bought a wifi 7 dongle for much more money and get over 900mbs which is what I was really after. Its back in its box "for spares use".

I tried WiFi dongles from a couple of different brands, but had to return them because getting the Windows 11 drivers working was a nightmare, despite them claiming compatibility. The UGREEN dongle was completely different. The drivers are stored directly on the dongle itself, so installation was quick and easy without needing another internet-connected computer to download anything first. It worked perfectly straight away, and I’ve been so pleased with it that I’ve since bought three more. Highly recommended!

Good quality product. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Adattatore WIFI UGREEN Ottimo!

This UGREEN WiFi 6 adapter is a fantastic solution for adding high-speed wireless connectivity to a desktop or laptop without an internal card. The setup was plug-and-play on my Windows 11 system, and the signal strength is impressively strong and stable even through multiple walls. I've noticed a significant improvement in both download speeds and latency during online gaming compared to my old WiFi 5 dongle. The compact design doesn't block adjacent USB ports, and the build quality feels solid and reliable. It's a very cost-effective way to take advantage of WiFi 6 speeds; I highly recommend it for a hassle-free network upgrade.
