EDUPUSB 3.0 WiFi 6E Adapter AX3000M Wireless WiFi Dongle Network Adapter 802.11AX Tri-Band 6GHz/5GHz/2.4GHz Dual 5dBi Antennas for PC Compatible with Windows 11/10 64Bits

I got this as an upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5's onboard WiFi. Worked flawlessly without any additional drivers/software needed, and immediately boosted the speed and signal quality.

I pay for 500mbs internet, with this on linux I get.... 400-500mbs. Great signal. No disconnecting. After a good 2-3 weeks of non stop usage, i can confidently say... Plug and play.Arch btw.

Very fast!

I have extensive experience with computers and was an IT director for 5 years. I build my own computers. Recently, our internet service provider upgraded our cable modem/router to eero Pro 6E which uses wifi 6 and can communicate at 6 ghz. My existing wireless adapter is a tp-link AC1300 which can handle 5MHZ but not wifi 6 and 6 ghz. So, I ordered this EDUP AX3000 hoping it would connect to the router using wifi 6 at 6ghz. I installed it and updated the driver. First time, it connected at 2.4ghz. I started changing its configuration in the control manager and was able to connect at 5mhz. Then, all of a sudden it dropped back to 2.4 ghz. After multiple changes of connection protocol using 802.11ac, then 802.11n, etc. , I managed to get it stabilize it to not drop to 2.4ghz. However, no matter what I did, the adapter would not connect to eero at 6 ghz. It should be noted that my iphone 15 connects to the router using the 6ghz band at top speed of the eero.Update January 19, 2025. I changed my rating for this wireless adapter from 1 star to 4 star because of the good vendor's customer service. After I returned the first unit and requested refund, the vendor refunded my money but also contacted me offering a free unit to test. She asked me the configuration of my computer and I gave it to her. The free unit arrived on Friday and I installed it today. The driver file for the adapter comes on a USB stick which was included with it. This time, the installation went very smoothly because there was only one exe file on the stick. I installed the driver, rebooted the computer and the adapter connected to my eero router. At first, it connected via 2.4 ghz, but soon switched to 5 ghz band. The adapter still does not connect via the 6ghz band. However, the speed is much improved and connection is now consistent. The adapter does not drop to 2.4 ghz band upon system restart. It should be note that the speed of the communication between the adapter and your router depends greatly on how far your system is from the router and also how much metal structures are in between. I managed to reach a down load speed of 200 meg (our router max speed is 300 meg but the pc is not in line of sight). To close, this vendor has excellent customer service.

Once I gave it enough space and height away from cables or metal, it works great. Positioning is key. No overheating even with lots of file transfer.

Doesn't work as intended. It is plug and play. It does not offer better performance than my built-in Wi-Fi card for my Lenovo T480. I downloaded the driver that they provide and that didn't seem to do anything. Picture included in this review was taken after all computer BIOS were updated, system updates were up to date, and then the driver for the Wi-Fi being installed. Would not recommend.

easy to set up and works great with my windows 10 machine

This is fast and works well. I bought a USB 3 base to help the antennas stay upright like a little radio tower. I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed LINUX and it just works when you plug it in. Very happy for the money. Even if you have an onboard adapter this may help with antenna position and reception.
