    Customers like the size of the network interface controller adapter. They say that it is super small, and does a great job. They also appreciate the small profile, which makes it perfect for desktops and laptops with spotty WiFi.

    "...I love it and hate it, at the same time... I love it because it's very tiny and 2-3x faster than my built-in "N" WiFi adapter..." Read more

    "...And due to its small size, I just leave it place, and do what I do best - go about my business and forget its even there!" Read more

    111 customers mention49 positive62 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the connectivity of the network interface controller adapter. Some mention that the AC1200 rating ensures excellent wireless performance with speeds of up to 867Mbps, and that the driver was working. However, others say that it works for a few months then gets inconsistent connectivity, and it wouldn't connect to the wireless printer. It also heats up and disconnects often.

The signal range is not as great as they would have hoped, and it weakens very quickly.

    "...you're at home, in the office, or on the go, this adapter ensures fast speeds, reduced interference, and improved overall performance...." Read more

    "...from the router, to about 15 feet (no obstructions), the speed starts to drop off a bit to about 526.5Mbps & 650Mbps (Tx & Rx), but still good...." Read more

    Improved my wifi speed 100X
    I have Verizon 1Gbps internet service and a WiFi 6 router. However, I've noticed that my desktop PC, which is connected via WiFi, is slow. I decided to test my wifi connection with Verizon's speed test, but the results were very disappointing. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered the Asus AX55 and ran the before and after speed tests shown in the photos. Prior to purchasing the Asus AX-55, I was using a Linksys AE1200 USB WiFi adapter. As you can see from the photo, the upload speed has increased by nearly 100 times. I'm glad I made the change. Furthermore, the Asus device was one-third the size of my old Linksys wifi adapter. To be clear, this is not a criticism of Linksys products. It is more indicative of how quickly technology evolves.
