It works as expected, but requires installation of drivers
It works fine. I don't think it reaches the advertised speed, but it's definitely faster than my older wifi dongle.
However it is not a plug-and-play device. On windows it requires installation of drivers, which means that you need administrator access. The drivers are in the dongle itself, but still the process reminds me a lot of Windows 98.
There are no drivers available for Linux. If you are using a *nux operating system, you need to trust a github repository that contains some drivers that work. I did not try it on MacOS yet. Given that ASUS is mostly favoring Windows, I don't think it will be a better experience.Pro
- Faster than any other WiFi dongle that I tried
Contra
- Requires installation of drivers
- No support for Linux
Faster then apple Wi-Fi card
Pro
- Wifi6
- Monitor mode
Contra
- Linux driver need to self compile form source (non ASUS official driver)
- No 2.4Gbps 160Mhz 2x2 (usb3.0 can support 5Gbps)
Wifi 6 dongle that does not support Wifi 6 - or any network at all.
There's only one driver version available, and it is so bareboned in the advanced settings department that I can only think ASUS haven't actually gotten around to actually releasing one yet.
My previous wifi adapter, the Netgear A7000, can see the wireless AX network and connect to it.
This one cannot see it, even though it is specifically an AX adapter.
What's more, it doesn't connect to any network at all.
Either the drivers for this device are completely flawed, or there's a physical defect.
I'll wait a week to see if ASUS get back to me about a newer driver, then I'll return it.Pro
