The package comes with the dongle, antenna, instructions, and driver disk.
We plugged it into a Windows 10 laptop which found the drivers and connected quickly and easily.
Testing the adapter with Windows 10 and 11 the drivers were found automatically.
It uses the RTL8811AU wireless chipset.
2.4Ghz Wireless-N Speed Test
The first test done was a simple internet speed test with SpeedTest.net.
It maxed out the internet connection of 50Mbps Download and 5Mbps Upload.
The next test was done on our internal network with Iperf3.
Iperf3 gave it a speed 46.7 Megabits per a second.
5GHz Wireless-AC Speed Test
We skipped an online test since it already maxed out our internet connection.
We ran Iperf3 on the internal network with the router roughly 10 feet away past a wall.
Iperf3 gave the results of 92.6 Megabits per a second for the 5GHz 802.11ac test.

Summary
The ANEWKODI 600Mbps dual band wireless adapter is a good low-cost dongle.
While not the fastest USB WiFi dongle it works well for the price.
The 2dBi antenna will help it get a boost for a better WiFi signal.
While it can work with a laptop the antenna may get in the way if moved around much. It would be a good fit for a Desktop that needs wireless with the new 802.11ac protocols.
So far it has been working fine. I will update this post if anything changes.
As always be sure to read the reviews on Amazon, here, or elsewhere to be sure a unit is the right pick for you.
i cannot create acces point, the software has the option disabled and with Windows 11 it creates the Hotspot but does not give ip by dchp. How can i solve this.
I bought this wifi dongle and installed it on a Lenovo Yoga 2. I have comcast blast internet which gives me 80mb/s on my mac but for some reason the Lenovo is only getting 12mb/s. Drivers are updated and working properly and I’m on a 5ghz network. Anything that I may be doing wrong?
Where can I get drivers for this device?
