The USB 3.0 interface keeps the connection to your computer strong and snappy at super transfer speeds of 5Gbps. Best of all, the Alfa measures just 85 x 26 x 12 millimeters and weighs in at a super-light 25 grams so that it goes anywhere you do and brings wireless wonder along.

Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter

Incredible Performance from 2 Dual-Band Antennas

Alfa’s AWUS036AC is designed for those with a serious need for wireless Internet speed. Its 2x dual-band antenna (2.4GHz / 5GHz) setup lets you connect to AC networks at a tire-burning 867Mbps and to any networks up to a whopping 300 Mbps. As the new wireless draft 802.11ac technology was developed to optimize the handling of heavy data transfer demands like video streaming and large files syncing, the AWUS036AC is the ultimate tool for taking advantage of the next wave in wireless connectivity. Yet, despite all its power and speed, this little Alfa comes in a really small form factor akin to a USB thumb drive.

Removable Rubber Duck Antennas for Powerful Flexibility

The AWUS036AC ships with two detachable 5 dBi dual-band dipole rubber duck antennas. While these are über-powerful in their own right, the RP-SMA female antenna port can accept antenna upgrades to boost your wireless range and signal even more. Once your antenna of choice is connected, this turns into a standalone Wi-Fi receiver that puts the connected world at your fingertips. Alfa is also seriously invested in your privacy, and to ensure the AWUS036AC is as secure as it is reliable, it includes support for enterprise-class wireless security WEP 64-Bit, WEP 128-Bit, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

Extremely Long-Range and Great Connectivity, Windows 10 Compatible.
5 Stars
Extremely Long-Range and Great Connectivity, Windows 10 Compatible.
I would like to state that I tried another cheaper card that had an Antenae and it had less signal strength than my preloaded stock wireless desktop card. I recieved my package on-time, everything worked as described, nothing was broken, it was brand new and as advertised. The directions for installation are very simple, the cord is long enough to go over half of a desk, with a desktop at the floor on the sides.NOTE: Alfa's website: http://www.alfa.com.tw/download.php HAS Windows 10 Drivers for this Wireless Card AND is compatible, having run this on a Laptop AND Desktop both running windows 10. The drivers are most definitely needed as I tried the windows 8 ones, and they were slightly unstable until I got the Windows 10 ones. I would like to point out some key features that I like about this Wireless Adapter Card.1. Range and Compatibility: The range easily surpasses more than a half mile, with the card I'm picking up signals my stock wireless card didn't even see.2. Compatibility Issues not an Issue: I run windows 10 to which this card is used for, but I had no idea when I had purchased it, I looked on Alfa's website and even though the disk that was included with the card does not have drivers for Windows 10, the website does.3. Very Study: The design of the Adapter has no flimsy parts, plastic is rugged and feels solid, the wireless stand is heavy and even though it falls over easy is very sleek. The USB cord is as thick as my mouse cord with normal covering surrounding it.4. Stable: Even though I have my own Wireless Network I use, the card can full bar Unsecured Wireless Networks while connected, I used my Comcast login info to test a XfinityWifi hotspot that is more than a half a mile away (I checked the distance using the app) I used it all night, and the connection stayed strong throughout the night.5. Dual Band Attenae: The Attenae are what makes the Adapter strong, I point it toward my Modem and the Connection is increasingly stronger than when pointed away, doing a speed test I gained a small amount of download and upload speed doing this.I added 2 screenshots of my "Before" and "After" of the wireless networks available to me with my stock card, and the Alfa one. I would like to point out that, there is many more networks below it as it creates a scroll bar of new networks!Overall I am fairly impressed with the quality of the purchase, so much that I am thinking about buying one for all of my standstill devices (Smart TV etc) I would like to point out that I tried using it for my Xbox One and it did not recognize it. Sorry!All and All I commend Alfa for this monster of a Wireless Adapter, and if I ever need another one, I know which company to stick to from now on.
