Quality

Competitiveness
You'll get full wif6 speeds even if your internet plan is over 1gbps data.
I tested this adapter on a dell inspiron 17 7000 2-in-1 7786 running windows 10 purchased in late 2018.
4ghz (574mbps) or 5ghz (1201mbps) wifi networks.
Exe stored in itself, and appears like a usb thumbdrive in explorer.
