About This Product
The Rosewill RNX-AC1200UBE2 is a WiFi 5 (802.11ac) USB adapter with two external antennas. It offers theoretical speeds up to 867 Mbps on the 5GHz band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. This adapter is suitable for basic internet browsing and streaming, but its USB interface may introduce latency compared to PCIe cards, making it less ideal for competitive online gaming or high-bandwidth local network transfers. It is a budget-friendly option for adding wireless connectivity to a desktop or upgrading an older laptop's WiFi.
Pros
- Adds WiFi 5 to any USB-enabled device
- External antennas for potentially better signal
- Simple plug-and-play installation
- Affordable wireless connectivity solution
Cons
- USB interface can introduce latency
- WiFi 5 is older standard, not WiFi 6/6E
