About This Product
The TRENDnet TEW-648UB is a compact USB Wi-Fi adapter offering 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) connectivity. It is suitable for basic internet browsing and email on older systems or as a temporary solution. Performance is limited to single-band 2.4 GHz, making it significantly slower than modern Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 adapters, especially in congested environments. It is not recommended for streaming high-definition video or online gaming due to its older standard and potential for lower throughput.
Pros
- Extremely compact USB form factor
- Very low cost
- Simple plug-and-play installation
Cons
- Outdated 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) standard
- Single-band 2.4 GHz only
- Limited bandwidth for modern applications
