Review: Edimax EW-7811UTC = Winner, winner, chicken dinner! - This adapter is cheap, easy and fast. As with most computer products I ignored the included CD and simply downloaded the driver from the Edimax website. Installation was quick and easy on my Windows 7 system. I connected easily to my Asus RT-AC66U wireless router which is located about 20 feet away, thru 1 wall, in the next room. I am connecting only on the 5GHz band and the EW-7811UTC only supports 1 spatial stream so I am limited to 433Mbps maximum, which is fine for my needs. Unless you are routinely moving multi-gigabyte files around on your LAN, I don't really see a need for more capacity than this. I have used this wireless adapter for downloading files, streaming videos (Netflix, Hulu, desertcart Prime), online MMO gaming, and voice over IP (VOIP). Everything worked flawlessly. You could spend more and get a higher capacity wireless adapter, but really, this is likely all you need. UPDATE 12-15-2015: I have used the AC600 adapter for 10 months in my windows 7 computer and it has worked perfectly. I decided I wanted to upgrade the wireless in my other computer, a windows 10 media PC, from the built-in 2.4GHz wireless g to 5GHz wireless AC. I went to the Edimax website to find out if I needed to download a driver. The website said that the support is already baked in to Windows 10 so no driver was required. I turned off the pc, plugged in the adapter , and rebooted the pc. I then turned off the built in wireless g adapter and switched to the Edimax AC600 adapter in Windows 10 network settings. The adapter is working fine.. I am posting this update because so many people seem to have trouble with this adapter recently and are making sweeping statements about this device's capabilities. My experience has been that this usb AC600 adapter has worked easily and reliably with both my window 7 and windows 10 machines. I will be buying a second one as an upgrade to my media pc. Review: Not bad for the price - In a nut-shell, it doubles my wifi speed. Sometime back I bought a Asus RT-AC66U router as my other basic router stopped working. When I bought this Asus router my speeds went from about 25Mbps to 50 Mbps when transferring files on my LAN via wifi. Not bad without upgrading my laptop "N" internal wifi adaptor. I attributed this increase directly to the new ASUS router. It also helped speeds on other wifi connections however it was most important on my laptop. Fast forward a year. I realized I needed faster speeds than 50Mbps when transferring files from LAN computers to laptop so I finally decided to buy an AC wifi adaptor for my laptop. One very important factor that I wanted in a new AC WIFI adaptor was that it had to be small as I wanted to keep it plugged into my laptop full time and didn't want it to be too wide as that it interfered with plugging in other USB devices on adjacent USB ports. The only USB adaptor that I could find that fit this requirement was the Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600. At the price I couldn't resist buying it. I got the Edimax AC600 adaptor from desertcart for less than 20 bucks including shipping. Installed the driver on my Windows 7 laptop and plugged it in to a USB port. Easy to connect as all I had to do was push the WPS button on the new wifi adaptor #located on the bottom# and the WPS on my router. Within 20 seconds it was connected. A this point, I'm pretty happy how the adaptor is working but needed a speed test. Fastest I could come up with is router USB hard drive to the laptop transfer of a 1 gig file via the Edimax adaptor. Using my orginal "N" built in adaptor it was 53Mbps. Using the new Edimax adaptor is was 102Mbps. Almost twice the speed! 102Mbps is not all that and is certainly not 300Mbps, but I was testing apples to apples not apples to oranges, so to speak. It works twice as fast in a real-world test. That's enough speed increase for me for less than 20 bucks. Not bad at all for a compact USB wifi adaptor. ## Features - HIGH PERFORMANCE AC600 USB adapter supports Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac standard with speedy throughput of up to 433Mbps (5Ghz) or 150Mbps (2.4Ghz). - MINI-SIZED USB adapter design is extremely compact and easy to carry, complete with a cap and lanyard hole.

The driver that comes with cd does not work with Ubuntu 14.04. it gives error during sudo make** A: You may have to install the drivers on old Linux kernels. However, it ran out of the box for me on Manjaro running kernel 4.14. When I plugged it into my Linux Mint 19 (Linux kernel 4.15) the Network Manager did not see it. It did show on a lsusb so I started to look for the drivers. While getting ready to install them, it just started working. It also ran straight away on a very old, very small Acer running Peppermint 9, also with Linux Kernel 19. It connects at 150 mbs every-time on every machine and Linux. I plan to buy the dual band version of this. I am very happy with Edimax. **Q: This supports AC 5GHz but only 2.4Ghz for Wireless N? I have an Asus RT-N56U wireless N router that supports 5 Ghz. Will this pick up my 5Ghz N signal** A: I own the ASUS RT-AC66U wireless router that it works fine with. Since my router is dual signal I really don't know if it is working on the 2.4 or 5 Ghz. I would assume it would work since it is a dual band adapter. **Q: Does this adapter require any software other than a standard Windows driver? Like a "Connection Tool" or other program?** A: Dear Dulmes,No EW-7811UTC does not require any software other than a standard windows driver packaged in the CD. Unless you are using Windows 8.1, you have to download the supported driver from Edimax US website. If you have any questions, please email our Live Tech Support Team to "support@edimax.us." We are more than willing to help you with your concerns. Best regards,Edimax Customer Service Team **Q: Does it automatically reconnect to internet when you use stand by, sleep or hybernate mode as well as shutdown or restart your pc ?** A: Hi Harold, yes, EW-7811UTC will reconnect to internet when you use stand by, sleep or hibernate mode or restart your PC. We did not receive any complainant about this issue before.

I have a Lenovo G-series laptop that is not that old, but it came equipped with an internal wifi adapter that operates on the 802.11N protocol and gives me a wireless connection speed of 72 Mb/s. For $14.40 (as of 6-16-18) with Prime delivery you can buy the following adapter and boost your speed to 434 Mb/s with very little hassle. Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Dual-Band USB Adapter Available at Amazon with Prime for $14.40 IMPORTANT NOTE: I have specified the Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Dual-Band USB Adapter in this post because I have several of them running and because they run reliably by simply installing the rtl8812au-dkms software. I have tried higher speed adapters claiming 600, 800, 1200, and 1300 Mb/s from Edimax and other manufacturers and have had nothing but problems. Sometimes they run unreliably. Frequently "nano" sized adapters overheat and die. So, this 600AC adapter delivering a reliable 434 Mb/s in a compact package is my compromise, and I am completely satisfied with it. This has been my experience, and your mileage may vary! This adapter will not work "out of the box" because the Linux kernel doesn't support the chipset. Why? I have no idea. But it is easy to get it up and running. The best method is to open the Synaptic package manager and type "rtl88" in the search field. The search will show you rtl8812au-dkms and allow you to install it in the normal manner. If you use the Synaptic or other software installer that came with your distribution, you will be assured that the version of rtl8812au-dkms is compatible. When you install rtl8812au-dkms, it will incorporate the rtl8812au chipset driver into your kernel and also run depmod and everything else to get you up and running. Depending on the speed of your system, it may take a minute or two to complete. It seems like forever, but that's normal. When it is completed, insert or re-insert your USB adapted, and it should start working immediately and also work the every time you reboot your system. NOTE: You don't want both the internal wifi adapter and the external USB adapter working at the same time. They interact in unpredictable ways and can cause problems loading web pages. Find your way to "Edit Connections..." and change the settings of the adapters under the General tab. Activate the box marked "Automatically connect..." for the external USB adapter, and deactivate the "automatic" box for the internal adapter. That's it, and you've gone from 72 Mb/s up to 434 Mb/s for under $15. ## Frequently Bought Together - Edimax Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac Mini AC600 Dual-Band (2.4Ghz / 5Ghz) Adapter For PC USB Adapter Dongle, Win11 Plug-n-Play, Mac OS, Linux, EW-7811UTC - Edimax Wi-Fi 4 802.11n Adapter for PC N150 Nano USB Adapter, 150Mbps, Smallest Wi-Fi 4 Dongle, Win 11 Plug-n-Play, Linux: Ubuntu/Mint Plug-n-Play for Kernel 5.15 and Above, Mac OS, EW-7811Un V2 - TP-Link Nano AC600 USB Wifi Adapter(Archer T2U Nano)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Transceiver for PC Desktop, Travel Size, Supports Windows (11,10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP / Mac OS X 10.9-10.14) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/436258-wi-fi-5-ac600-mini-usb-adapter](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/436258-wi-fi-5-ac600-mini-usb-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
