You'll pay a price in maximum performance, but you'll be rewarded with a more stable connection. Since this is a dual-band adapter, if you'd like to use it on a different floor than the router is located on, or through some troublesome walls, I suggest using it with a 2.4Ghz network. In general, with RF communications the rule is that as frequency increases, more of the signal will be absorbed by structures. Even if you can only achieve 200-300mbps, you're still getting the fastest performance that has ever been available in wifi (as of 6/2013) for a bargain price ($39.99 at this writing).Īnother thing to be aware of is that due to the physical properties of 5Ghz RF, it will *never* pass through walls and other structures as well as 2.4Ghz.

That being said, don't expect to get 433mbps unless you live in an interference-free area (basically if you live way, way out in the country) and have a line-of-sight between the router and adapter. Since this is the industry standard in wireless networking, I think that Edimax's specification of '866Mbps' is fair. so if wired cards were spec'd like wireless cards, they would be referred to as '2Gbps' (and conversely, if this were a wired card, it would be advertised as 433 mbps). In wireless networking, the industry standard is to advertise the sum of the speeds that can be achieved in *both* directions. In wired networking, the 1Gbps advertised speed represents the speed that the adapter is able to achieve in *each* direction. It can be a little confusing at first, because it's different than what we're used to with wire networking.

To those of you who were expecting to get 867mbps - Edimax publishes the aggregate full duplex bandwidth number.

Note that I am using USB 2.0, which has a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 280mbps - it is possible that this card would be even faster if connected to a USB 3.0 port. I am able to consistently get over 200mbps in a real-world environment (through a wall, adapter located ~18 ft from the router). This adapter is *incredibly* fast for WiFi.
