Wi-Fi has been transformed in the past couple of years by the arrival of the AC standard and its fastest iteration, AC1900. But despite AC1900 routers having been around for a while, the number of devices that can connect to the standard at full speed is still very low.

Fairly bulky adapter; Can't match PC card for Wi-Fi speed; Requires cable

There's no point in upgrading your router to an 802.11ac model unless your various PCs and other connected devices can handle the extra speed boost, which is where this cute little external Wi-Fi adaptor comes into play.

Works well with AC2300 router. Drivers from Web and a little messing around to get it to behave but now goes well.
