Review: Very stable!..with the right device - Update 8/6/24: I'm fan of this product! Found the drivers on Edimax's website and installed them. Went from a max of 250-260 Mbps download speeds previously to 370+ Mbps (over a 300 Mbps Spectrum internet connection)! And it connects to my Wifi 6 router without issues. Update 7/29/24: Here's what I've found with this USB adapter. On my old Lenovo (with a USB 2.0 port), it's super reliable/no issues. On my Dell laptop purchased in 2018 with USB 3.0 ports, it's finicky (especially when in a scenario of high usage/lots of data passing through over many hours such as with streaming 1080p/4K video). The trick I found when using it in that scenario is I'm better off leaving the laptop powered on at all times and powering it off completely once a month then powering on again. After powering on again you may have some instances of disconnection (wifi status showing Connected/No internet). Simply disconnecting from wifi, unplugging the wifi adaptor, waiting 10 seconds then plugging it in again then reconnecting to wifi seems to work. I admit it was a royal pain to figure this out, but I suspect it has to do with the USB controller within the laptop so won't be removing an stars from this review. Update 9/04/22: So good I ordered 2 more! This USB Wifi adapter has bailed me out twice when dealing with integrated wifi adapters in laptops that weren't performing as they should. Running 5 Ghz on my router with 40 Mhz channel width and this adapter has speed tests of around 240 Mbps Down / 12 Mbps Up (currently on the Spectrum 300 Mbps / 10 Mbps plan. In doing a continuous ping test to my router I've not seen any drops yet for the new ones I just received and the one I've had since July 2020. Good job Edimax. 3/12/22: I use this with an old Laptop which has an integrated wifi adapter that only supports Wireless N. It's been in use since near the beginning of the covid pandemic (July 2020) and it's been very reliable! Did not need to load any drivers. Windows 10 recognized it and installed drivers for it. The machine it's plugged into only gets reboots once every 1-2 months and I've seen stats where it shows connected over a month. In fact, as I was testing some older routers where other wifi adapters had difficulty staying connected past 12 hours, this one stayed connected for several days. Very much a good investment for an older laptop!
Review: Excellent Wi-Fi Replacement for a Laptop - Easy to install and setup and worked right out of the box! Simple device, great signal, and no complaints with how well it works. The only downside is how long it is compared to other devices, but I think that is a worthy tradeoff for something that just works. Will consider getting another one if and when the time comes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you set up this adapter for Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. 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. Thank you.Edimax Tech Support

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised
*by C***I on 17 August 2019*

Works very well, unlike the "Killer" WiFi built into my laptop. It is also smaller than most USB WiFi adapters.
