Your laptop's built-in Wi-Fi's been flaky since the last firmware update, or you're using an older PC that only speaks N150 and your router's running Wi-Fi 6. This nano adapter sticks out less than a centimetre from the USB port, so it won't snap off when you shuffle your bag. It speaks 802.11ax at 2.4 GHz up to 286 Mbps, with backward compatibility down to 802.11b. On-board driver means no CD, no download, no IT ticket. Three grams. You'll forget it's there until the connection stops dropping. One thing to know: this is single-band, 2.4 GHz only. If you need 5 GHz speed, look at the NW831 instead
