Remember, KZbin takes 15-20mins to encode videos in all resolutions. So if you are seeing 240p etc, give it a few minutes for KZbin to catch up!

Thanks for the review NAS - very fair as always!

[@nascompares]

No worries. Currently stood out in the cold, doing a 5G mobile router test with one of your competitors mobile 5G/AX routers BUT using the DWA-X1850 to show much fuller bandwidth, as it definitely outpaced my laptop internal WiFi6 adapter - top notch. I look forward to sharing the video here soon

MAC osx support?

Hello, when I connected the key to my pc I did not have a pop up. And sometimes when I play the key disconnects or whatever, I think it's because I didn't download the setup. Thanks if you can help me

[@SpurnOfHumanity]

I barely get faster download speed on this thing than before. My smartphone is getting about 250 right now compared to my PC getting like 80 down while using this D-Link adapter connected to the same wifi. And yes, it's plugged into a USB 3 plug.

This works a treat with the Huawei AX3 Pro Quad Core router - though it was cheaper to buy from Amazon UK as opposed to Amazon AU

[@rockzors]

Been a while since I looked at it but does wifi 6 speeds add up and down speeds to get 1.2gbps? So each is really just 600mbps?

[@hassanelmuz7711]

looking for a wifi 6 to network adapter ! or something that would work with a docking station !

[@EasternAmerica]

Thanks for this. Do I need to buy a new modem and wifi 6 wifi router also, or will the adapter for my PC dramatically increase speed so my quest 2 have less lag with my VR PC?

[@tommyjensen2086]

Does it work on a ps5?🤔

[@christinec.2376]

thank you.. I'm not tech saavy, but i'm moving to central america, and think this may become necessary in some parts.. your thoughts? $61 on amazon. :/

[@whatsgoodearth]

just got an asus RT-Ax58U router and ill soon get this adapter for my laptop. can't wait. does ps5 support wifi 6?

[@whatsgoodearth]

ps5 works with it

[@TheTriPl3KilL]

hey great video would like to know is it stable?

[@somebodymee6535]

My laptop suddenly stopped seeing any Wifi and the Wifi drivers are missing. It’s an older model Toshiba, I’ve had it for about 9 years. Will this help my laptop start to see Wifi again even with the drivers missing in the laptop? I have NBN internet connection.

[@IAmZen_007]

Why don’t use an internal Iperf server??

[@micksmithson6724]

BTW with QTS5 supporting the Coral AI Accelerator, (even the USB version for those owners with USB slots only), any chance of a review and some benchmarks? TY

[@nascompares]

Got the M.2 TPU sitting right on the shelf next to my PC. Just been busy with QTS 5 Beginner guides that I have in the works to crack on with it. Apologies for the delay.

[@micksmithson6724]

@@nascompares No need to apologise, I'm looking forward to the review :)

[@phakdeeproduction9677]

[@ivanbulanov5754]

Upgrade your router

[@astus2175]

You have make sure your existing router supports WiFi 6 also

[@Mac-rp5gk]

Do you need a WiFi 6 router aswell for this to be useful?

[@releasethe01]

yes

[@whatsgoodearth]

obviously
