BrosTrend 1200Mbps Long Range USB WiFi Adapter for PC Desktop Laptop of Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Wireless Adapter Dual Band 2.4GHz 300Mbps + 5GHz 867Mbps, 2X 5dBi High Gain…

Recently changed WFI Router to a NetGear Nigh Hawk 10gb. Crazy cool Software it uses lets you chose between 2.5 and 5G Htz. However, on the Wireless signal at 5 g its signal strength weakens as to be expected for wireless. I invested in this gadget to see what it could do on the 5G frequency.
After installing the driver and rebooting the system make sure you go into the RealTech software and chose your Network. I ran the speed test before and after the Install.
Before Speed Test results were as follows.

Before: Download was 110 mb Upload was around 12mg.

After : 426 Download and 25 mg upload
Integrity and stability of the wireless signal went to 100%

These results are impressive needless to say., However for you Tech savy guys and girls get a load of this further finding. I for grins and giggles unplugged the wireless adapter and restarted the Laptop, ran the test again without the device, IT KEPT THE Download and Upload speeds, never lost transfer speeds.
What does this mean? Well, I would have to speculate that the Driver I installed for the new device also fixed the REALTECK onboard the Motherboard, The Driver seems to have improved the Onboard Wireless card seeing how it also is a Realtek device, that’s the only logical reason this would happen this way, HOWEVER, il keep using the Device because it improves both Signal strength and integrity of the signal at 100% WOW I went back to school today! 🙂

Worth every dime I never needed to call tech support so I cant rate that, everything else is 5 stars.

For the money . It works well and was very easy to install

Something is legitimately wrong with this product. After many network monitoring tests, I have concluded that only one of these antenna adapters actually works. Both antennas are fine, but only one plug is active. This might not be that big of a deal if it wasn’t for the fact that the single antenna port that works, has a horrible signal. It’s about 3x worse than my laptops built in wifi card. Less than ten ft away from my router, yields a signal strength of 90db + (no matter what orientation of the 1 working antenna port). Switching over to my built in wifi card, shows a signal strength of 25db in same location. For reference, I did update the drivers on Windows 10. I’ve also tried this adapter on two Windows 10 computers with the exact same results. Maybe I got a lemon or something, but for this kind of product to pass quality control, should make anyone think twice about purchasing. My 10 year old (54mbps) adapter (no external antenna’s) easily gets better signal strength and more networks. Returning promptly, it’s a really horrible product..

Edit: I’ve run a few more tests. I’m within 3 feet of my router right now, and the signal strength is, at best, 74 db. I think this device is causing destructive interference wifi patterns on itself. It’s the only thing that makes any sense. I’d love to open it up and see if I can fix it with a quick solder, but I want my 25 bucks back.

EDIT: Bought a second one 2 months after initial review and can say with 100% certainty that the right antenna connection on both units only SLIGHTLY enhances 5GHz signal (comparing to using w/ no antenna). The left antenna, increases both 2.4 and 5GHz bands, while the right antenna connector shows absolutely no 2.4GHz bands whatsoever (aside from being 3 feet away from a 2.4GHz router.. This must be a mass manufactured defect in either all, a particular batch, or (even worse) by design. It’s hard to believe that 2 units purchased months apart would have been from the same batch… I suggest that if you do own this product, to test connection signal strength with only one antenna connected to the right side port and report in your reviews/comment here if you observe the same results. I’ll attach images to show the data on signal strength with all combinations of possible antenna configurations (i.e. no antenna – left only – right only – both).

I’ve tested the individual antenna that came with this, separately on a a Panda wifi adapter. Surprisingly, they are very good antennas when used with another adapter. The main body is messed up in these and can’t utilize the antennas power. I took apart on of the antenna and can verify that the actual antenna (internals) are build correctly and with good quality.

My suggestion from this though, is to just go with the Panda Wireless PAU09 N600 Dual Band. The Panda unit works really well. Plus it works with Kali Linux.

I took an hour combining tests for this review because I have come to hate this product and the company who makes them (I gave them a chance, but decided to keep the defective unit(s) and throw them a hard up middle-finger).. After contacting support to inform them of a dead-on-arrival product(purchase #1), they requested that I pay to ship it back to them, and then wait 2-4 weeks for a replacement to be sent from China. WTF is up with that??? Their idea of this situation is that a customer is supposed to pay for a problem the company should bear 100% responsibility for. Anyways screw this company and this product. Let the data speak for itself. Here’s the product you should buy though:

Antenna USB 3 per ricevere in wi-fi molto potente e di facile utilizzo.

I have been having real issues with my internet signal on my 2 year old desktop PC . It has been more of an issue since we had fibre optic installed in our village and I changed provider. The Pc is 5m from the router in line of sight and phones test at 148mbps as well as my tablet. So having checked out various options to change the wirless card I chose to disable my wireless card and plug the BrosTrend USB WiFi Dongle 1200Mbps Long Range. Its changed my life. No stress of bank websites buffering or other websites timing out. A simple plug in solution good price and 149mbps rather than 30mbps to Nil. Thank you
