Overview

Using its USB 3.0 port, connect your Windows-compatible desktop or notebook computer to dual band 802.11ac wireless networks, as well as 802.11a/b/g/n networks with the AC1200 Wireless Dual Band USB 3.0 Adapter from TP-LINK. Dual band support allows you to connect to networks supporting 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies. 5 GHz frequencies allow compatible devices to take advantage of data transfer speeds of up to 867 Mbps for HD video streaming and online gaming. The 2.4 GHz frequency provides data transfer speeds of up to 300 Mbps and allows users to engage in less-intensive web tasks, such as web browsing.

For those who are concerned about a USB Wi-Fi adapter not having a strong range, the AC1200's omni directional antenna will help to increase the strength and range of your wireless signal. Additionally, the integrated wireless security supports 64- and 128-bit WEP, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, and 802.1x encryption standards, as well as ad-hoc and infrastructure modes. For simpler network encryption setup, the router includes a WPS button and a wireless setup utility helps to simplify initial network setup. The AC1200 is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and includes a resource disc, a quick installation guide, and a USB extension cable.

802.11ac Wi-Fi
    TP-LINK's Archer T4U comes with the Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac, which is up to three times faster than wireless N speeds. With wireless speeds up to 867 Mbps over the 5 GHz band or 300 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, the Archer T4U is designed for HD streaming, online gaming, and tasks that require high bandwidth

AC1200 Wireless Speed
    The 5 GHz 867 Mbps band is designed for HD video streaming and online gaming, while the 2.4 GHz 300 Mbps band is designed for less intensive tasks such as web surfing

USB 3.0
    Experience data transfers of up to 4.8 Gbps with USB 3.0. USB 3.0 transfers data up to ten times faster than USB 2.0 and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0. This high-speed transfer rate combined with 802.11ac works well with HD streaming, online gaming, and large file downloads

The Best of Both Bands
    TP-LINK's Archer T4U is a dual band USB Adapter that provides selectable 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands for standard and backward compatibility to existing Wi-Fi networks. It gives users the ability to access 5 GHz connections to upgrade their computer's wireless capabilities, while helping to ensure that they can still access legacy 2.4 GHz band wireless networks

WPA / WPA2 Encryptions - Advanced Security
    The T2U provides WPA/WPA2 encryptions, including WEP (64 and 128-bit), WPA, and PA2/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES). All of these help promote interoperability and security for WLAN, which helps to protect wireless networks

Bundled USB Extension Cable
