Decided to move from 2.4ghz to 5ghz on my computer because since having the NBN, the supplied router supports 5ghz and I was not getting the full speed of the internet from 2.4ghz WiFi. You can pickup from in store to save on postage.

    I know the link from OP is a dual band receiver but I grabbed one of these 2.4GHz units from this post back in December.

    Works nicely, cannot complain for the price (AU$2.70 delivered).

      I have a few 2.4ghz usb wifi lying unused now. It's possible to get full NBN speeds on 2.4 but you would need wideband, be close to the router and have low interference, 5ghz works much better.

      • bopter12 on 17/01/2021 - 10:09

        Yeah I completely agree. I've got 100/20 Mbps FTTP but the 2.4GHz dongle maxes out around ~40 Mbps from memory (only tested to verify it works).

          Good if you're only on a 40Mbps plan though
          2.4Ghz has lower speed but longer range.

    Many 600mbps AX Nano USB units on ebay for around $8 delivered.

    Also "Upgrades PC or Mac to the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology with 5GHz support" - ax or wifi 6 is the latest spec not ac.

    Shipping was $9.90 for me which kills the deal.

    Are these comparable to the wifi cards you slot into PCI slots? Computer is upstairs while router downstairs.

      I tend to prefer USB dongles as you can put them on an extension cable & place them to get a better signal (rather than all the metal that surrounds the external antenna of a PCI card.

      • chillipaste on 17/01/2021 - 20:29

        That's a great idea.

      • rh on 17/01/2021 - 21:12

        neat idea
