Review: It works great - Windows 10 didn’t recognize the device first time I plugged in, but after I installed the software from Asus website it worked great. I’m not aware of any bloatware. I ran some speed tests on my home 1 Gb Ethernet Wi-Fi network and the result is expected for USB 3.x and 802.11 ax adapter. The performance is slightly lower than a PCI express 802.11ax adapter, but it’s convenient and if you run out of PCI express slots. The build quality is great as expected from Asus. There’s ventilation and probably heat sink to handle the heat from high speed network. Updated, 9/14/22: It still works great with top speed for Wifi 6 speed. I benchmark it and it's close to 1Gbps speed. Be careful though, you have to push the top of the adapter all the way down to the base for it to work perfectly. If it's not all the way down, the device might be very slow to connect and operate at less than half the normal speed. Review: Solved my poor Wifi reception issue. - I have a compact PC mounted to the rear of a monitor and the Wifi reception was just abysmal in a room where the signal needed to go through 2 doors. I was able to stream 4K videos smoothy once I added this dedicated USB Wifi adapter. Note that you'd need to first install the bundled drivers (they show up on an external drive when you plug this in). I'm running Windows 11. ## Features - Instant upgrade to WiFi 6 – Boost your PC to 802.11ax standard via USB with speeds up to 1800 Mbps..OS Support : Windows 10, Windows 11 - Ultra-high efficiency – Enable faster transmission in high density environments with OFDMA, MU-MIMO and BSS Coloring. - Amplified signal – External antenna and cradle ensures powerful WiFi signal. - Supports WPA3 security – For enhanced WiFi security and more robust authentication. - Plug-and-play – Easy to use with wide operating system support. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09QQWQS1N | | Best Sellers Rank | #75,936 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #553 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | ASUS | | Built-In Media | External magnetic base, Quick Start Guide, USB-AX56 adapter, Warranty card | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Game Console, Laptop, Smart TV | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Game Console, Laptop, Smart TV | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 293 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | IEEE 802.11a | | Data Transfer Rate | 1800 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | IEEE 802.11a | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware interface | USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 11.5L x 3W x 1.8H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Adapter | | Item Weight | 41 g | | Manufacturer | ASUS | | Mfr Part Number | USB-AX56 | | Model Number | USB-AX56 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product dimensions | 11.5L x 3W x 1.8H centimeters | | UPC | 195553022163 195553259675 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASUS - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Game Console, Laptop, Smart TV - **Hardware interface:** USB - **Product dimensions:** 11.5L x 3W x 1.8H centimeters ## Images ![ASUS WiFi 6 AX1800 USB WiFi Adapter USB AX56 Dual Band WiFi 6 Client, 2x2 Support, Gaming & Streaming, Plug and Play, WPA3 Network Security, MU MIMO, Beamforming, Black, 4.5"x1.2"x0.7" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QylRyerKL.jpg) ![ASUS WiFi 6 AX1800 USB WiFi Adapter USB AX56 Dual Band WiFi 6 Client, 2x2 Support, Gaming & Streaming, Plug and Play, WPA3 Network Security, MU MIMO, Beamforming, Black, 4.5"x1.2"x0.7" - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WRM0mAxUL.jpg) ![ASUS WiFi 6 AX1800 USB WiFi Adapter USB AX56 Dual Band WiFi 6 Client, 2x2 Support, Gaming & Streaming, Plug and Play, WPA3 Network Security, MU MIMO, Beamforming, Black, 4.5"x1.2"x0.7" - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b5Muo3KdL.jpg) ![ASUS WiFi 6 AX1800 USB WiFi Adapter USB AX56 Dual Band WiFi 6 Client, 2x2 Support, Gaming & Streaming, Plug and Play, WPA3 Network Security, MU MIMO, Beamforming, Black, 4.5"x1.2"x0.7" - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61egWlAIj5L.jpg) ![ASUS WiFi 6 AX1800 USB WiFi Adapter USB AX56 Dual Band WiFi 6 Client, 2x2 Support, Gaming & Streaming, Plug and Play, WPA3 Network Security, MU MIMO, Beamforming, Black, 4.5"x1.2"x0.7" - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iJ06MCsWL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work for linux?** A: No **Q: Does this support 160mhz?** A: Yes, it does. **Q: Where can I buy a replacement base?
