ALFA AWUS036ACS combines high speed 802.11ac technology with an RP-SMA external antenna port at one low cost. It is a 600 Mbps Wi-Fi USB adapter compatible with Windows XP through Windows 10. It features a small profile with external RP-SMA antenna port and one dual-band mini detachable antenna.
AWUS036ACS is capable of receiving and transmitting on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. With 802.11ac standard routers, AWUS036EAC can achieve throughput speeds up to 433 Mbps, to keep up with today's bandwidth demands. This adapter is backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11n networks. An 802.11ac router is required for the maximum throughput.
This product is compatible with ALFA dual band panel antenna APA-M25.
Your 802.11ac router will perform optimally when all of your computers are on the AC standard, so this is a great low-cost way to upgrade them all. This is brand new in retail box and includes the adapter, driver CD, and dual band mini antenna as shown in the picture. We buy direct from ALFA and are an authorized retailer of ALFA products.
