D-Link AX9U - Wi-Fi 6 USB adapter, White

The D-Link AX9U AX900 Wi-Fi 6 USB adapter adds Wi-Fi 6 connectivity to desktop PCs and laptops that lack built-in wireless hardware. The dongle connects via a standard USB 2.0 interface. It allows the host computer to use the 802.11ax standard, reaching a maximum data transfer rate of 861 Mbit/s. It is a straightforward way to improve network performance in busy home or office environments.

The adapter also includes Bluetooth 5.3 for pairing wireless peripherals without needing a secondary expansion card. The white housing weighs 5.5 grams and measures 38.65 mm in length, keeping it unobtrusive when plugged into a laptop. A single internal antenna provides signal reception while maintaining a small exterior profile. Installation is plug-and-play, and the device draws power from the host connection. The adapter is compatible only with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
