Product Features

Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity

The DWA-X1850 supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, providing improved efficiency and wireless performance when connected to a compatible Wi-Fi 6 router or access point.

Wi-Fi 6 is particularly useful in environments where multiple wireless devices are connected simultaneously.

AX1800 Wireless Performance

The adapter delivers up to AX1800-class combined wireless speeds across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

This provides sufficient performance for applications such as:

• HD and 4K streaming
• Video conferencing
• Online gaming
• Large file transfers
• Web browsing
• Cloud applications

Actual speeds depend on the router, network conditions, USB interface, distance, interference, and connected device capabilities.

Dual-Band Wireless

The DWA-X1850 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands.

The 2.4 GHz band is useful for wider coverage, while the 5 GHz band generally provides higher performance and reduced congestion when used within suitable range.

USB Connectivity

The adapter connects directly to a compatible computer through USB, providing a convenient way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity without installing an internal PCIe network card.

Upgrade Older Computers

The DWA-X1850 can be useful for desktop and laptop computers that do not have built-in Wi-Fi 6. It provides an easy way to upgrade wireless capability using an external USB adapter.

Improved Network Efficiency

Wi-Fi 6 incorporates technologies designed to improve wireless network efficiency and performance, especially when multiple devices are competing for network resources.

Suitable for High-Bandwidth Applications

With AX1800-class performance, the adapter is suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, online meetings, cloud services, gaming, and large file transfers when paired with a suitable Wi-Fi 6 network.
