If you\u2019ve been experiencing this problem with your laptop, then it\u2019s time you upgraded. And no, we\u2019re not talking about buying a new laptop. We\u2019re talking about getting an external laptop Wi-Fi adapter that will boost your router\u2019s signal and ensure a fast and reliable connection whenever you need it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how does one go about choosing the best Wi-Fi adapter? Well, let\u2019s take it a step at a time, shall we?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What kind of Wi-Fi Adapter do You Need?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need one that uses the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3238664\/80211-wi-fi-standards-and-speeds-explained.html\">wireless standard &#8211; 802.11ac<\/a>? Or do you require something that will work with an 802.11n device? The wireless protocol used by your router should be the same as what your USB Wi-Fi adapter supports. Or, at the very least, it should be compatible. If you have an old 802.11a router, you will have to make sure that your adapter is backward compatible. Otherwise, it won\u2019t work. One of our picks, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00MRVJY1G?tag=web2know-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NETGEAR AC1200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is compatible with 802.11 a\/b\/g\/n routers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the wireless protocol of a router and adapter helps determine the maximum signal range that can be reached. For example, an 802.11ac device can reach up to 150 feet indoors and 300 feet outdoors on a 2.4Ghz network. Older models can only reach a third of this distance. This means that the larger area of coverage you need (read: the bigger the house you have), the more current your wireless protocol should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Generation USB Port does the Device Plug into?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have heard about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partitionwizard.com\/partitionmagic\/usb-2-0-vs-usb-3-0-006.html\">USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports<\/a>. What these two types of ports determine is how fast the data transfer rate will be. Theoretically, the max speed for USB 2.0 is 60MB\/s. If your router has a max speed equal to or lower than this transfer rate, then you don\u2019t need a USB 3.0 device (which has a max speed of 640M\/Bs). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you have an 802.11ac router and an internet speed of 1 Gb\/s, then you need to look for a device that uses USB 3.0. Or, if you regularly do large file transfers over LAN, then the USB 3.0 is your best bet. You might have noticed that a lot of our picks use the USB 3.0 port such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01MR6M8EC?tag=web2know-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TP-LINK AC1300 Wireless Wi-Fi USB 3.0 Adapter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00FB45USW?tag=web2know-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asus (USB-AC56) Dual-band Wireless-AC1300 USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do You Need A Device with an Antenna?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all laptop Wi-Fi adapters are created equal. A device that features an external antenna isn\u2019t necessarily going to be better than one that has internal ones. But if there are going to be walls and floors between you and your router, you may want to get one that has a high-gain antenna or two. Even better, you might be interested in buying a device that has removable antennas so you can easily upgrade your signal strength if needed. Get a good antenna &#8211; not an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awebtoknow.com\/reviews\/best-outdoor-tv-antennas\/\">outdoor TV antenna<\/a>&#8211; but one built for Wi-Fi adapters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some good examples of an adapter with these features include the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00MX57AO4?tag=web2know-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alfa Long-Range Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Of course, external antennas decrease a device\u2019s portability. Even when folded, these \u201climbs\u201d make the device bulky and easily bumped.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is the Adapter Compatible with Your Laptop\u2019s OS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Install and Set Up a Wireless Adapter (Windows)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HYowzxX0w3g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After everything has been settled to your satisfaction, the last thing (but by no means the list) you should look at is what operating systems do they support. Getting a bestselling Wi-Fi adapter isn\u2019t going to do you any good if it won\u2019t install on your laptop. Also, make sure that you know where to find the drivers of your device to make setup easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a laptop Wi-Fi adapter is the perfect solution for those who wish for a reliable and fast internet connection at a really affordable price. You just have to know what to look for.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have been searching for the best laptop Wi-Fi adapter for a while and now it is time to choose one.
