Product Description

Model: AC1200

The Edimax EW-7822UAC USB 3.0 adapter is the next generation of Wi-Fi adapter, compatible with the draft 802.11ac standard and delivering speeds of up to 867Mbps at 5GHz - almost three times as fast as 802.11n. The EW-7822AC is the first adapter of its kind to offer 802.11ac speeds together with USB 3.0 connectivity. Upgrade PCâ€™s and notebooks to super high speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi and enjoy streaming video and data at speeds of up to 867Mbps.

USB 3.0 is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and specifies a maximum transmission speed of up to 5Gbps. Providing quicker data transmission times, and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 (which specifies a maximum speed of 480Mbps), USB 3.0 is the new standard in connectivity â€“ enabling devices to achieve the superfast speeds which 802.11ac can provide.

Dual-band Connectivity

Enjoy better performance and greater flexibility for your Wi-Fi devices, using dual-band connectivity. The EW-7822UAC provides concurrent connectivity for the 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band at speeds of 300Mbps and 867Mbps respectively.

Download and Stream Anywhere

Use the EW-7822UAC to download and stream media from YouTube, Netflix or other services without waiting for buffering, or stream media across your network from a NAS (network-attached storage) at lightning speeds. Streaming HD movies or downloading is faster and more reliable than ever with 802.11ac Wi-Fi.

Adjustable Foldaway Antenna

The EW-7822UACâ€™s sleek design features an adjustable foldaway antenna, allowing users to adjust the antennaâ€™s angle for optimum Wi-Fi performance and fold back the antenna to minimize size when itâ€™s not in use."

After two weeks, it just stopped working.

Maxy Paxy

The file transfer speeds were very fast, and the adapter was able to pick up the WiFi signal much better than the internal WiFi antennas.

Dr. Bojan Tunguz

This a great solution if you are looking to make use from the 5GHz band and AC speeds from a newer router.

A very fast USB WIFI adapter with dual bands and uses USB 3.0 speeds!

By JJCEO #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER on July 27, 2013

Style Name: AC1200

Length: 6:04 Mins

This is a very fast WIFI adapter with dual bands that utilizes the capabilities of a USB 3.0 port. It is also downward compatible with USB 2.0. Inside of the box you will find the adapter, a mini CD with drivers and an electronic version of the quick installation guide and a printed quick installation guide. The adapter is small with a pop up antenna and it weighs ¾ of an ounce.

The unit also features a WPS (WIFI protected setup) button on the side to help you quickly link it to your wireless router. I actually installed it onto a large tower computer that does not have wireless and it is connected to a 1 Gbps Ethernet network. I did this to use the capability of the USB 3.0 port and to compare the speed of the WIFI adapter to the 1 Gbps wireless network system. The speed using the 2.4 GHz channel was virtually identical to the wired network speeds. I did not test the 5 GHz band as my large tower computer is in a second office in my home and it is out of range from my 5 GHz WIFI signal.

My experience shows that 2.4 GHz has a much further transmission distance and passes its signal through walls much better than the 5 GHz band. The 5 GHz band is much faster but you have to be pretty close to the 5GHz WIFI router and not have too many walls between you and the source. I use it to stream video to a 60 inch TV in the bedroom that is only 35 feet from the router but for long distances you should just forget it.

The adapter has the capability to use 64 and 128 bit WEP/WPA and WPA2 security and I recommend WPA2 with a secure passcode to prevent WIFI piracy. If you are installing this adapter onto a computer that has an existing WIFI then you should disable the other WIFI before installing this one.Read more ›

Convenient, Fast, Easy to Install

By Dr. Bojan Tunguz HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on December 2, 2013

Style Name: AC600

I got this WiFi adapter primarily in order to take advantage of my new 802.11ac capable Netgear router. None of my laptops are capable of supporting these latest high-speed wireless standards, and I am not due for an upgrade for at least another year or so. So it's nice to have this convenient and inexpensive interim solution.

The USB adapter is really small, barely larger than the smallest Bluetooth adapters that I had come across. It has a small keychain hole at its end, and thanks to this feature and its compact size it is very portable. The USB connection is neither too loose nor too stiff, and it attaches very firmly and securely to any of the USB ports that i had tried it with.

The installation software comes on a small-sized CD rom drive. This is a bit inconvenient, as many ultrabooks and laptops these days don't come with a CD ROM. Among those that do, many don't have a CD-loading tray that you open, but rely on inserting the CD into the automatically-loading CD/DVD slot, which oftentimes doesn't work with the small-sized optical media. I think that having another small, inexpensive USB stick with the required software would have made much more sense as a way of distributing the requisite drivers.

Installing the driver software was very straightforward. The CD ROM comes with software for Mac, Windows (various flavors), and Linux OS. I've installed the software on an old Windows XP netbook and a three year old MacBook Air running Mavericks. It worked well with both of those machines. The installation instructions were easy to read and follow, and they were very clear about each step of the installation process. The CD ROM comes with additional instructions in multiple languages.Read more ›

Works great after it is set up properly!

By Alex on January 14, 2014

Style Name: AC1200 Verified Purchase

Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews anywhere this thing is honestly one of the fastest adapters out right now.

Let me first say I had a really hard time getting this thing to work how I wanted it to. Partly because I didn't contact Edimax customer service sooner, and partly because I have had no prior wireless networking experience and was just messing around with settings. If you are having problems, send them a detailed e-mail and if it is Mon-Fri they will contact you quickly (normally within an hour in my experience) and give you a detailed response on how to fix it.

I have this running on Windows 7 64 bit OS and I have a Gigabyte UD3 990FXA motherboard. Paired with my new ASUS AC56U router I am getting solid 867 MBPS connection. This adapter really is amazing.

I really wanted to pound this thing so (IF WE WANTED TO) we could play a movie over 4G or a WIFI hot spot through plex if someone was traveling while my wife and daughter could stream movies, download stuff, play games, basically do whatever they felt like on or from the computer without it effecting the highest quality connection.Read more ›
