Performance

​Performance

If your network speeds are currently limited by slow WiFi or a 100Mbps (10/100) network adapter in your computer, this adapter can provide up to 250-300 Mbps on networks that support these speeds.

Please note that ultimately, your Internet Service Provider's maximum speed will determine the upper level of performance. Speeds can also be limited by other computers on the network, excessive traffic on a cable connection, or network cabling and devices like switches or routers that don't support higher network speeds.

This adapter will also allow 100Mbps (10/100) networks to transfer data at their fastest available speed.
