FAQs

What is the maximum speed I can expect?

The adapter supports speeds up to 1800 Mbps, but the actual speed depends on your router, internet plan, and environmental factors.

Does this adapter support USB 2.0?

Yes, it is compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.0, but the performance will be limited compared to USB 3.2 Gen 1.

How do I install the drivers?

The drivers may install automatically. If not, download them from the MSI website and follow the installation instructions.

Can I use this with a non-Wi-Fi 6 router?

Yes, but you will not get the full benefits of Wi-Fi 6. The adapter will still work but will connect using the older Wi-Fi standards supported by your router.

What is beamforming?

Beamforming directs the Wi-Fi signal towards your router to improve reception and signal strength.

Is WPA3 secure?

Yes, WPA3 provides enhanced security and more robust authentication protocols compared to older standards.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on the product packaging and on the adapter itself.

Troubleshooting

Adapter not detected by the computer.

Ensure the adapter is properly plugged into a USB port and try a different port. Reinstall drivers if necessary.

Slow internet speeds.

Check your router's settings and ensure it supports Wi-Fi 6. Position the adapter and antenna for optimal signal strength, and consider moving the adapter closer to the router.
