What is the difference between this item and other two Edimax 150 Mbps wi fi adapters that are listed, that seem real similar?

Two of them looked exactly the same to me and the other was the earlier "draft" N protocol. I bought this for my Raspberry Pi, but put it in a desktop because my D-Link wasn't responding. It's been there ever since. I will buy another for my Pi.

They're very similar -- they just have minor hardware revisions. I wouldn't recommend this one, as I've had nothing but problems with it.

For those looking at this, take a look at the actual tenda ($15) Tenda router and judge for yourself: http://www.microcenter.com/product/381840/W368R_Wireless-N_Broadband_Router

Hello Mr. Bell - I'm not sure if there is any difference in the model, but I have been using with Time Warner Cable for quite some time & it's working absolutely fine. It's worth buying this instead of paying five bucks every month.

I found it to be exactly the same. The only difference being the gigabit WAN support. Old one would top out at ~70 and this one easily handles our 100/20

I think the adapter is superior in terms of consistency and reliability. I have used the dongle. It is easier to install, plug and play. The trade off is a lot of disconnects vs. the card. I have had no drops or disconnects with the card.

Sorry Maurice, no idea. I bought two of those adapters, one crapped out, and the other barely functions. I replaced the dead one with Linksys WES610N 4-Port Dual-Band N Entertainment Bridge and it works great, I can plug my xbox & blue ray player into it, as well as the wifi boost.

I was using a older Linskys, but recently replaced it with the much faster new ASUS AC-68U router. This one has the adjustable 80 to 200 mw WiFi power that you can adjust or turn-off if you want. I'm using the same four Cat-5 cables I used on the old setup so I don't use the wireless feature due to the other 2.4 interference I get from my other equipment. The ASUS router was simple and fast to set up. This one includes the easy to connect Wireless WPS button as i'm sure most of the new brands of routers includes this feature. I also like this one as it has a WiFi shutoff button when your not using it's wireless feature. I was using a older Linskys, but recently replaced it with the much faster new ASUS AC-68U router.

USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. So they aren't lying when they say it will work with a USB 3.0 port. Misleading, but not technically lying. The A6200 Rev A1 uses the Broadcom BCM43526, so it is definitely USB2.0. If you want Netgear with USB3.0 you need the A6210. According to wikidev, there *might* be a Rev 2 version on the A6200 in the works, which would use the Realtek 8812AU. That one would be USB 3.0.Or you can get a different brand. The Edimax is well regarded. I have an Alfa adapter.(I'm also buying one of these because it is well supported by the Acrylic NDIS driver. If you don't know why that matters, then you don't need to worry about it. It's ubergeek stuff.) USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0.

No, you will have 2 WiFi adapters on your PC and actually you can get connected to either one or both and get more throughput. (150 Mbps "original/internal" adapter + 300 Mbps external adapter = 450 Mbps)

Theres pretty easy directions (to follow). I imagine if you're using it wired, you wont have some of the problems that other people (including myself) are having with its wireless properties. I'm going to retire mine and buy a wifi access point instead. So, basically, USED EDIMAX -7228APn for sale!From what you explained, however, all you really need is a switch TP-LINK TL-SF1005D 5-port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch for $10.

I unfortunately had to return them, they simply did not work. From NewEgg I got ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express 300/300Mbps Transfer/Receive Rate 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPS support instead and they worked right away, and not much more expensive. Hope this helps.

The iX6820 is just the iX6520 with wireless. I have both models, one at work and one at home. The graphic quality is exactly the same. Again the newer model is just with wireless added.

This item nor does the slightly cheaper and smaller model operate at Gigabit speeds (1,000 Mb/s). However, unless your WAN and LAN connections operate at this speed you won't see much of a difference. For that operational functionality you will have to purchase the TP-LINK TL-ER5120 model. It is currently available on Amazon.com, it is however a bit more expensive then the R480T+ model.

I am not sure to be honest, but it screw into your Wi Fi adapter and then you can screw your antenna on the other end of it. I ran mine up and over my window frame and signal strength went up and the speed also from around 70 mbps to between 120-150 mbps. It is a cheap and great way to boost signal strength. I would give it 5 stars, but you do have to play around with the antenna on the end after you have strung it out and look for the sweet spot. Once you have found that you are good to go as long as nothing gets moved or bumped.

Cisco my have more information on their site about the product. I brought the Linksys AE3000 N900 dual band USB wireless adapter, this is for HD video and gaming I love it and will buy a few for the other wireless devices in my home. I also have the Cisco E4200 to pair it with. The speed is up to 450Mbps. I hope this helps you out

This is a dual-band compatible adapter. I have a Netgear Centria WNDR4700 which gives out 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ bands and both of these are picked up by the Edimax adapter.
