Title: Best 802.11AC USB Adapter for Windows 8
Post by: obelix74 on August 23, 2014, 04:55:23 pm

Hi

What's the best USB 802.11AC compliant adapter that works with Almond+ with Windows 8?

I'm afraid we don't have a complete list yet, but we've tested devices from Netgear, D-Link and Edimax so far. I'd suggest considering USB 3.0 dongles as you can go up to 866Mbps on those.

Something like this?

Yeah, that should do the trick and it looks like the one we have in the office.
I can't vouch for their drivers/software though as I haven't used it myself.
As we're winding down the shipments now, I'll get one of the guys testing some adapters.

Hey

Any updates?  I'm waiting for some confirmation from you guys before I buy this.  Love the Almond+ BTW.

If you have a laptop and don't mind a little surgery, the Intel 7260 card works nicely.
