Product Features

AC1300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi

The UGREEN UG-50340 supports AC1300 wireless networking across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. It delivers theoretical wireless speeds of up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz for a combined maximum of up to 1300 Mbps.

5 GHz High-Speed Connection

The 5 GHz band provides speeds of up to 867 Mbps and is suitable for bandwidth-intensive activities such as HD video streaming, online gaming, large file transfers, and video conferencing when paired with a compatible wireless router.

2.4 GHz Extended Coverage

The 2.4 GHz band supports speeds of up to 400 Mbps and generally offers greater range than 5 GHz, making it useful for devices located farther from the router or in environments where wider coverage is preferred.

USB 3.0 Interface

The adapter uses USB 3.0 to provide a high-speed connection to a compatible computer. The USB 3.0 interface helps the adapter make better use of its available wireless bandwidth compared with older USB interfaces.

Built-In Antenna

An integrated antenna helps receive and transmit wireless signals without requiring a separate external antenna, keeping the adapter convenient for desktop and laptop use.

WPS Button

The built-in WPS button allows compatible wireless networks to be connected quickly without manually entering the Wi-Fi password, provided the router also supports WPS.

Wireless Security

The UGREEN UG-50340 supports WPA and WPA2 wireless encryption, providing protection for wireless communications when connected to a properly secured compatible network.

Windows and macOS Compatibility

The adapter supports a range of Windows operating systems, including Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7. It also supports selected macOS versions with the appropriate driver. Windows 11 and Windows 10 are listed as driver-free in some current product listings, while older operating systems may require driver installation.

Plug-In Wireless Upgrade

The USB design provides a convenient way to add Wi-Fi to a desktop computer without built-in wireless connectivity or upgrade the wireless capabilities of a compatible laptop.

Suitable for Streaming and Gaming

The dual-band AC1300 connection is suitable for demanding everyday activities including HD streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, web browsing, downloads, and file transfers. Actual performance depends on the router, signal strength, network traffic, interference, and other environmental factors.

Compact and Portable Design
