MU-MIMO support allows you to get the most from any Wave 2 Wi-Fi routers, for optimised network efficiency and performance.

802.11ac Wave 2 for Improved Performance

The DWA-182 AC1300 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi USB Adapter features the updated 802.11ac Wave 2 specification, which improves on the bandwidth and speed of 802.11ac Wave 1. The new and improved specification increases maximum speeds for the 5 GHz band and adds more channels for higher speeds and less RF interference.

Interference-Free Bandwidth

The DWA-182 AC1300 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi USB Adapter delivers Dual Band MU-MIMO technology to your home network for intelligent, versatile, interference-free bandwidth. Check your email and surf the Internet on the 2.4 GHz band; or play online games, make VoIP calls, and stream HD movies to multiple devices using the cleaner, interference-free 5 GHz band.

USB 3.0 for Maximum Data Transfer Speeds

The DWA-182 also supports the high-speed USB 3.0 specification. When connected to a compatible USB 3.0 device and using the 5 GHz wireless band, the device will automatically switch to USB 3.0 mode, allowing you to achieve the highest possible data transfer rates and fully utilise the speed benefits of the Wireless AC Wave 2 standard.
Add Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and 3 USB 3.0 Hub ports to a computer through a single SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port

The ST3300U3S USB 3.0 Gigabit Network Adapter turns a single SuperSpeed USB 3.0 host connection port into an RJ45 Gigabit network port as well as three additional USB 3.0 hub ports.

Unlike a USB 2.0-based adapter, this USB 3.0-based NIC lets you connect to your home or office network at full Gigabit bandwidth, with support for 10/100/1000Mbps. Plus, with support for features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN (WoL), this versatile network adapter offers a comprehensive Gigabit network solution.

On top of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the adapter also adds three USB 3.0 hub ports to your system, which allow you to connect external storage or other USB peripherals locally to the host computer. The hub ports support USB 3.0 speeds of up to 5 Gbps, as well as fast charging for mobile devices (e.g. iPhone®; iPad® and most Android™ devices).

Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.x standards, the Gigabit Adapter/USB 3.0 hub will still support older USB devices and can also be used with an older system that does not have USB 3.0 ports (network speed limited by USB 1.x/2.0 bus), allowing you to mix and match USB 3.0/2.0/1.x devices. For further portability, the adapters can be used with or without the included external power adapter, eliminating the hassle of having to find an available wall outlet.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
