How do the PC WiFi USB sticks work.

1.15K views

I was looking on amazon and noticed these WiFi usb sticks. They boast high speeds for low costs, so I was wondering if they actually have $30 high speed WiFi with no additional cost or simply provide a faster connection to my previously existing WiFi.

They contain a WIFI chip and antenna. In many cases (especially on older or cheap laptops) the manufacturer may have chosen poor quality components for WIFI to save cost. Buying a good quality, high end usb one may give you much better performance in such a case.

It’s best to do your research, if you have WIFI issues, often the problem is not on the side of the client, but rather the access point. Often the chip inside a USB WIFI adapter is also of poor quality, so if you go this route check the reviews and don’t go too cheap.
