UGREEN AX1800 High-Gain Dual Band Wireless Adapter (Wi-Fi 6)

The UGREEN AX1800 USB adapter is a compact Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) client dongle that upgrades desktops and laptops lacking a modern wireless module. It’s suited for web browsing, video calls and streaming on 5 GHz, and benefits from Wi‑Fi 6 features in congested networks to improve efficiency.

The adapter supports dual‑band operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with theoretical link rates up to 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz, connects via USB‑A 3.0 and uses built‑in antennas. A Windows installer is provided on the device; documentation also notes conditional Linux support. This makes it an easy way to add Wi‑Fi 6 performance without internal upgrades.
