About this deal

Of course, in an era where even your fridge or car can boast Wi-Fi, its increasingly rare that a device doesn't include built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. That doesn't render the wireless adapter obsolete. Far from it, in fact. Instead, with Wi-Fi tech constantly improving, the latest adapters can be used to upgrade your device's existing Wi-Fi speed, or improve poor connectivity. How to choose the best wireless adapter for you As mentioned above, frequency is an important consideration, and so we've noted where adapters offer the versatility of dual band. We've also described where adapters are light and portable, or better off staying put once installed. Ease of installation has also been tested, and we've warned where some level of expertise may be required. If cost is a concern, you'll need to consider what you can afford to spend on upgrading your wireless, while size and portability is another consideration. If it's for your desktop home PC, you're unlikely to be too fussed about your adapter being compact and portable. But if you're regularly travelling for work and need your adapter to hand everywhere you go, then some of the smaller and lighter models in this list should be your first port of call. The best wireless adapter: How we test Quite simply, the best wireless adapters bring Wi-Fi to hardware that didn't previously have an in-built way to connect to it. This can come in the form of a USB device that plugs into the USB port, or alternatively it can take the shape of PCIe - a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express - which typically slots directly into a computer's motherboard. You'll then want to consider what frequency you'll require for your wireless connection, 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz. Note the latter tends to be a better choice if you have a number of wireless devices on the same network. Many of the latest adapters, including some featured in this list, feature dual band options.

The WUSB6300 supports Microsoft Windows 10, 7, 8, XP, and Vista, and its Wi-Fi Protected Setup features an easy setup wizard and wireless WPA/WPA2 encryption. The strongest selling point of the ZEXMTE Long Range USB Bluetooth 5.0 adapter is its incredible range. As a Class 1 Bluetooth 5.0 adapter, you can expect coverage of up to 328 feet (100m) at speeds of up to 3Mbps. ZEXMTE’s adapter employs an anti-interference ability that ignores the 2.4GHz frequency, avoiding any issues involving wireless traffic to ensure a stable connection. Thanks to its AptX Low Latency and EDR support, streaming audio to your devices should remain lag-free, even at distance.

The Kinivo BTD-400 supports a wide number of platforms including Windows (Vista and later), macOS (10.3.9 or later), Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora), and any Raspberry Pi running Raspbian. Using Bluetooth 4.0 LE, the BTD-400 has a range of 33 feet (10m) and can reach speeds of 1MBps. All of these adapters are compatible with Windows PCs and several also work with Linux. None of them have official drivers for macOS versions later than 10.15 (and some don't even have that), because the chipset vendors don't bother to support macOS. An enterprising independent programmer has developed macOS 11 and macOS 12 drivers for many of the adapters we've reviewed, but you should yse these at your own risk. Adapters also likely won't work with other home electronics, as they require the right drivers. No, there are no Wi-Fi 6E USB adapters yet. The D-Link DWA-X1850 was the first Wi-Fi 6 adapter on the market Compatible with all major consoles, along with both Windows and Mac computers, the Avantree DG80 is an audio-only Bluetooth 5.0 adapter with good coverage for headsets and speakers. Able to reach devices at up to 65 feet (20 meters) indoors and 100 feet (30m) via line of sight, the Avantree DG80 is a fantastic wireless solution for your audio needs.

While you’ll find the BTD-400’s operating support fairly extensive, when it comes to consoles, things aren’t so impressive. Unlike other adapters in our selection, the Kinivo won’t work as a Bluetooth adapter to manage your wireless headset for PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch. You can, however, use any Bluetooth-enabled console controller with the BTD-400 if it is connected to a PC or laptop.Wi-Fi 6 promises to bring better speeds, better range, and less interference to business and home networks, but so far, that experience hasn't materialized in real-world environments.

Your laptop probably supports 802.11ac—most laptops released since 2013 do—but if yours doesn't, that's another reason to get an adapter. 802.11ac is a massive improvement over the previous 802.11n and can give you a boost even without the benefits of the bigger antenna on an adapter. The first thing to consider is whether you'll be opting for a USB device, or a PCI adapter. The latter tends to offer more consistent performance, but unless you have some expertise, it is likely to bring with it additional hassle at the installation stage. By contrast, USB wireless adapters take the term plug and play to a new level of ease.

To stress the point, the DG80 is an audio-only Bluetooth adapter, which means it won’t connect with anything other than headsets, soundbars, or speakers. Specialized support for AptX Low Latency and FastStream work great with compatible devices to keep your audio lag-free and beyond CD quality, making the DG80 a brilliant go-to for wireless audio in the home. When I tested the D-Link Wi-Fi 6 adapter more recently, I could do so in a more controlled environment. As such, I was able to compare speeds between that adapter, the TP-Link Archer T9UH, and the TP-Link Archer T4U Plus. Those results are in the full D-Link DWA-X1850 review. The best way to improve your Wi-Fi signal is to switch from a single router to a mesh network system, but mesh systems can be expensive. Wi-Fi extenders are another option, even though they can create interference and add latency; I wasn't thrilled when I tried one. If you just need to eke a little bit more Wi-Fi out to one laptop or desktop, a USB adapter is a much cheaper alternative.
