Dieser WLAN-USB-3.0-Stick bietet zwei Sendeeinheiten und zwei integrierte Antennen auf engstem Raum. So soll er eine theoretische Datenrate von 868 MBit/s bieten. Im Test waren es dann unter Praxisbedingungen (durch eine Wand) gemessene und sehr gute 300 MBit pro Sekunde. Die maximale gemessene Datenrate ist mit 345 MBit/s sogar noch einen ganzen ticken höher.
