Simplecom NW628v2 - AX1800 WiFi 6 over USB 3.0, with two 5dBi high gain antennas on a weighted base.
The NW628v2 plugs into a USB port and gives a desktop or laptop proper WiFi 6: 574Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1201Mbps on 5GHz, from two 5dBi adjustable antennas. It supports OFDMA, MU-MIMO and beamforming, so a busy household gets a steadier connection, and WPA3 for the security side. The driver is built in, so there is no disc to find and no download before you can connect - plug it in, run the installer and you are online. Windows 10 and later.
Key Features
-

WPA3 encryption — The current WiFi security standard, with WPA2 still supported for older routers.
