FAQs
Do I need to install drivers or download software?
No. The NW628v2 includes built-in drivers, so you can plug it in and start installation with a single click. You don't need an optical drive or internet connection to get started.
What is the difference between WiFi 6 and previous standards?
WiFi 6 (802.11ax) offers faster speeds, better performance in crowded networks, improved power efficiency, and advanced features like MU-MIMO and OFDMA. The NW628v2 supports up to AX1800 speeds and works with older routers too.
Will this adapter work with my existing WiFi router?
Yes. The NW628v2 is backwards compatible with WiFi 4, WiFi 5, and legacy WiFi routers. However, you'll only get WiFi 6 speeds if your router also supports WiFi 6.
What does WPA3 security provide?
WPA3 is the latest WiFi security standard offering enhanced encryption and protection against common network attacks. It provides stronger security than WPA2, especially on open networks.
Can I adjust the antennas?
Yes. Both 5dBi antennas are adjustable, allowing you to optimise signal strength and coverage for your specific location and environment.
Is this suitable for gaming and streaming?
Yes. The AX1800 speeds (up to 1201 Mbps on 5GHz), dual antennas, and beamforming make it well-suited for HD video streaming, online gaming, and downloading large files.
What operating systems does it support?
The NW628v2 requires Windows 10 or later.
