Frequently Asked Questions :
Does this adapter require a specific version of Windows for 6GHz?
Yes, while the adapter works on Windows 10 for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the 6GHz band requires Windows 11 to function correctly due to OS-level driver requirements.
Can I use this with a USB 2.0 port?
It is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but throughput will be significantly throttled. A USB 3.0 port is required to achieve the full AXE3000 rated speeds.
Is the desktop cradle mandatory for operation?
No, the adapter can be plugged directly into a USB port. However, the cradle is recommended for desktop towers to improve signal line-of-sight and avoid interference from the metal chassis.
