If you’ve upgraded your router or mesh system to Wi-Fi 6E, but your desktop or laptop lacks support, say hello to the Netgear Nighthawk A8000. It’s essentially a glorified Wi-Fi dongle that’s built for speed. It’s pretty big for a dongle, thanks to a beefy antennae, but you have the option of using the bundled dock, which connects via a wire. Performance is better than most integrated receivers, and there’s a Wi-Fi 7 version coming, too. The only negative is that it’s USB-A, there’s no USB-C version for now.
