WLAN stick for PC: 5 adapters for wireless Internet on the computer
30If you want to upgrade your PC to receive wireless Internet, it is best to use a WLAN stick. You can find an overview of the different models and their advantages and disadvantages here.
Not every PC is factory-equipped with a WLAN receiver. Especially self-made computers often do not have a corresponding module installed on the mainboard. In this case, there are various options for retrofitting: either a suitable WLAN PCIe card or one USB stick with receiver. We present five such WLAN USB adapters for the PC.

Of the AC 860 supports transmission rates of up to 866 Mbit/s and transmits in dual band at 2.4 and 5 GHz. The stick is compatible with all routers. But in combination with a FRITZ!Box, it brings a number of advantages: For example, there is no need to set it up. Because before it can be used on the PC, the stick only has to be plugged into a USB port on the FRITZ!Box once – and it automatically receives the correct wireless settings.
