You've got a Wi-Fi 6 router humming in the hallway and a laptop that's still stuck on 802.11n. Or your Bluetooth's died and you need a headset for the next call. This one dongle does both. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 – 287 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 600 Mbps on 5 GHz – plus Bluetooth 5.3 with up to 20 metres of range. WPA3 security if your newer router demands it. Two adjustable 5 dBi antennas mean you can actually point them at the access point instead of hoping the signal finds you. OFDMA and MU-MIMO keep things snappy when six devices are fighting for bandwidth in the office. Built-in driver, so Windows 10+ just picks it up. No CD, no download
