UGREEN AC650 11ac Dual-Band Wireless USB Adapter
Product Description
The UGREEN CM448 (20204) is a small AC650 dual-band USB Wi-Fi adapter that adds 802.11ac wireless to a desktop or an older laptop: up to 433 Mbps on 5 GHz and 200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz from a 40 × 19 × 9 mm dongle on a USB 2.0 plug. It is the budget fix for a PC with no Wi-Fi, a laptop whose internal card has failed, or a machine stuck on 2.4 GHz that needs the quieter 5 GHz band.
Desktop PCs often have no Wi-Fi, and older laptops have weak or slow cards. The UGREEN CM448 USB Wi-Fi adapter plugs into a USB port and connects your computer to your Wi-Fi network. It is made for desktop and laptop users with weak or no Wi-Fi.
Key Features and Benefits
- AC650 dual band: AC650 dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz).

- Soft AP mode: turn a wired PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot for phones and tablets.
- Tiny footprint: sits almost flush in a laptop's USB port, so it can stay in permanently.

Made for Life in Nairobi and Across Kenya
Give a desktop PC in a home office Wi-Fi access, upgrade a laptop in a student hostel, or connect a PC at a shop counter to the router.
Buying and Setup Tips
- Check which Wi-Fi band your router uses.
- Plug into a USB port at the speed listed.
- Install any driver recommended for your operating system.
- It is not supported on macOS 11 Big Sur or later, so it is not a fix for a recent MacBook.
- AC650 is a Wi-Fi 5 rating; for Wi-Fi 6 speeds, an external antenna and USB 3.0, step up to the UGREEN CM499 AX1800.
