Conclusion

The ASUS USB-AC68 Dual-Band Wireless AC1900 USB adapter allows for easy access to fast wireless networks on any system that previously didn’t have this function, as long as you have a USB 3.0 port available. The almost plug and play nature makes it easy to use and the driver installation is quick when needed.

the USB-AC68 isn’t restricted to the USB port itself as it comes with a cradle stand on a USB extension cord for remote placement, on a counter top or top of your chassis for example.

The adapter seems a bit bulky at first, but that’s not a bad thing for a WiFi adapter. The signal performance highly depends on the antennas and the larger the adapter is, the better antennas can be fit onto the adapter. ASUS made the USB-AC68 with both internal antennas throughout the adapter as well as fitted it with two external antennas that can be positioned in three places. These are particular reasons why the ASUS USB-AC68 performs as great as it does.

Because the adapter does perform great and not just when compared to older generations, it also performs great for an AC1900 adapter. The powerful 3×4 MIMO design and the ASUS AiRadar Beamforming technologies optimize the signal reception and provide you with a great result.
