Probably the easiest way to fix sluggish Internet speed on a desktop PC is by directly connecting the PC to the router via Ethernet cable or by using a WiFi repeater!
A WiFi repeater basically picks up the wireless signal from the router and then rebroadcasts the wireless signal so that your desktop PC gets a stronger signal. With an Ethernet cable you simply connect one end to the router and the other end to your PC.
Problem is, what do you do if you live in a big house or your PC doesn't even have a WiFi Adapter? Running an Ethernet cable all the way to the router won't be practical and a WiFi repeater won't work without your desktop PC having a USB WiFi adapter or PCI wireless card solution.
For times like these, a powerline wireless extender or WiFi USB adapter such as Aukey's AC1200 Wi-Fi Adapter is the way to go!
Being wireless AC, Aukey's AC1200 Wi-Fi dual-band USB adapter gives you speeds of up to 300Mbit/s, which is is a lot faster than wireless B (802.11b), wireles-G (802.11g) and wireless-N (802.11n).
Best thing about this AC1200 Wi-Fi adapter is that it is USB 3.0 and that it also works as a WiFi booster which means if you have a poor performing WiFi card on your laptop or desktop, it will boost the speeds of your network connection. Be sure that your router or Access Point do have wireless AC and dual band ( 2.4GHz or 5GHz) capabilities to get the best out of a solution such as this.
Setting up Aukey's AC1200 Wi-Fi dual-band USB adapter is straightforward. Simply press the WPS button on your router or Access Point and the button on top of the WiFi adapter. That's it!
Aukey's AC1200 dual band wireless USB 3.0 adapter works on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10, and it's Plug n Play which you means you do not need to manually install drivers for it to work as the Windows operating system will automatically install them. You do get CD driver in the box for good measure.
