Zyxel NWD6602 (NWD6602-EU0101F)

ZyXel network equipment is easy to install and use. Confirmation of this in fact is the miniature NWD6602 adapter, which is designed to improve the quality of wireless Internet in laptops with a weak Wi-Fi module or stationary PCs without Wi-Fi at all.

Tiny size

In appearance, the ZyXel NWD6602 is close in spirit to compact adapters that are provided for connecting wireless mice to a computer. This is the same compact thing that is inserted into the USB connector of a laptop or “system unit”. The connected adapter almost does not protrude from the busy port and does not block access to neighboring connection interfaces when they are crowded.

Dual range

In a tiny case, the model was “packed” with one antenna for each of the frequency ranges of the adapter — 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The maximum speed in them is 300 and 867 Mbps, respectively. However, the farther the device is from the router and the more obstacles between them, the worse the built-in antennas of the ZyXel NWD6602 receive the signal. An extension cable comes to the rescue with a poor connection speed, which allows you to slightly adjust the position of the “whistle” in space to improve reception quality.

Bigger, Better, Faster

The list of technologies supported by the device includes MU-MIMO to improve network throughput when connected to a compatible router and WPA3 encryption. The model in question will come in handy in many situations where you can really squeeze more out of a wireless connection.
