FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ: ASUS USB-AC58 AC1300 Dual-Band USB Wi-Fi Adapter
1) What Wi-Fi speeds does the USB-AC58 support?
Up to 867 Mb/s on 5 GHz (802.11ac) and up to 400 Mb/s on 2.4 GHz (256-QAM “AC1300” class).
2) Does it work on Windows, macOS, and Linux?
Yes — listed OS support includes Windows 10/7, macOS, and Linux. (Linux support is driver-dependent; check your distro’s kernel/driver notes.)
3) Is WPA3 security supported?
Yes. Security options include WPA3-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Personal, and WEP.
4) Do I need a USB 3.0 port?
The adapter is USB 3.0. It’ll run in USB 2.0, but USB 3.0 is recommended to avoid bottlenecking AC-class speeds.
5) Are the antennas high-gain and detachable?
Yes — two detachable high-gain dipole antennas are included.
6) Is there a WPS button for quick setup?
Yes — EZ WPS hardware push-button for 2-step pairing.
7) What’s in the box?
Adapter, 2× dipole antennas, a USB extension cable, support/driver CD, and warranty card. (Bundle contents can vary by retailer/region.)
8) Does it come with a USB extension stand/cable?
Yes — a USB extension cable is bundled to position the adapter for better signal reception.
9) How big is it? Will it block nearby ports?
Approx. 62 × 94 × 11 mm (adapter body, without antennas); weight ~85 g. Using the included extension cable helps avoid port crowding.
10) Will it work with any Wi-Fi router?
Yes — it’s a dual-band 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) client and works with standard 2.4/5 GHz routers and mesh systems. (You’ll only connect on one band at a time as a client.)
11) Does it support MU-MIMO/beamforming from modern routers?
Retail listings note beamforming and MU-MIMO feature compatibility on supporting networks for better stability and throughput.
12) Is it good for gaming or streaming?
For PCs without built-in Wi-Fi, the AC1300 class and dual high-gain antennas provide solid 5 GHz performance and lower latency than 2.4 GHz — ideal for streaming and casual gaming (wired Ethernet still has the lowest latency).
13) Can I make a hotspot with it?
On Windows, you can share your connection using Mobile Hotspot (OS feature). “Soft-AP” utility support depends on driver/OS; many users just use the built-in Windows hotspot feature.
14) Warranty?
Retailers commonly list up to 3-year warranty for the adapter (confirm with your seller).
