How is it when loading 4K videos?

Accepted Answer

Hi,Thanks for your kind attention.Yes, this dual band wifi adapter can transfer 4K videos well.Please make sure that your Internet services provider offer fast enough Internet connection speed for you.This wifi adapter can establish wifi connection between your computer and your wireless router with maximum speed of 867Mbps on 5GHz wifi band and 300Mbps speed on 2.4GHz wifi band.  In case you are not that far away from the wireless router, we suggest using the 5GHz wifi band when you play 4K videos; If you are far away from it, then you should try with 2.4GHz wifi band.As you can get much faster speed on 5GHz wifi band and 5GHz wifi band is more clear then 2.4GHz.While 2.4GHz wifi is stronger in penetrating walls in long range transmission, though its speed is not as fast as 5GHz wifi band.Hope that this answer your question.In case you need other assistance in using this wifi adapter, please kindly send us email at support@trend-tech.net.cnHave a nice weekend for you!Allen from BrosTrend Technical Support Team
