6e is FAST!
Now it works great, would connect to the WiFi Router but with no internet, I turned off the IPV6 protocol in the network adapter settings now it works like a charm!

Does not work well with WiFi 4
Have older Ruckus 7982 WiFi 4 AP (so 40Mhz channel max) with appx 180Mb Internet connection. Broke NUC motherboard WiFi antenna connectors replacing fan, so dug out an older Edimax AC600 Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter (also Realtek) but could not see 5Ghz. Quickly figured out it did not support DFS, so order this POS. Had no installation issues on the Win11 NUC other than had to go into device management to enable, but throughput is horrible (see attachments). The EDUP USB 3.0 WiFi 6E AX5400M WiFi Adapter is the pic with 8.54/1.34 speeds. I think that speed figure was generous because mail/web page loading was beyond slow and note how it does not see the nearby 2.4Ghz AP's vs the Edimax adapter. It's hard to tell on pictures, but the signal strength is a good 5-10 lower than the single antenna Edimax. I also tried on a win10 laptop with same results (laptop built in WiFi got wire speeds from same distance ~25ft). Did find newer drivers on another site (5001.19.113.2 vs 5001.19.102.0 - Google "Realtek 8832CU driver" to find) but only helped the non-DFS channels a little. I can now understand why this product is off market - LOL. Returning and will look for another cheap USB adapter which supports DFS, since the non-DFS channels will fill up as the snowbirds flock back to FL.

The EDUP Realtek 8832CU windows 10 driver BUGGY for wifi6/AX 5Ghz networks. Use Asus driver
I just spent about 3 hours trying to get this adapter to connect to 2 5Ghz wifi6 networks.This works fine on 2.4Ghz networks. But not on wifi6/AX networks in windows 10.I disabled the 5Ghz AX profile in the driver settings and it could then connect to my 5Ghz network.There are no drivers direct from realtek so I tried a few other realtek 8832AU and 8832BU drivers with no luck.After many system reboots driver installs/uninstalls plugging/unplugging different usb 3 ports I finally got the wifi 6 5GHZ network to connect after installing the driver manually from disk and choosing the the Asus wifi adapter in the list provided by the EDUP driver package instead of the Realtek 8832CU driver (There is no EDUP specific driver). Windows says this Asus driver is not designed for this hardware but disregard and click next and driver installs successfully. The Windows Device manager then shows the hardware to be "Realtek 8832CU Wireless LAN WiFI 6 USB NIC" and not the Asus device which is strange but I see additional options in the wifi hardware advanced settings so something about installing the Asus driver added features needed for the 5Ghz wifi ax format to work.The very bizarre thing is before I had this Asus driver loaded the 5Ghz wifi 6 network connection would connect and then the device appears to reset and then come back and when I manually connected to my network again it looked like it was connected but I could not ping any devices. I tried resetting my windows components and many reboots but it did not help. Only connecting to the 2.4ghz network or disabling the 5Ghz AX profile in the driver allowed me to ping my network devices.EDUP please talk to Realtek about fixing their wifi 6 5Ghz drivers. Thanks.

Driver issue
I plugged it in a USB socket and my Win 11 Pro computer recognized the WiFi device but said it needed a driver. It did not come with a driver it was supposed to be a plug and play for win 10 or 11. So I tried in a win 10 pro, and 2 win 11 home computers. (I have many computers) no go. No big deal I thought I would download a driver from the web site. When I found the site, it was down and I could not download a driver. I was thinking about sending it back. The next day I tried again and the EDUP site was up, so I downloaded the driver file. Then I noticed it was a compressed .rar file. So now I needed to install Winrar so I could decompress the file. Once I got all of that done I installed the driver. It wanted to restart so I did. Afterward I plugged in the WiFi doggle and it wanted to restart again so I did. Finally it was recognized and I put in my password and I was in business. It worked fine, but was a little disappointed that my WiFi speed was not more. I have a wifi 6e mesh system and it did not go much faster than the other WiFi doggle I had before. I give it 4 stars because it did work after I finally got a driver. I could see a less experienced person having a big problem with it.
