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.
