Tenda has launched the U18 V3.0 USB wireless adapter, which supports the Wi-Fi 6 standard. The device is currently listed on JD.com with a retail price of ¥109, though it debuted at ¥99. Customers participating in a promotional review campaign can purchase the unit for as low as ¥75.
The adapter features an AX1800 specification, offering speeds of up to 1201 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. It incorporates OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies, alongside WPA3 security encryption. The hardware is housed in a compact capsule-shaped body measuring 93.8 mm by 30.2 mm by 13.4 mm.
Equipped with a USB 3.0 interface, the device provides data transfer speeds ten times faster than USB 2.0 while maintaining backward compatibility. It includes built-in drivers for automatic installation on Windows systems. The adapter is compatible with Windows 10 and 11, Linux kernels V3.10 and above, as well as UOS and Kylin operating systems.
The U18 V3.0 functions as both a Wi-Fi receiver and a hotspot transmitter. Users can connect a computer to a wireless network or share an existing wired internet connection with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
