Buffalo AirStation WI-U2-866D review: Decent performance for a low price |
January 29, 2014
In our roundup of 802.11ac Wi-Fi client USB adapters, the best performances that Buffalo Technology’s AirStation WI-U2-866D turned in were good enough only for second-place finishes, and the device ended up in fourth place overall. But its $40 street price—$30 less than the cost of the top-performing Asus USB-AC56—renders it an attractive value.The WI-UW-866D’s industrial design echoes that of Buffalo’s new 802.11ac routers, and it has the same charcoal-gray finish and silver accents. Its antennas are mounted internally. Buffalo doesn’t provide a cradle, but you will find a bendable USB 2.0 stub cable in the box. I didn’t find this accessory to be of much use, since it wasn’t strong enough to prevent the adapter from flopping over.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
