Scope of supply:
In addition to the described contents of a USB cable was supplied, which has a base. As a result, the piece be placed upright on a desk or on the windowsill.
Furnishings:
The establishment of a Fritz! Box is very easy. Once infected at the box, then the PC is running. Other routers support such a facility on WPS also.
Hardware:
Since I'm not familiar with the hardware of such sticks, I can receive etc make any detailed statements. The reception with me (10m from the box removed by a few walls round) very good, and both box and stick not working at 100% capacity, continue to have reserves.
After several hours of continuous use it is slightly warm (noticed for over 12 hours, which was not previously tested), but not hot.
Software:
The energy consumption of the stick (and thus performance) can be set via the system tray on the PC easily. A display clears about on whether the connection is optimal or weakens. The same display is used when one activates the test mode. During this mode, continuous small data packets are exchanged between stick and box so that you can see by moving the two devices, at which point the connection is better. Especially on long distances (or very unfavorable walls), this can be very helpful.
Conclusion:
Since I have no comparative figures with other sticks in the 5 GHz range, I give because of the above 5 star. Value for money I can therefore unfortunately not judge.
