Wireless USB Network Adapter LANBERG NC-1200-WI, WLAN USB 2.0, 2x internal antennas 2 dBi, up to 5000 Mbit/s

Lanberg NC-1200-WI is a compact USB 3.0 AC1200 wireless network interface card (NIC) that supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation in 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac standards. The adapter uses two internal antennas (2T2R MIMO) and delivers combined throughput up to 1167 Mb/s — up to 300 Mb/s on 2.4 GHz and up to 867 Mb/s on 5 GHz — providing improved speed and stability compared with legacy 802.11n devices. The small form factor and USB-A connector make the card portable and suitable for use with routers, access points and repeaters.

Advantages

Support for the 5 GHz band enables higher connection speeds, reduced interference from neighbouring consumer devices and access to more wireless channels. Multi-antenna (MIMO) transmission increases real-world throughput compared with single-antenna solutions. The device supports standard Wi‑Fi security protocols (WEP, WPA, WPA2) and includes drivers for common operating systems; installation is simplified by provided driver media. Internal PIFA antennas provide a compact design for use in close optical proximity to the transmitting device.

Suitable for

• Upgrading a PC or laptop to dual‑band Wi‑Fi via USB
• Online gaming and low‑latency audio/video communication
• Streaming high‑resolution video and large file transfers
• Temporary or mobile network access with routers, access points or repeaters

How to use

Insert the NC-1200-WI into an available USB Type‑A port on the computer. Install the appropriate drivers supplied on the CD or download the correct driver version from the manufacturer’s support site according to your operating system and kernel version. After driver installation, use the operating system’s network manager to scan for and connect to a wireless network; select the required SSID, enter the network encryption key and confirm the connection. For best results place the adapter in close optical proximity to the transmitting access point or router.

Recommendations

Use the 5 GHz band where permitted by local regulations to benefit from higher throughput and lower interference. Verify legal frequency availability in your country. Keep device firmware and drivers up to date and avoid placing the adapter behind large metal objects that can block signal.
