Advice please, for a WiFi USB dongle compatible with Plusnet Hub Two router

Hello

Just moved to Plusnet.

I want to connect my WIN10 PC to the Hub Two router wirelessly.

I thought it was easy and was looking at the TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300 USB adapter.

Then I read that it's compatible with a MU-MIMO router...arghhhh.... (baffled)

Should this be OK with my PC please?

Any advice and tips appreciated (please keep it simple for me, thank you)

That usb dongle should work perfectly fine with any router. It’s backwards compatible with older connections.

Maybe worth looking at something with less features, as not much point in paying for features you don’t need (or have in router).

I just bought a really cheap USB dongle to do exactly that. Supports 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Advertised on eBay as a Dual Band 600M Wireless USB adapter. Cost about £4. Branded Gshine.

There are a fair few fakes around so if you do want both bands be prepared to test and claim faulty/fake goods.
