Additionally, the adapter is designed to be an adjustable, multi-directional antenna, which enhances the reception and transmission signal strength.
The Archer T2U nano is available now at Amazon for $20. The T3U and T2U Plus, meanwhile, are expected to launch on April 29 and April 19 for $25 and $20, respectively.
