Installation Instructions
- Insert the AX900 dongle into a USB port.
- Open “This PC” or “File Explorer” — a new drive will appear.
- Open the drive and run the installer program.
- After installation, check Device Manager for:
- ✅ Bluetooth Adapter
- ✅ WiFi Network Adapter

Enable Soft AP Mode (Mini Router)
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Hotspot
- Toggle “Share my Internet connection with other devices”
- Choose the AX900 adapter as the source
- Set your network name and password
- Nearby devices can now connect to your PC’s WiFi signal
Note: Internet sharing requires your PC to be connected via Ethernet or another network.
⚠️ Performance Note:
To achieve full advertised speeds, your router or access point must support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and offer dual-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz connectivity. Otherwise, the AX900 adapter will operate at the highest speed supported by your network hardware.
⚠️ Real-World Speed Notice:
While the AX900 adapter advertises up to 900Mbps, this figure reflects the combined theoretical maximum across both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. In practice, only one band is active at a time. Under ideal conditions, users may achieve up to 600Mbps on 5GHz and 287Mbps on 2.4GHz. Actual speeds depend on router capabilities, signal quality, USB port type, and environmental factors.
