The setting lets you select 802.11n High Throughput mode (HT Mode), 802.11ac Very High Throughput Mode (VHT Mode), 802.11ax or disable 802.11n/ac/ax modes. Default value maybe 802.11ac or 802.11ax depending on the adapter you have.

NS offload is the network adapter's ability to respond to a Neighbor Discovery Neighbor Solicitation request with a Neighbor Advertisement without waking the computer. Both the hardware and the driver must support NS offload to enable this feature.

Hi, I installed the drivers on Ubuntu/Debian based distros but the USB wifi adapter does not automatically connect to Wifi on reboot. I also have to reconnect to my network but it saves as a new connection each time. Any suggestions?

Update: We just have checked this Tp link 725n (150MBPS 802.11n) adapter on Ubuntu OS, and we found, there is no driver required. It starts working when we plug into the computer. Installs driver automatically in the background. I have experienced this and I want to share it with here.

In total we wanted to offer an answer that could be easy to follow and covered most Broadcom Cards / Drivers. After you follow this guide, you will NEED to test your wireless connection for at least 2 hours (I actually recommend 8 hours) with another device in either Ad-Hoc Mode, Infrastructure Mode or Both. Common problems that will be solved (Apart from drivers not installing) are:

There are dozens of Broadcom wireless cards and more seem to appear every day. The key to finding the correct driver for any network card is what is known as the PCI ID (PCI.ID). To find out which PCI.ID you have, we proceed to opening the terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T (It should open a window with a blank background) and inside this terminal we run the following command:

For all Wireless cards in general, it is very important to also take into consideration the network devices you are using (Routers, Switches, Wireless Channels and Wireless Bands, etc..). With this information you will be able to evaluate better what the source of the problem could be when you arrive at a dead end. An example would be the Lenovo S10-2 which uses the 14e4:4315 rev 01 PCIID. Even after installing the correct driver the user would end up in a "trying to connect" loop. It would see the wireless SSID but when trying to connect to it, it would enter an reconnecting loop.

The solution was that this particular wireless device did not support 40 Mhz channels nor does it support 802.11N. The router in that case was actually broadcasting with a forced 40 Mhz and on WiFi-N only. When the router was set to Auto mode and 20/40 Mhz Channel, the wireless card worked correctly. This is a case scenario that also repeats in other cases, so a proper evaluation of the network equipment would help a lot.

For pci.id 14er:4727--which holds in my case):Wireless does not work anymore after software update with Ubuntu 12.10 on a Dell Latitude E6230and How do I get an Acer Npilfy 802.11 (BCM43225) wireless card working? who refers to the former.

s/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. > Please carefully read all instructions on this website.

[ 367.927967] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode13.fw" not found
[ 367.927981] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode13.fw" not found
[ 367.927989] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to and download the correct firmware for this driver v


For anyone else who is getting the "wireless is disabled by hardware switch -a" message under wireless (you'll see it by clicking on the icon) - and it's "hard block", that may work in any model (that is working for me in netgear "wireless USB adapter", haven't checked the others, but it may work).

After you've uninstalled b43-fwcutter reboot your computer. NB if you've no access to a wired network on your machine you will need to download the b43-fwcutter package manually from here, as well as your card's driver from here. My card is the 4311 so I download the broadcom-wl-4-150-10.5.tar.bz2.

Simple, sturdy, and compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.x, and 7. The adapter is ready to work on most devices out of the box, with drivers available separately for download (not included with the adapter).

Compliant to the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi 4 specification, with backward compatibility to previous WiFi standards, this adapter can establish up to a 150Mbps link rate to a 2.4GHz wireless access point for a fast and stable connection.

The adapter fits snugly against the side of your laptop or PC, reducing the likelihood of breakage and staying out of the way of your other devices. The unobtrusive red LED inside the adapter helps indicate wireless activity while keeping your focus on the task at hand.

To get the best performance, there are technical considerations to make. Be sure that the adapter is plugged into the front of your computer if using a tower-style PC, use a USB 2.0 port (instead of USB 3.0), and try to keep a clear line-of-sight between your WiFi adapter and the router. This will help to avoid common sources of 2.4GHz wireless interference in order to provide optimal range and performance.

Technical Parameters:
Standard: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac 5GHz
Wi-Fi Performance: AC600Mbps (2.4G 150M / 5G 433M)
Work Channels: 13 channels at 2.4GHz, 9 channels at 5GHz. (Only AP mode can choose 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz wireless channel but Station Mode can connect to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz wireless channel WiFi)
Support Systems: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10,Mac OS X 10.6-10.12 and Linux
Antenna: 2dBi

All of these adapters are compatible with Windows PCs and several also work with Linux. None of them have official drivers for macOS versions later than 10.15 (and some don't even have that), because the chipset vendors don't bother to support macOS. An enterprising independent programmer has developed macOS 11 and macOS 12 drivers(Opens in a new window) for many of the adapters we've reviewed, but you should yse these at your own risk. Adapters also likely won't work with other home electronics, as they require the right drivers.

The 802.11ac Wi-Fi spec is disturbingly complicated, with more than a dozen different performance levels referred to by AC and a number. The adapters we found perform at the AC1200, AC1300, and AC1900 levels. Here's how all of those AC numbers in that range translate into potential speeds on the two main Wi-Fi frequency bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. If this chart makes your head hurt, just remember that higher numbers are better.

Since the first one launched last summer, a few other Wi-Fi 6 USB sticks are now available, including the Asus USB-AX56, the D-Link DWA-X1850, and several shifty-looking Amazon brands. We reviewed the first model to hit the market, D-Link's DWA-X1850. All of the current adapters use the AX1800 version of the Wi-Fi 6 spec, so they aren't inherently faster than the best 802.11ac adapters we tested. In our full review of the X1850, we found that while it showed better signal strength than the Wi-Fi 5 adapters on a 2.4GHz network in a weak signal situation, that characteristic didn't at all translate into actual speed or reliability improvements in other situations.
