The Lanberg NC-1800-WI wireless USB network adapter is a compact solution that lets you upgrade your desktop computer or laptop with fast Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The adapter supports the AX1800 standard and two frequency bands, offering speeds of up to 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 1201 Mbps on the 5 GHz band.
The combination of the modern Wi-Fi 6 standard with a USB 3.0 interface ensures high bandwidth for everyday work, studying, watching movies, video conferencing, and online gaming. The device’s compact size means the adapter can be conveniently left plugged into a USB port or taken along with your laptop.
Compatibility with the IEEE 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n standards allows you to take advantage of modern Wi-Fi 6 routers without sacrificing compatibility with older network infrastructure.

The Lanberg NC-1800-WI wireless network card uses MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies, which improve communication between the router and multiple devices operating on the same network.
MU-MIMO enables more efficient simultaneous support for multiple devices, while OFDMA divides the transmission channel into smaller units, allowing for better utilization of available bandwidth. These solutions help reduce latency and maintain a stable connection even when the network is used by many users.
Support for 1024-QAM modulation increases the amount of data transmitted in a single transmission, allowing for fuller utilization of the Wi-Fi 6 standard’s capabilities.

Beamforming technology helps direct the wireless signal toward the connected device instead of broadcasting it evenly in all directions. This results in a more stable connection and better utilization of the available coverage. The built-in 2 dBi PIFA antenna is housed inside a small enclosure, allowing the adapter to maintain a compact design without the need for protruding external antennas.

The Lanberg NC-1800-WI supports popular network security standards, including 64- and 128-bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK with TKIP/AES encryption. The adapter also supports the modern WPA3 standard, which provides a higher level of wireless connection security. WPA3 support is available exclusively on Windows.

With dimensions of just 44 × 19 × 9 mm, the card doesn’t take up much space when connected to a computer. The adapter works well both at a desktop workstation and when working on the go with a laptop. The USB 3.0 interface provides sufficient bandwidth to support a fast Wi-Fi connection. Installing the device is simple - just plug the card into a USB port, install the required drivers, and configure the wireless network connection.
The Lanberg NC-1800-WI is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, and Linux.
If you're using the NC-1200-WI, a computer running Windows 10 or later, and a router that supports Wi-Fi 6, the NC-1800-WI is a natural next step. While retaining the compact form factor of a USB adapter and the convenience of a USB 3.0 connection, it offers the newer Wi-Fi 6 (AX1800) standard, higher data transfer speeds, WPA3 support, and better utilization of modern routers’ capabilities. It’s an easy way to upgrade your wireless connection without changing how you use the adapter.
