My take

The Archer T2U Plus adds dual-band Wi-Fi to a desktop or laptop through USB 2.0. It supports 802.11ac on 5 GHz and 802.11n on 2.4 GHz, with a combined AC600 speed class of up to 433 Mbps and 200 Mbps respectively.

Its adjustable 5 dBi high-gain antenna can be rotated and positioned to improve reception. Supported functions and driver availability depend on the operating system and hardware revision.
