Compatibility & notes

ASUS lists Windows 10 (64‑bit) and Windows 11 (64‑bit) support; however, full Wi‑Fi 7 functionality (6 GHz band and some Wi‑Fi 7 features) requires a Wi‑Fi‑7 capable router and an operating system that exposes Wi‑Fi‑7 features (ASUS notes Windows 11 24H2 or later for full support). 6 GHz operation is subject to local regulatory availability and may be restricted in some countries.

What’s included and exact warranty terms vary by region; official listings and retailers show the adapter packaged with a USB‑C cradle and ASUS manufacturer warranty (region dependent).
