Overview
The UGREEN CM499 (65225) adds Wi-Fi 6 to a Windows 10 or 11 desktop or laptop through a USB-A 3.0 port, for a computer with no wireless card or a slow older one. It is a dual-band AX1800 adapter with link rates of up to 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, with MU-MIMO, OFDMA and WPA3 security, and the Windows driver installer is stored on the adapter itself.
Is it right for you?
- Suits Windows 10 and 11 computers with a free USB-A port; it is not listed as compatible with macOS.
- Suits homes and offices with a Wi-Fi 6 router, which is needed for full Wi-Fi 6 performance along with a USB 3.0 port.
- Linux is possible only with a separately downloaded driver, limited to kernels 3.13 to 5.17; confirm support before ordering.
Key features
- Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), AX1800 class: up to 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (theoretical).
- 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax and 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax, so it also joins older routers.
- MU-MIMO and OFDMA for busy networks with many devices.
- WPA3-SAE, WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK security, with legacy WEP support.
- Two internal antennas, a white LED status indicator and a USB-A 3.0 connector.
- Station mode and SoftAP mode (sharing the connection as a hotspot).
- Built-in Windows driver installer stored on the adapter.
What else you need
- A Windows 10 or 11 computer with a free USB-A port (USB 3.0 for full performance).
- A compatible Wi-Fi router or access point and its network credentials.
Installation
Plug it into a USB-A port, run the driver installer that appears from the adapter’s built-in storage, then join your network from the Wi-Fi menu.
Software and licences
Windows 10 or 11 is recommended for the built-in driver installer. Linux requires a separately downloaded driver (kernels 3.13 to 5.17). macOS is not listed.
Before you buy
- USB-A connector, not USB-C.
- Not listed as compatible with macOS.
- USB 2.0 and 1.1 backward compatibility may be available, but the slower port restricts performance.
- It is not a modem, stand-alone router, Bluetooth adapter or mobile-data dongle.
- Gaming, streaming quality and internet speed depend on the whole network and internet connection, not the adapter alone.

Questions about this product
Does it work with a Mac?
It is not listed as compatible with macOS. It is made for Windows 10 and 11.
Do I need to download a driver?
Not on Windows: the installer is stored on the adapter. Linux needs a separately downloaded driver and is limited to kernels 3.13 to 5.17.
Does it fit a USB-C port?
It has a USB-A connector, so a USB-C-only computer needs an adapter or hub.
Do I need a Wi-Fi 6 router?
No, it also joins Wi-Fi 5 and older routers, but full Wi-Fi 6 performance needs a Wi-Fi 6 router and a USB 3.0 port.
