802.11ac devices were released around the time when XP was receiving security-only updates from Microsoft and most vendors have stopped providing drivers for XP for new products. This would mean that with some luck the fastest wireless adapter for USB is likely going to be 802.11n. Honestly your best chance is getting a wireless network adapter that was built when Windows XP was still officially supported and where the device lists official support for XP. Via this USB adapter, with 100 yards of coverage, you can surf freely in the bedroom, porch or garage.

Even if I wouldn't give it much chances, what about trying the Windows drivers from Mediatek's site since there is no specific version mentioned? USB WiFi Adapter for PC 1200Mbps, USB 3.0 WiFi Dongle Wireless Network Adapter 2.4GHz/300Mbps+5GHz/866Mbps 5dBi High Gain Antenna for Laptop Destop Win XP/7/8/10, Mac OS X 10.6-10.15, Linux. :-)Īpparently the A6150 is based on a Mediatek MT7612U. Netgear has a solid 11ac router on the market, the R6300 WiFi Router 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit (54.00 at Amazon), and an 802.11ac wireless adapter to go with it: the 802.11ac A6200 WiFi Adapter. Yes, it would be nice to get 802.11ac on a computer running Windows XP from a user/consumer perspective but it doesn't make much economical and sometimes even technological sense to make such a product for a device maker. The chance of a modern device supporting an operating system that was (quite likely) end of before the device was released, is quite small. Well, Windows XP has been out of support since early 2014, by now that's 5 years of EoL for XP.
