Hi djsomers,
The speed still depends on the what the router or the modem provides. If the modem/router can only get 100Mbps from ISP then most likely the adapter can get upto 100Mbps or less depending on the environment.

I was able to work with "Pete", an Advanced Level supervisor, last Sunday, Nov. 6. It appears he was able to resolve my problem as my adapter has stayed connected without dropping since that time. He explained the problem came from the last Windows 10 Update that affected USB devices such as the A6210 and USB devices from other companies. It also affected some webcams. He was able to uninstall the adapter and all of its files - it took 2 or 3 attempts - and he reinstalled the adapter. Thanks so much, Pete! I am consistently receiving download speeds of over 300 Mbps.
One other quick question: I anticipate having to find another internet/cable provider with all the negative publicity I have read about Time Warner Cable being bought out and becoming Spectrum. With TWC, I can access speeds of up to 300 Mpbs. If/when the internet speed available to me is decreased, say to 100 Mbps, what speeds should I be able to reach with the A6210? Will it only reach 100-150 Mpbs, or will I still be able to get 300 Mbps?
