AC6200 USB 2.0 VS USB 3.0 MODE
Hi Team, I was wondering which is stable and provide max throughput. So far wireless adapters never reached the max theoritical or practical throughput of USB 2.0 ie 40+ MBps. Hardly 20 Mb...

I agree but you pointed no difference. Yes there is difference as it matters how you transfer files. Say pc-pc USB 2.0 to pc or USB 3.0 to pc.
As reading from attached USB 2 gets you 18MBps but same if you read from USB 3.0 can reach 33MBps
It matters which band you are connected and connection rate as well

Are you talking about a direct USB cable connection between 2 PCs? How is that relevant to this discussion?
My point is that a USB 3.0 port with an A6200 plugged into it is going to run in USB 2.0 mode.

Is this with your A6200?

Correct.
