Nighthawk A7000 software or standalone driver?

[AmberJay]

I'm installing the Nighthawk AC1900 Model No. A7000 for my laptop which is running windows OS 10.
I don't know the difference between choosing the Adapter Software or the Standalone Driver. Can someone explain how they differ and which one might be better to choose please?

Thanks!

I'd try plugging the thing in and seeing of Windows installs its own drivers. That works for some people.

Standalone works fine. Dont Install 15 latest unless 11 is having issues. I believe 15 have some issues.

If the drives are properly installed you will get good speed like this with top end ac router setup and no interfernace
