Mercusys gives the MA30N's size as 26.9 x 16.05 x 7.6 mm. It sticks out of a laptop by little more than the USB plug itself, so it can stay in the port while the laptop goes into a bag.

There is no driver disc to find. Windows 11 and 10 include the MA30N's driver, so the adapter sets itself up when it goes into a USB port. Mercusys lists Windows 11 and 10, in 32-bit and 64-bit, as the supported systems.

With an MU-MIMO router, the router can send data to the MA30N and to other devices at the same time instead of one after the other. Mercusys shows the difference against a regular adapter on a busy network.
