.
USB 3.0 Interface (Select Models)
Most variants (like the standard
Archer T3U) feature a
USB 3.0 port, offering data transfer speeds up to
10x faster than USB 2.0
. However, the
T3U Nano uses
USB 2.0 to achieve its ultra-small size
.

. The
T3U Nano is even smaller, designed to be virtually unnoticeable when plugged in
.

WPA/WPA2 (and
WPA3 on the Nano model)
