TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, today announces the availability of the AC1200 Dual Band Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter, model TEW-805UB-a Wireless AC adapter with a USB 3.0 port which maintains high speed wireless transmissions to a Windows-based computer.

5Gbps max port speed with 867Mbps max network transfer speed, the very definition of "utterly pointless". Yes, I know USB 2.0 maxes out at 480Mbps, but I really doubt any consumers will ever achieve that speed on wireless, let alone 867Mbps. Yay for theoretical speeds.

If I am not mistaken, this product has been launched quite some time ago.
