I've found this wiki resource interesting - in particular, using
find/search for 'MU-MIMO' etc. The interface column is relatively
descriptive.

Thank you everyone for your feedback! Lots of good information! We’ll be 
looking into purchasing a couple adapters to help with testing/troubleshooting 
and advising 2.4 only clients.

Thank you everyone and have a great day!

Due to poor performance with them, we moved away from recommending micro usb

the Linksys  (AC1200) WUSB6300. To provide the best user experience possible,

I've seen some laptop vendors lock down the internal adapter in the bios to
