Amped Wireless' ACA1 80211ac WiFi adapter launches July 22nd for $9999

“It’s not me, it’s you,” scolds the distant WiFi hotspot as your connection drops for the ninth time in an hour. As much as you may dream of buying a 20 meter Ethernet cable, Amped Wireless is determined to curtail that flirtation with its latest piece of 802.11ac hardware, the ACA1. The USB 3.0-powered unit clips to Windows and OS X machines, utilizing the company’s long-range mojo to ensure that you’ll be the envy of frustrated tweeters on the periphery of a public router. The gear arrives on July 22nd, but pre-orders begin today with $89.99 securing you a piece of the action — and if the idea of that big Ethernet lead still appeals, we’ve got a video to convince you otherwise after the break.
