I would like to start off by saying I am new to linux (been about 2-3 weeks). I purchased a Maxesla Mini WiFi Adapter 1200M 802.11ac Dual Band 2.4/5GHz AC1200 Wireless Network Adapter usb dongle and installed the rtl88x2bu driver updated for current kernels driver (I followed the DKMS installation).
I get the full 450-500mbps speeds when using an ethernet cable on my laptop (or wifi on my cell phone), but about 200 mbps when using this dongle. I am using Kubuntu 18.4 LTS and the build-in wifi (2.4g) is enabled as I don't know how to disable it (don't know if that makes a difference).
Thank you in advance!

I get the full 450-500mbps speeds when using an ethernet cable on my laptop (or wifi on my cell phone), but about 200 mbps when using this dongle.
It has a tiny antenna, which gives it very poor reception. It has a cheap chipset. I'm actually surprised that you get this good speeds from this.
Furthermore, it does not mention USB3, which makes me suspect it's USB2. USB2 maxes out at 480Mb/s, in practice I've noticed gigabit NIC's connected to USB2 ports tends to give around 200-250Mb/s.
So in short. You're getting way better speed than I would expect. You will probably not get any more out of that device. Get one with USB3 and a better antenna.
In addition wireless gives approximately half of advertised rate at best. When my NIC announces 867Mb/s, I get around 450Mb/s under good conditions. This is a Intel 7265 on PCIe.

Yeah I put the dongle right next to the modem and got speeds up to 380 :) I guess I'll have to spend more when I'll need that much speed
