It's almost 2019, and I still have no idea why most desktops don't come with builtin WiFi chips. But since that ain't the case, and quality matters, TP Link was definitely the way to go, and so I did. Works like a charm, and was just plug and play on my Windows 10 PC. Blazingly fast, and is working fine on my 100mbps fibre internet connection. If you don't have WiFi on your PC, don't even have second thoughts. Just go for it.
(Pictures attached)Size/Design: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Build Quality: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Packaging: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Software: ★ ★ ★ ★Speed: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Connectivity: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Experience: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Warranty: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Size and Design:The best part about this is that it is very compact in size and very sober and elegant in design. This is a big plus as it is easy plug in and use, add to it the good sober design.Build Quality:The build quality is undoubtedly superb. Just no qualms about that, at all. When held, it doesnt give off that cheap and flimsy product-like feeling. It is good sturdy with its build quality.Packaging:This part is also a big plus as the item was well cushioned and packaged with all the necessary items that ensured that no damage could have been caused to the product during transportation. This ensures that I as a customer have received something not damaged internally already.Software:This is actually good but not great part with the product.The good part is that a CD has been provided with it along with a manual.The not great part is that NO LINUX SUPPORT has been given from Version 2 onwards. This is bad, really.Speed:It easily supports net speeds upto 300 Mbps. Practically speaking, I have tested it at my home and it easily supports net speed of over 100-150 Mbps without a sigh.On testing I found that it did connect to 5GHz network, without any issue.Connectivity:Please mark its not feet its metres. Multiply metres x 3 to get the distance in feet.It easily connects to my laptop or phone from 7 metres across one room. So thats 21 feet. I mean even our old bluetooth used to connect to about 15 ft.So 20-25 feet is not at all an issue with this. This is the big plus I found with the product.Experience:From this point of view, so far except the linux non-compatibility issue, I found no other flaws with this product.So overall its a great product.Warranty:Its 3 years so I am assured that atleast for 3 years I am tension-free and not just 1 year, contrary to most electronic items today that only provide 1 year warranty with their items.
even though its a new version of TL-WN722N it is not compatible with kali also it doesn't have atheros ar9271 chipsetreturning as its not compatible but if you are getting this only for windows and mac , you are good works perfect with windows
It didnt work with kali linux. The chipset which suppprts monitor mode is not available in version 2. i ordered for version 1 but received version 2 which is completely useless for Linux. The website dont provide much information.
Model:- T4U v3 high gain ( if you order T4U , you will get the latest T4U v3 High gain/ with external antenna)Disclaimer:- (My test router did not support MU-MIMO. it might be possible to get higher speeds over MU-MIMO)Pros:-1. Plug and Play for windows 10.2. Dual Band:- supports both 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz.3. Comes with high gain external antenna.4. Maintains good transmission speeds even at a distance from router and obstacles present in between router and adapter.Check attached image for speed details.5. WPS support.6. Supports WiFi mirroring / miracast7. Supports WiFi Hotspot and adhoc network modes.8. Foldable for low profile.External antenna folds on top to give it a profile of a pendrive.(a thick one though. 😀 )9.Supports MU-MIMO.(My test router did not support MU-MIMO)Cons:-1.No proper instructional video for installation on LINUX .Beta Drivers are present but a novice like me can never be able to install them).2.No USB extension cable provided .3.Glossy Surface , easily scratched.4. not performing well on 2.4 GHz band ( but it could me my routers fault and not this adapters.)Overall , i will recommend this product if your internet connection speed is up-to 600 Mbps.Above that speed, this adapter will be a bottleneck.
Works with Honda City 2017 Digipad infotainment system. Just plug into the USB port and thr digipad will automatically start searching for nearby wifi networks.
This product is really horrible..dont even waste your money...my pc is 2 meters away from the wifi router yet i dont get full range... The most frustrating part is it has major driver issues..the driver cd they provided by them is way worse than the drivers available on Windows 10..it messes with the already included windows 10 drivers and ruins stability if you even try to use another wifi usb adapter.. Worse part is it loses net connection every 2 minutes and you have to switch on airplane mode and off it to reset the connection...and after all this i couldn't return it because it was only replaceable not refundable..BUY AT YOU'RE OWN RISK!!!
I bought this to connect my office desktop to the WiFi network. Unfortunately, it can catch the signal only when others are not using such as early morning before my colleagues come or late night. My laptop can perfectly catch the signal at the same position but not this WiFi receiver. It can recieve from my Mobile hotspot. But whats the point? Some reviewers said it is better than the laptop WiFi. It is NOT the case with me. Uselessly lying since the pass three months after having tried in many ways. NOT recomended.
