  • Great Little Guy, Just Remember To Update Drivers!
Style: AC1300 Dual Band
I was so ready to give this a one star review. I got very used to plug and play stuff and I went ahead and tested this without updating the drivers. My computer already recognized the device and connected, and I didn't have a CD drive to put the included CD in so I figured what's the worst that could happen? I was very disappointed to see myself getting 20mbps down and 1 up. I was used to getting 300 down and 10 up on wifi, and I had previously used ethernet so I got used to speeds even faster than that! I figured that since it was at least working that I'd bear with it (hey, it's still better than what a lot of people have, even right here in the US) and go ahead and try the drivers. What I found was surprise, surprise, 387 down and 10 up. Like I said, I'd used ethernet before this so I'm used to better speeds, but my router was only recently upgraded so I was getting more like 150 down wired and 50 on wifi (the 10 up seems to be a constant). I fully recommend this little guy. It performs just as it needs to, up to the peak of my home wifi (which is about 92 times faster than the national average), so I suggest you don't go and waste your money on getting those 20 dollar desktop wifi 6 dongles. They clutter up your desk, have annoying wires, and at that point you would be better off spending your time or money figuring out how to route and ethernet cable through your house. 100% recommend for gaming, 100% recommend for streaming, 100% recommend for big downloads. ... show more

  • Started with 5 star, changed to 1, now up to 3
Style: AC1900 Dual Band
5 Star. This is replacing a simple plugin wireless N adapter. We were unable to stream 4K movies on the home network so we figured we'd give this a try. Installation was simple. You either plug it directly into a port on your computer or use the cradle to sit it in and run a cable from the port to the cradle. Since this particular computer only had 3.0 plugs on the front and not the back we opted to use the cradle rather than have this sticking out in the front of the computer. It looks nice sitting in the cradle plus this gave it more height over being plugged into the computer which was on the floor so there's no problems there. The included disc didn't work at all with 10x64. It just kept throwing out errors. Going online and downloading the proper drivers was easy enough and those installed without any trouble. It connected to the network with no issues. One thing I don't understand fully is how it chooses the wireless type it uses. For example, when first installed, just a mere 4 hours ago from right now, it stayed on the 2.4 GHz band for about an hour then when I came back and looked again it was then on the 5 GHz band. It says on the box that you can choose between the two bands but it doesn't say how and there's no instructions. So I hope it stays on the 5 GHz band because I don't know how to change it if it doesn't. Also, there's no instructions on how to change the channel that's being used. Of course, this only applies to people who don't already know how to do things like this but there's plenty of them. Including me when I'm trying to install this on Windows 10 on a friends computer. I don't know where anything is on Windows 10 so basic instructions would have been helpful. One more thing is the antenna. It doesn't state how you should place the adapter for optimal coverage in the direction that you want. I know it's omni-directional so it probably doesn't matter that much. It just seems that one way would always be even slightly better than another. But, all of that aside, I then tried to stream 4k movies to 2 different locations in the house that didn't work before. They both streamed with no buffering! So, as of now, this device seems to have fixed my problem. I would recommend this device to others. If anything changes I will come back and edit this review. EDIT 1 Star: This product only worked for about 10 days before the speeds just died. The first 10 days it did great. I could stream anything I wanted with zero buffering problems, which is why I got this device to upgrade from the Wireless N adapter built into the computer. For some reason, I still don't know why, after about 10 days it just went to garbage. I can't stream 4k, Bluray or even DVD quality - and this is on the 1.3Gb home network not over the internet. It states that it's connected via Wireless AC on the 1.3Gb network yet the connection feels like it's dead. I can't stream anything on the home network to any other device in the home. On the internet, speed tests are only getting to around 20Mb where they got to my usual 150Mb before. If I disable this device and go back to the Wireless N adapter built into the PC the internet speeds are what they should be and I can stream DVD and Bluray quality on the home network but still not 4K, which is why I bought this. I wish I knew what happened to it so I could fix it. All I needed was a little extra available speed so I could stream 4K on the home network, it worked great for 10 days, but then something happened and now it performs much worse than my Wireless N connection. I've uninstalled the device, reinstalled it, disconnected from the network, reconnected multiple times, restarted the PC multiple times. Nothing works. It looks like I'll be sending this back for a refund and trying to find a different Wireless AC adapter. EDIT #2 3 Star: After messing with this for a couple of days something made me think of trying a System Restore. So I restored the PC to before I first installed this adapter. After the Restore I reinstalled this adapter and, of course, it works wonderfully. My Internet speeds are where they should be. I can stream DVD, Bluray and 4K quality movies over the home network with no buffering. It's working as well as it did when I first installed it. Now, do I keep it or still return it for not really being trustworthy? I have about 2 weeks still to be able to return it so I'm going to use it for a week at least. If it messes up so much as once it's going back. Edit #3 3 Star: Well I have 5 days left to return it and it did mess up just earlier today but it wasn't the adapters fault. I don't think anyway. Windows did an update and after that it had reverted all of the Network settings to Default. This messed everything up but once I got the settings back where they should be it worked again. Not really the adapters fault so I'm not going to blame it. One thing I have noticed though, and it's kind of annoying, is how the adapter connects after a reboot. After a reboot the adapter will show it's using Wireless AC protocol but it will be on the 2.4GHz band and a low channel, 3 for me, for about 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes it then jumps to the 5GHz band and a higher channel that's in the hundreds. So, for me, the Internet is very slow and home network video streaming is completely out until it jumps to the 5GHz band. I don't know why it doesn't start connected to that instead of the 2.4GHz band. I'm going to keep it, reluctantly, simply for the fact that when it does work it works very well. That said, if you've read this far and know of another brand or model that works solidly every time do let me know in the comments! ... show more

  • May need to update drivers to gain fast speeds
Style: AC1900 Dual Band
My review is for the AC1900 wifi adapter. My computer doesn't have a CD drive but it isn't terribly difficult to find and download the driver from TP Link's website. First impression was awful. I thought the product didn't work as intended and my speeds were coming out to be 10-25 mbps, which is no where near the 300 mbps I was expecting. Then I looked under device manager > network adapters > tp-link wireless usb adapter and saw there was an option to update the driver. Updating the driver solved my problem and now I'm getting 230+ mbps, which is what I expected since my computer is a little far from the router. I have had this product for several weeks now and have found my connection to be stable. ... show more

  • It is great.
Style: AC1300 Dual Band - Newer Model
Have this on a refurbed desktop that had no wifi. Just inserted it into a USB port and ran the CD and there appeared the little wifi symbol with full strength. The wireless modem is in next room with a plaster wall in between, no problem. And by the way I’m using it with USB 2.0 since that’s what the old workhorse has. I was really afraid it would struggle but it doesn’t. Very happy with this. ... show more

  • What freedom to move my older wired computer to my new areas and be wireless
Style: AC1300 Dual Band - Newer Model
I didn't even know that I had a choice of moving my older wired computer to another location and make it wireless. My daughter bought this for me, hooked it up within minutes, and now the computer is where I have always wanted it to be. No problem in reception or speed from my modem at the other end of my house. Perfect solution, and much much much cheaper than purchasing another computer. ... show more

As written in the title, update the driver for this thing immediately! The two results in my photo are before/after I updated the driver. As you can see, it made a HUGE difference. Go to the manufacturer's website. Go to the support page, search for "Archer T3U Nano". Download the latest driver for whatever operating system you use and install it. ... show more

Tried a lot of stuff to get Wi-Fi to my gaming PC in my office room that has a good amount of walls between it and the main router. Wi-Fi card adapter and Wi-Fi extenders didn’t work but this clever little dongle did. I will say disable your firewall and antivirus when downloading driver, otherwise may run into issues like I did. Works great now, 1 bar to 5 full bars. ... show more
