I bought it, plugged it into my computer, it automatically set itself up, and it works perfectly. I'm running Windows 10. The OC came with a very small USB dongle. With it I could not stay connected to our router for more than a few minutes. I would then need to unplug and replug the dongle to get it to work again. This TP-Link adapter made all my issues disappear. Since the first time I logged into our network it has always been functioning perfectly. Great price. Greater value. I love that it's plug-play-forget.

I thought the receiver was broken because it didn’t work at first, but it turned out I just hadn’t entered the Wi-Fi password correctly. I even went as far as to request a return, but after watching the installation video and trying a few more times, it connected perfectly and turned into an excellent receiver. I was really surprised — I’ll be using it well. I look forward to more great products like this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fast connection and easy setup! This WiFi adapter works perfectly! Setup was super quick — just plugged it in and it connected right away. The signal is strong and stable, even in the rooms farthest from my router. My internet speed is noticeably faster now, and I haven’t had any drops or lag. Great value for the price and definitely worth it if you need to boost your connection.

Solid WiFi Boost with a Few Caveats I’ve been using the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus USB WiFi Adapter to give an older desktop some wireless capability, and overall, it does the job well. Setup was quick—plugging it in and letting Windows handle the driver worked fine for me, though TP-Link’s website offers updated drivers if needed. Performance is solid for everyday use. On the 5GHz band, speeds are noticeably faster and more stable than 2.4GHz, which is expected. Streaming video and browsing felt smooth, and I had no trouble with Zoom calls. The long, high-gain antenna makes a real difference for range—signal strength stayed strong in parts of the house where built-in laptop WiFi usually dips. That said, this isn’t the most compact option. The antenna is large and sticks out quite a bit, so it’s not ideal if you plan to move the computer around or use it with a laptop on the go. Also worth noting: while it supports Mac, it only works up through macOS Mojave (10.14), so newer Mac users are out of luck. Bottom line: A reliable and affordable way to add or upgrade WiFi on a desktop, especially if you need stronger range. Just keep in mind its bulky design and limited MacOS compatibility.

I purchased a refurbished desktop PC to save some money. The PC worked fine but didn't have a wireless network card. The TP-Link USB Wi-Fi Adapter was the easy solution! It was super easy to install- just plug and play.

Super easy to use. It was plug and play. I was replacing an old one with this new one. The old one was physically damaged when moving the CPU. Works great and has a strong signal from the router that is a few rooms away. Great value.

Installing the drivers is easy and the directions are very simple. It feels sturdy and high quality. The connection is also great, I am replacing a smaller one that looks like a little chip, which was not working well for me.

I purchased the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus USB WiFi adapter hoping it would solve a specific issue: my older laptop’s onboard WiFi struggles to detect my work network, even though it connects just fine at home and to public networks. Initially, this adapter seemed like the answer—but it quickly became clear I had traded one set of problems for another, much worse one. The Core Issue: Intermittent Disconnections This seems to be a widespread problem among USB WiFi adapters, especially those using Realtek chipsets (which includes this one). The connection will randomly lag, drop, and completely fail to reconnect. The only fix? Yank the adapter out of the USB port and plug it back in, essentially giving it a hard reboot. Sometimes it reconnects; sometimes it doesn’t. In extreme cases, it disconnects again within seconds. This isn’t a one-off fluke—I’ve experienced it consistently, and it matches what countless others have reported. Not Just This Adapter—Likely a Realtek Chipset Problem After some digging, it appears Realtek-based adapters are notorious for poor driver support, unstable performance, and strange power-related issues. Frustratingly, most affordable adapters on the market use Realtek chips, and it’s difficult to find ones that don’t—there's no central list of alternatives, and product pages rarely specify the chipset used. Bigger Problems: USB Port Glitches and System Instability It didn’t stop with network drops. One morning, I booted up my PC and realized multiple USB ports had stopped functioning. Devices like my speakers wouldn’t work when plugged into these “dead” ports—unless they were already connected when the PC powered on. Even weirder, unplugging the TP-Link adapter would instantly bring those ports back to life. Plug the adapter back in, and things might work—until the next reboot. This wasn’t isolated to my machine either. My wife’s PC experienced an even worse issue: the adapter caused power draw problems during Windows boot, leaving the M.2 SSD underpowered and triggering boot failures. Booting from Linux confirmed the adapter was acting strangely, with system utilities flagging it as a misbehaving USB device. Poor Setup Experience and Misleading Instructions Setup was frustrating too. The adapter couldn’t even detect the specific network I bought it for, although it could see every other nearby network. It also created a TP-Link-branded network that demanded a password or security key that’s never mentioned in the instructions. The manual says to use the WPS button on your router, but guess what—Spectrum routers don’t have one. Dead end. No Real Support from TP-Link Trying to get help from TP-Link is an exercise in futility. Their customer service is almost nonexistent, and their online resources are focused mainly on their routers and modems—not adapters. You’re far better off looking up YouTube videos and Reddit threads. Just don’t expect any kind of direct support. Bottom Line: Don’t Waste Your Time or Money This product, and frankly most USB WiFi adapters using Realtek chipsets, are unreliable at best and potentially damaging at worst. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a week or two of decent performance before the headaches begin. In my case, and in my wife’s, these adapters caused serious system-level problems. I’ll be returning both units and requesting a refund through Amazon—which, thankfully, is usually pretty hassle-free. It’s sad, but I’ve come to view these devices as temporary fixes with a built-in expiration date. You might get lucky. Or, more likely, you’ll end up with a defective product that quietly disrupts your entire system. Recommendation: Avoid this adapter and any USB WiFi device using Realtek chipsets. It’s not worth the instability, power issues, or the time spent troubleshooting.
