TP-LinkNano AC600 USB WiFi Adapter(Archer T2U Nano)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Transceiver for PC Desktop, Travel Size, Supports Windows (11,10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP/Mac OS X 10.9-10.14)

Due to a botched repair (My fault...again...) I had to convert the WLAN card slot in an older Yoga laptop to use an compact SSD card instead. This meant that the laptop no longer had onboard WiFi or Bluetooth. I am a retired Wi-Fi field engineer and I know a bit about client performance.First priority here was preventing damage to the USB port, which meant it had to project less than a half inch from the body. It also had to provide Bluetooth. My expectations for performance were minimal and I expected all kinds of grief from power management turning the adapter off during sleep, doze, etc. This adapter more than meets this size requirement.-And surprise surprise, it works much better than I'd hoped. It easily saturates my cable modem link (150 down, 15 up) and more importantly, the link is consistent during Teams meetings and voice calls. The AP I'm using is 10' away on the other side of a kitchen wall. My PHY rate is 250mbps as I write this (5Ghz, 80mhz channel, 1SS, Wi-Fi5/AC link) and the external mouse is BT connected. Too much attention is paid to signal strength and even data rate. What really matters is link consistency and this thing hits the mark.I've been using it for weeks and don't remember having any link drops or issues waking up from power save. There was one occurrence where the laptop went to sleep during a Google Voice call, and the stream was interrupted. It came right back after wiggling the mouse. (BT has been flawless).It's a little expense in my opinion, but as far as I know this is the smallest USB WLAN adapter out there so maybe it's worth the premium. It does allow me to keep this old (But expensive) laptop on the road for another year or two. It dropped right in to Windows 11 without any manual driver installation. My network is WPA-2 so I can't speak to WPA-3 support.I also messed with the super-cheap adapters you can by on the direct-from-china sites. Don't bother. While the size is right, they are consistently awful, even at $5. If you need a tiny Wi-Fi adapter, get this one.

The WiFi Link 1000 adapter in my G71-340US laptop recently failed. It only supported 2.4 GHz and had no access to 5 GHz—despite all my routers being tri-band (2.4 + dual 5 GHz). While troubleshooting, I found the WiFi module was overheating.I could have spent $20 on an OEM 2.4 GHz replacement, but instead chose this dual-band 2.4/5 GHz adapter for $13.I was pleasantly surprised to see a CD-ROM included with drivers for Windows XP through 11, and macOS 10.9 to 10.14. I’d prefer a USB stick or built-in storage on the adapter itself, but there’s also a link to the latest 2021 drivers in the manual which I used instead.Installation was quick and painless: plug in the adapter, run the driver, connect to WiFi. Done.Despite its compact size and no external antenna (a plus in my book), signal strength is excellent. Highly recommended.

I picked this up for a desktop that needed both WiFi and Bluetooth, and it’s been flawless so far. Setup was quick, the connection is stable, and the speed has been great — no lag or drops.Bluetooth 5.3 works smoothly with my headphones and accessories, and the WiFi 6 upgrade has noticeably improved performance compared to older adapters. All of that packed into a tiny, travel-friendly dongle that barely sticks out of the USB port.If you need a simple all-in-one upgrade for connectivity, this little device does exactly what it promises. Definitely recommend.

I did a search on Amazon for a Wi-Fi dongle that would work with linux. This popped up and I ordered it. After about an hour and a half on the phone with tp-link customer service, there was no resolution to its inability to work with linux. I called back a few days later and got a different rep and was told it will never work with linux, only with Windows and Mac os. Worked great for windows, but that is not what I was looking for.

I replaced a USB wireless adaptor that was always dropping my internet signal with this one. I was actually in the middle of a Zoom meeting when it lost internet for the second time. I grabbed this new wifi adaptor and plugged it in, entered the wifi name and password and it joined back into the Zoom meeting and didn't drop again for the entire meeting. It has been rock solid ever since. It seems to have good signal strenth and compatibility. Easy to install, just plug it in and you are good to go. I didn't even need to install a device driver, it was built into Windows 11. I get the full 600mb speed that it offers. I have 1gb internet speed, but 600mb is plenty fast for everything I do at work. I would purchase this again.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Sometimes the cheapest option is the best option, and for my daughter, this tiny little USB antenna extended both the range and speed of her WiFi connection. While the USB antenna appeared to install itself, we also downloaded the driver using the link in the instructions. Our old USB antenna had to be plugged into the front of the PC which faces the direction of the router. This new USB antenna is super fast regardless of the port location on the PC.

It was so easy to install. My IT person suggested it. I installed it with the CD software that was includes. My computer is 6 years old and has been having major WiFi connectivity issues. This device is awesome. Every time I turn my computer on it connects! No more shutting down and trying to reconnect. No more frustration!

My in-warranty HP laptop has quit connecting to our router. Control Panel indicates the Realtek chip has failed. So, until I can get warranty service, I purchased this TP device. It came next day (today) and I straight away plugged it to an open USP port and it immediately recognized our router and started downloading without any installation procedure. The 2nd speed test indicated 200 mps, which is my normal laptop speed
