I continue to be very satisfied with having purchased my first of two almost two years ago now. It's been rock solid.Update June 30th, 2021I ordered and installed my second of this card in my Linux Server. Works flawlessly! Works with Linux 21.04 perfectly. It also works with Win10 and the new Win11 Preview Edition. You will not regret buying this card.** Update June 22nd, 2021 **This card works on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 with Linux Kernel 5.12.xx flawlessly. If you're a Linux user and are looking for a stable, reliable Wifi card -- this is it. I've been running with it for over a year now and have gone through several Ubuntu Linux version upgrades and numerous Linux Kernel updates all flawlessly. I've experienced zero issues with this Wifi card. If you're a Linux user, rest assured this Wifi card works well.Now my original review of this card:I purchased this card after reading reviews that stated it works with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 as that is the desktop I run.Ubuntu 20.04 w/kernel 5.4.x picked up the card and installed it right away. Did not have to locate a driver online, compile and install manually. It just worked. Just for giggles, I popped in a separate SSD and performed an Ubuntu 20.04 install from scratch to see if the install would recognize it. It did. Saw the card, I selected it, put my WiFi password in and off the install went, downloading updates as well.If you're looking for a blazing fast WiFi card for Ubuntu 20.04 - this is absolutely it. No muss, no fuss, it just works.I also have a Windows 10 boot disk in this computer so I booted Win10 to see if it'd pick up the card automatically - and it did. No surprise there.Conclusion: Solid WiFi card for Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and up to kernel 5.4.3 Same for Windows 10.I may buy another just to have a spare.Update June 3, 2020: I'm noticing some reviewers are reporting that the Bluetooth works for them but the WiFi does not. There's a simple explanation for this: you're installing the card in the wrong slot on your motherboard. The Bluetooth gets its power from a separate connection (USB) on the motherboard, thus the "bluetooth works, wifi doesn't" reviews. Before returning the card as "defective" please make sure you install the card in the proper slot first. If in doubt, it should be the slot closest to the processor (on many motherboards.) Hopefully this helps those who purchase the card and don't know the difference between the "short" and "long" slots on their motherboards.Update Nov. 6th, 2020:Had this card a few weeks shy of 6 months. So far, working flawlessly. I've updated my Linux Kernel to Ubuntu 5.8 and am having zero issues with this WiFi card. I'm purchasing another to go into a legacy AMD FX-8350 build so I can connect it wirelessly with Linux also.I've also updated my WiFi router to a TP-Link WiFi6 model and the wireless speeds I'm getting back to my router are blazing fast. Fully taking advantage of the 300mb Comcast internet connection I have. Very happy with this adapter.

For people who don't want to spend unnecessary amounts of money on a Wifi card for their desktop build, this is a very good option. On my Windows 11 build, it came right up without needing additional drivers; it seems that Windows 11 has support for the chipset in question included in a standard install.If you are a Linux user, you'll want to know in advance that the chipset in this adapter is the Realtek RTL8812AE. Check your distro for driver support using the chipset, rather than the TP-Link model number, to find the right driver. TP-Link does not directly offer its own Linux driver.I found no problems with build quality or the included antennas. Everything fit without having to force or slightly bend backplates, etc., and if you prefer to use a different pair of antennas just order a pair of the very common RP-SMA Male Wifi antennas that almost all Wifi cards use these days. That said, the included antennas do the job nicely, getting almost as good throughput from opposite my house though multiple walls as when in the same room as the WiFi router. You probably won't need to get other antennas.Please keep in mind that this card does WiFi, but NOT Bluetooth. If you need that, either a more expensive dual-purpose card or getting an inexpensive USB Bluetooth dongel (no reason you should spend more than 6 or 7 dollars on such a dongel) would fit the bill.

My wife needed some where to backup her phone pictures, so I decided to pull out her old Windows 7 machine, which restricted my choice of wifi cards. This card seemed to fit my requirements, and for $20, price was not an issue.I got the card, installed it in the machine, powered it up, and put the driver disc in the optical drive. The drivers loaded right up, rebooted, and everything was functional without issue.Easy installation, proper functionality, and good wifi speed for this older hardware. This card is an awesome value for the very low price.
