TP-Link AC1300 USB WiFi Adapter for Desktop PC 2.4/5G Dual Band WiFi Dongle

Works great on my old windows 7 pc. Came with a cd for the driver. Took 8 minutes to install. speed is 252 down 307 up with gig fiber. Totally fine for this old of a pc. 252 mbps down 307 up.

I have my dual level Tp router & now I have the wireless adapter for it, both at the 5 gig level, & things are fast! The only restrictions I have are from the cable company with their signal, & other users hogging the wifi. When I upgrade those (modem & router) to MU-MIMO, it should really fly! This is an old two story house, & I think the cable connection is about as old as Comcast internet cable (in case you ask) in delightful Suburbia, in the town of Mundavia! This mini wireless TP unit installed without any issues, & once I gave it the passwords I wanted, it connected quickly. It switches back & forth on wifi signals modems or routers, if I need it to, & have only had one real error in connecting. I physically removed the device, reset the computer & plugged it back in. I don't believe the issue was with it, but with Windows after an update. How bad is the wifi on your mobo or laptop? Maybe you want to use this wifi to connect better? Be sure to turn off your other wifi connection when you're using this, to get the best connection. I have read some reviews that have an issue connecting, & this could be the reason. I don't believe dual connecting helps or works well in wifi, you'll have to configure one that yourself. This won't connect you any better than what your modem or router are projecting. It will get the 2.4 or 5 Ghz signal that you're looking for, & make sure it gets to the computer better. Let me be clear for you, your connection will either be up to 400Mbps at 2.5GHz or up to 867Mbps at 5.0 GHz. Somewhere in there is the same kind of fuzzy math that drive manufacturers use, to come out with 1300. Still better than my last adapter, that's for sure! That's it. It's small, easy to carry along or leave in place. I have it plugged in the front USB 3.0 rn on my tower, but I don't unplug it nearly as often (to reset) as I have other wifi connectors, so may move it towards the rear. I have used TP Link for quite some time, use many of their products on the builds I do for other people as well, & look for it exclusively; you should too. Easy & consistent is always good.

My Dell laptops on board wifi started acting wonky so I bought this as a replacement ..easy installation and it's a much stronger faster connection. I definitely recommend this for a low price high quality upgrade

I got this WiFi adapter back in 2022, and it has worked amazingly! It is super cheap, gets the job done, and kept my ping between 7-16. It is so easy to use and it is super tiny, very surprised how well it has worked over that past few years. Although it seems like it is slowly starting to have some problems. Sometimes I need to unplug and replug it in for it to work now, and it takes a second to connect. For 15 bucks, it was definitely worth every penny! I really like the brand, I’ll definitely will be getting an upgrade sooner than later.

Ordered two of these. The first one was for my wife's Windows 11 computer and it worked fine. So, even though it doesn't mention Linux compatibility, I decided to try it on my computer running MX Linux 21.3 (Debian 11.11) and it worked perfectly, no need to install any drivers. So, I ordered a second one for me to replace an older WiFi adapter, and saw an increase in throughput. There is a driver CD included (Windows and Mac) but I didn't need it on either the Windows or Linux machines.

After we moved to a new house, I had one PC that was too many rooms away to run an ethernet cable from the Wi-Fi router. It had been so long since we needed a Wi-Fi USB adapter however, that the only ones I still had were causing a massive bottleneck. This solved that problem and worked out of the box with a simple plug and play.

Just.\nAs stated

Overall, there is a decent connection. However, during conversations over video or audio I have noticed numerous disconnections or freezes where it seems to drag or lock up. Would not recommend this for work from home or anything beyond casual internet connection. Has made me switch to other devices for a more stable connection

Fonctionne parfaitement. Cet adapteur m’a permis d’utiliser mon vieil ordi et de me brancher à mon nouveau routeur. Branchement super rapide et très facile.

Vi que había algunas quejas del adaptador nano en cuanto al alcance de la señal así que me decidí por la versión ac1300, el adaptador soporta las redes 2.4 y 5 ghz del internet de fibra óptica de telmex, en windows 10 solo se conecta y empieza a funcionar, no es necesario instalar controladores, excelente alcance de señal, hay una pared de concreto entre el modem y la pc y haciendo pruebas de rendimiento descargo mis archivos a toda velocidad, hasta el momento ninguna queja del producto, recomendado.

Very nice item works smoothly! And the seller very approachable! salute to you sir!

Excelente produto. Salvou a possibilidade de conexão à rede wifi do meu computador

The item arrived promptly. It lived up to its review as a plug and play!
