TP-Link Usb Wifi Adapter Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter For Desktop Pc
Since i work from home my desk is in the spare bedroom which i refer to as a dead zone. Cell phones cannot get a wifi signal and the wifi connection for laptops are almost non-existent. My laptop is a i7 dell inspiron with windows 10. After reading reviews this may not be compatible with linux which does not bother me. The internal laptop card would read. 5 to 3mbs a second and i realized since my work is mostly cloud based i found that even though i hit save multiple times i kept losing my work. I first thought bigger is always better so i went with a different brand wifi usb adapter that was ac1750 it connected at 1300mbs but the adapter would get extremely hot and it would cause my router to crash causing complete internet loss for everyone in the house. I thought it was an issue with my router so over the course of a two week period i changed my router 3 times. I even tried it on my friends at&t network and it crashed his router as well.
This works surprisingly well with one small change. When i first got it and plugged it in it was working but my download speed topped out at around 30 mbs. That’s okay, and good enough for what i’m using it for but some larger downloads would take quite a while at that speed. I bought a longer cable in hopes that placing it closer to the access point would speed things up. As soon as i plugged the new cable in i was getting speeds of 170mbs, with it being in the exact same spot as before. If you do get this antenna do yourself a favour and buy a better cable, it will make a world of difference.
Plugged this as a replacement for an old archer t2u adapter into a windows 10 desktop and wow, the speed difference is immenseold adapter: 2. 4ghz 20mbps speed, 5ghz 15mbps speednew adapter: 2. 4ghz 40mbps speed, 5ghz 140() mbps speedthe only thing to note is that this adapter does not use a usb extension, but uses a usb 3 to micro-usb cable. This means that you cannot plug this adapter directly into a laptop, but must use a cable to connect them. It’s fine for me since this means my pc can be under the desk and the adapter can sit on the desk where it gets a clear signal.
I have a fast desktop pc (windows 10) that i use for work and games. It has a qualcomm card that supports 2. 4 ghz only and whose antennas are at the back of the pc under the desk. That card got only 80 mbps down/66 mbps up even though i have 1 gb google fiber, so i wired my room for ethernet (800/900 mbps+ both ways). I needed to move my office to a room with no ethernet so i bought this. Easy setup, and compared to the old bard (80/66 mbps, 15ms ping) i am getting 175/229 mbps with 5ms ping. That’s a big enough improvement that i can safely move my home office. Also the unit looks nice and being able to position it on my desk instead of sticking out of the front of the pc is great.
I bought this product because i have gigabit internet speed, but my wifi card is only capable of connecting at half that speed (less depending on which network band it decides to use). I’ve purchased usb wifi adapters in the past and found that they worked fine when they stayed connected, but the connection was unreliable. I found this item and read nothing but good reviews (save for the complaining about the drivers being on a cd). I disabled my built-in wifi card, connected the adapter to one of my usb 3. 0 ports, and installed the drivers using the provided cd. I have not had any connection issues, and the adapter constantly connects on the 5 ghz band. Both my speed tests and various downloads have increased by at least 4x since using this adapter, i’ve had no connection issues, and the internet even connects immediately after i wake the computer from sleep mode; that didn’t always happen with my built-in wifi card. Overall, i have been very happy with this item and i highly recommend it to anyone who needs a faster internet connection, but would prefer a less expensive and quicker alternative to purchasing and installing a new wifi card.
