Works like a champ out of the box. I bought this to add WiFi to my portable (R36) retro game console. It was a no-brainer to config. I just plugged it in and chose my WiFi network. It's been working perfectly. I love it.

Needed wifi for basic tasks, this gets it done cheap. The wifi did work without using the included driver disc but did seem to work faster when I installed the drivers off the disk, just in case someone's wondering.

I got this USB WiFi adapter for my Beelink Mini PC that recently had WiFi hardware failure, which basically turned my Mini PC to a brick since you really can't do anything these days without internet. I tried to fix the Beelink Mini PC but was no use so decided to give this USB WiFi dongle a try before replacing the Mini PC with another one. I picked this one for price that was under $10 and the next day delivery, and it turned out to be a plug-N-play even though it came with an installation CD, which is no use for me as my Mini PC does not have a CD reader. It's tiny USB dongle that looks identical to my wireless mouse receiver and it worked flawlessly. I don't get the as fast internet WiFi speed on this but it works without any issue so I do recommend it. Hopefully, it will last for more than a year!

Providing wi-fi connection for under $9 gives this product an extra star -- I bought 2 immediately before trying it.. Shipping: Purchased at 2 am on Saturday morning, the one day shipping had it at the door by 6pm same night. STAR! Installation: After reading about 100 reviews it seemed that windows should be allowed to install the drivers it recommends.. sadly my windows Vista system couldn't find them (I know that win 7 and 8 are much better at plug and play than vista was). My old pc also couldn't handle the small disk so I cabled up and downloaded the drivers and installed from the TP-LINK site. THIS CAN BE TRICKY.. you need the EXACT firmware for one of many possible hardware versions or you get hosed. The instructions on the site say to look at the back of the device... if you can't find the version its probably 1... NOT TRUE. The version of the hardware is not on the device (it's surface area is less than a U.S. dime - no room on the device) .. The version is on the BOX. What shipped from Amazon was Ver. 2 ... since it was possible to install by reading carefully and a bit of guesswork.. I won't ding the product for the installation instructions. After installing the drivers from the site, I was asked to press the config button on my router - no password or network setup needed. This dialog is from network connections on windows, connect to the network, and click the router button. I imagine you could also connect the traditional way, typing in the information, but the device makes it much easier. After connecting, the internet was there. Tried it with video streaming and 3D games. Ran speedtest.net and got the same download and upload speeds as I did with cable -- about 24 Mbps down and 5+ Mbps upload. The ISP speed was the limiting factor, not the device speed. Range was good across a small apartment (I did not opt for the extended range.. just the tiny little normal range device) I'd give it 6.5 stars, but 5 stars would be my official rating for this. I'll be buying two more to have if I have to replace wi-fi on any other machines.

I gave it Five Stars as those are the only reviews that most people read. It should be a zero as this is NOT a hero. That said, this simply does not work in infrastructure mode as claimed. I tried the included drivers. NOPE! I used the link to drivers that their technical support suggested. NOPE! TP-Link's third support message essentially told me to pound sand. What fun! No thanks. This is a customer that has MANY of their four port routers in my electronics shop - also purchased on Amazon. That won't happen again. I went to another vendor's product > amazon.com/dp/B00762YNMG < YUP! That worked perfectly. More money but it did not leave me doubting about the quality of the product. It worked PERFECTLY using native Windows drivers. No download, no searching, simple P-n-P. Life is now good. TP-Link on the other hand...

I've only had this two days but it's made me very happy! We have an older HP desktop with Windows 7 and no wireless card, and we had to move it across the room from the router, so we lost our Ethernet connection. I had carefully purchased another USB wireless adapter that came highly recommended and cost me $39.99, after checking that it was compatible with Windows 7 and did not require a USB 3 port. However, it started dropping the connections and got to where it would not connect at all either from my desktop or from my (also old) laptop (where I tested it by disabling the internal adapter). After returning the first adapter as defective and getting a second one that did not work either, spending hours on the phone with my ISP and with the other company's tech support (that was no help at all), I finally decided that the fast speed of the other card was making it draw too much power from my USB port, and maybe I needed a slower adapter that would draw less power. I chose this one because the rated speed for the connection to the router is still 3 times as fast as the router's connection to my ISP, and it was cheap enough that I would not lose much if it did not work. Also, there were a couple of other reviews stating they had successfully used it with an HP desktop and Windows 7. It arrived two days ago, I stuck it in one of the USB ports, and we were back on the Internet! No more dropped connections! So yes, I recommend it, especially if you have a computer that is a few years old!

short version: the RMA process makes you waste hours talking with an incompetent support agent so you'll give up. I bet this review gets the same cut/paste "check your drivers" reply as all the other bad reviews. If we knew when we started trying to get an RMA how many hours we'd waste, I would have just bought one from Plugable and thrown the tp-link one out. long version: The wireless card in my wife's Surface Pro 3 died, so I bought this to replace it because of the 2 year warranty. However after a year and a half, it would only work half the time. No software or driver changes were made, not a single other device in the house has issues, there's been no interference from the neighbors, and our router has always been insanely reliable; this was definitely a hardware issue with the product. She borrowed another wifi dongle so she could get online to chat with a support rep about getting a replacement, but the rep kept wanting to re-do diagnostics that were already done, and couldn't understand that if she unplugged the working borrowed dongle to put back the failing TP-Link one they'd be disconnected (a Surface Pro only has 1 USB port), nor could the rep understand it wasn't a driver issue. She was forced to disconnect and start a new chat later from her phone (obviously much harder to type on). The chat agents kept asking questions that she already had to answer in the form to start a chat, so clearly the support company can't even set up their own software correctly. The support agent was also extremely slow to respond, didn't always use clear English, and frequently transferred her. Eventually they insisted on being sent a picture of the computer, but the chat program didn't actually have an option to send pictures. After being told this, the chat agent took several minutes to respond with a picture pointing to a button that doesn't exist saying "use this to send pictures". After being informed (again) that no such button existed, agent sent the exact same picture. The most insulting part is the agent kept saying "I understand..." when clearly they didn't. Finally we got them to let us list all the troubleshooting steps that proved this product was defective, then they forced us to try various increasingly silly ways to "fix" the issue, all clearly indicating that the agent didn't actually understand networking diagnostic (I am a web programmer who's been building and maintaining my own computers for over a decade, trust me when I say these steps were absolutely unnecessary for proving that the product was defective) The support agent was regularly so slow to respond (more than 5 minutes, sometimes more than 10) that WE got a message saying we'd be disconnected if we didn't reply (while waiting for the agent to answer the last thing we said). Over an hour of slow replies later, the agent starts again asking for photos and things that we already stated we tried and we had to give up and disconnect. No matter how many times we said "we already tried that, as I told you" they just kept asking the same questions. Total time wasted so far was about 4 hours. A few hours later they finally agreed to do an RMA but they refuse to pay shipping on the defective part or let us throw it out, so we have to spend almost as much as it would cost to buy a new one just to send the broken one back. At this point we regret ever trying to get them to honor the warranty because of how much time it wasted, but also figured we might as well finish the process up so we at least get the replacement part for all our hassle. after mailing the defective one, we finally got a replacement a couple weeks later. SO far that's been in use for a little over a month, we'll see how long it lasts. Next time I'll buy from Plugable instead, as they state their support is based in Seattle and from what I've read they don't hassle customers nearly as much about replacement of a defective product. I will never buy a product from TP-Link again, unless perhaps a more skilled support agent sees this review, profusely apologizes, and sends out a more reliable model to compensate us for all the lost time. I'm guessing the reply my review will actually get is the same cut & paste "check your drivers, sometimes interference happens, our support team would love to hear from you" response as the other bad reviews.

Worked with my linux machine. No setup or packages required. Just plug in.

Very happy that this works with linux kernel out of the box, unfortunately internet speeds aren't great, but perhaps that is understandable for the small size.

安いし、設定も簡単でした。 コスパは良いと思います。

Works as advertised, perfect for the Rigol DH0804 oscilloscope. Be aware, you can't just plug it into the USB and expect it to work, you need to follow the youtube videos to make it work. You need an USB hub and a keyboard (you can use your touch screen as a mouse), you need to access the settings, use the youtube videos if unsure how to do this, but if you do it right, it's done within 1-5 minutes. Works as a charm.

Perfect for an old computer that has no WiFi capabilities. Had an old computer that had no more windows support since Windows 7. Installed Linux, put this adapter into the USB A port and saved the computer from the landfill. It runs very well on the internet with this USB WiFi adapter. The adapter works on Linux, Windows and Mac. It comes with a CD driver in case you can't get one before an internet connection. It is not super fast because it is USB 2.0 but its quick enough to do anything except maybe on-line gaming. Easier than running Ethernet cables if there is no wall jack close by. you don't need to disassemble your computer to install a WIFI card, just plug and play. Good price. Would buy again.
