AMAZING PRODUCT WITH 1 CATCH
consistent 5ghz speeds. Everythings good even after continuous usage of days.Just one con – driver compatibility issues with windows 10. You may face some issues. But solvable if u look for a solution.Works perfectly with windows 11.A no brainer product if u need to connect to higher band speeds on your old devices or pcs.

Just grabs internet like crazy
Great for capturing increasing signal strength in laptop/PC, it’s obnoxious at this point.

Good for Wifi Penetration Testing but not the best.
I bought this adapter for WiFi Penetration testing. Everything I was able to do but not the evil twin attack which requires VIF (Virtual Interface). If you want to purchase it for evil twin attack, you must buy other ALFA Adapters like ALFA AWUS036ACM, ALFA AWUS036ACHM or ALFA AWUS036AXML.

The Extra Antenna Does Miracles!
Worth buying just for the antenna itself! Picks up low signal and works well. But don’t try to do file transferring when you have low signal. Everything will move at a snail’s pace around KB/s.

Excellent!
I was facing lots of issues with my Airtel wifi due to distance between wifi router and my PC also there are two concrete walls to penetrate. My Airtel plan is for 50 Mbps but I used to get hardly 3-5Mbps.I got this this TP-LINK AC1300 Archer T3U Plus High Gain USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Dongle, and now I am getting full speed that is 50 Mbps ! It is a sort of a miracle for me !Installation is just plug and play, Windows 10 set it up without needing any driver, but to be on a safer side, I installed device specific driver downloaded from TP Link web site.There is one older model , cheaper than this but I suggest to go for this , this one is the latest one and better in performance.

OMG My 8 Years old laptop now supports 5Ghz 250Mbps
Review for TP LINK AC600 High Gain With signal antenna/ ARCHER T2U Plus.Ohh my ghosh, what to say, I do not have any words right now. This thing has made my 8 years old laptop compatible with 5Ghz WiFi band which is supporting my jio fiber’s 250Mbps speeds. Previously by mistake I had bought tp link wifi extender which was only supporting 2Ghz bands, but this is dual band that supports both 2 and 5Ghz bands.Pros:1. No special app is needed, just plug in USB 3.0 port and boom. It will take 2-3 seconds on windows 10 to install driver automatically once plugged in. Afterwards just click on wifi icon and select WiFi 2 at the top. There you will be able to see your 5Ghz SSID.2. Comes with a signal booster antenna. My ghosh this device at INR 1100 is a life saviour for me. Now not only I am able to connect my 5Ghz ssid but also due to the network boosting antenna I am getting full signals in the room where I used to get very poor signal.3. WiFi Extender+ Dual Band. This thing will save you some money if you are looking for WiFi extender and 5Ghz supporter. This thing does both CHEERS!

Can’t believe my eyes. The range is crazily good.
Previously, I had only 1 dot of range. But now, I get full-bar strength wifi. I wasn’t sure if this would’ve helped before buying it. But now, I’m so happy with this! Works like wonders! There wasn’t a need for driver installation on win 11, it’s a straight up plug and use. And the wifi speed skyrocketed. It’s a must buy. Go blindly for the high gain one.

Easy to use
It gave a boost to the WiFi network strength as compared to the strength of the same network I got on my laptop’s WiFi reception without this antenna. I have the Kali Linux on my PC but I have not tested it for packet injection yet.

Quality utility appearance installation
Before purchasing this item I have done my research a lot and finally go with this. The product is very good in terms of appearance, compatibility, installation and utility. The packaging is also good.Anybody can purchase it without any hesitation but yes, sometimes due to your bad luck the product inside the box may not give pleasure to you.Otherwise it’s a completely 5 star deserving product.

Wonderful Product
There is no doubt that the product T3U plus is a remarkable product that enhances the capability of your older laptop to a new one! My laptop is Dell Inspiron laptop i5 3521 model with 4gb ram. This comes with wifi adaptors of b/g/n only. When I bought this in 2012 this was a good configuration. But now we were facing problems with my daughters online tuition due to low signal catching capability in rooms away from the main Wifi in living room. I read reviews and decided to buy although the product was under no return policy but replacement only.WARNING!!! The first time I received the package, the box was of T3U while the product inside was T2U plus which I didnt notice initially. WHen I tried to install the driver, it would not recognize the hardware. Then I looked up online discussions and found out that such adaptors would show an LED light on plugging in. Well, this product did not light up an LED also. So basically, someone in between had swapped the original product with a defective one. SO I contacted customer service and and the person Nuvnoor immediately placed a request for replacement which came the very next day from Chennai.It is important to know that this time the product box came sealed with factory thin plastic seal which was not so in the earlier package. On plugging in to my laptop, the adaptor after being recognized by the driver worked like a breeze! The room where we were getting hardly 20-30mbps from 2.4Ghz wifi adaptor was getting 150-160mbps. SO I am very satisfied with the product and would reccommend this to anyone who wants to enhance their computer or laptop wifi capability.However just be careful of the product your receive. Four stars are given for that reason only. Otherwise the product itself deserved 5 stars!!!

Very good product
Good product. It can give u very good speeds for long time. The performance depends upon ur plan and download of big files. For gaming purpose, entertainment purposes,it’s great. It can heat up a lot if you try to download big files with very high speed internet. I am using 200mbps plan and tried to to download 8gb file which heated it lot and slowed down the performance for a while. Other than that it’s a great product. great wifi signal range and it’s just plug and play. Go with 3.0 one because if u want to download large files with high speed internet it will be the best choice.I have used while using virtual machine for Oracle database and I didn’t face any issues. So I think it won’t be much problem with any other os related Virtual machines.

Good product, easy to use
Easy to install, provides good range and support for 5GHz networks. Product quality is good too apart from only one issue that it’s delicate. After about 4 months of use, it has become a bit loose and sometimes get disconnected automatically.

Stable signal, good range with dual band advantage
(On 3 days of usage)• Easy to install• Good strength & range, at par with embedded wireless chips• Stable signal, doesn’t disconnect• Antenna really works, not a gimmick• 5GHz receives full speed at typical 5GHz rangePlastic quality of the antenna could’ve been better. Feels fragile. But no competitor does it any better, so not complaining.

Recommend, I am getting the maximum speed available in 5G connection.
I thought adaptor is will not perform as ethernet but surprisingly it almost compete with ethernet hed to head. If u have a 5g phone go for it best way to use your unlimited 5g trial offer.

Monitor mode & Packet Injection & Ap mode
It support all the modes no doubt .But if you are purchasing it for Evil twin attack it will not work with single adapter you need to purchase 1 more adapter for deauthingso i prefer also purchase nodemcu with it (price 253rupees extra )or buy TL-WN722N adapter with node mcu (price 953 for both)

For Kali Linux it Works
Disclaimer: This information is for educational and research purposes only. It supports monitor and packet injection modes, and works successfully in my VMware. I didnt try SOFT Ap mode , very budget friendly and for new comers, good to go with it, u just have to install some driver for that, but if u can afford Alfa Adapter, u should go with ’em. There are T600U PLUS and T2U PLUS ,two similar adaptors, but make sure u have to strictly go with the T2U PLUS .

Good Product & Quality, somewhat expensive
My Airtel wifi is at ground floor and I usually sit on first floor so wifi signal comes through 3 walls in between.I have Acer Nitro 5 with Intel wifi 6 module & Airtel fiber plan of 100 Mbps, so I was getting slow internet speed as well as there was frequent disconnection between conference calls, so after using this TPLink wifi overall internet connectivity got improved, conference call disconnection stopped. I initially thought that I will get something 50 mbps speed but 27 Mbps is also fine. Slightly gets worm.

Good product but not for hacker and Kali Linux users
Nice product. But if you buy this for Wi-fi or any kind of hacking using Kali Linux then don’t buy this because after Kali Linux 2024.02 version release it don’t work with Kali Linux OS. If you install the Realtek drive in your system also. So, go for any othe non-Realtek adapter. But if you buy for windows system and regular use then it’s totally fine and I recommend go for it because it’s really worth it. 👌 😄

600mbps is not to be expected I guess.
With a 200mbps connection, getting 100 with this. Plug and play works well.
