The best product to buy and is realy worth – 5/5
Rushikesh –
I used this for windows and it gets me 59 mbps and my plan is 60 mbps so pretty good i would say but when i boot into linux (Zorin, Manjaro, Arch, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kali Linux) the speed fluctuates till the point that it is unuable i thought it was the problem of linux kernle but i never got a solution for it and had to use ethernet wire dont go for it if you want to use it for linux instead get a wire and use it, tho it works like a charm for windows not so great for linux sometimes the speed is 40 mbps and sometimes 0.3 mbps i dont recommend it for linux

Like this product, one thing that is the installation drive is corrupted after one use, if someone go for install it into another computer then he must have visit the official site and download the driver which is also not so easy to fetch.

This product is good to convert wired desktop to wireless. Make sure you check the following:Latest routers with high speed config like 5Ghz will not support this USB; if you have older router it may work.Desktop is in close wifi routerThis can work on mobile hotspotBefore you buy make sure what is your router, does desktop support usb 2, what windows version you have.google videos for what you are expecting and than buy the product.TPLink have wifi USB adapters which support higher speeds.
Yash Ahuja –
It worked well for the first two months. Slowed down in the 3rd month. Now it’s completely useless. Keeps disconnecting every few minutes. Better go for a different company’s product!

On a 50 MBPS network, it gives you 2-3 Mbps while any other device shows over 40 from the same place at the same time.Doesn’t worth it

Doesn’t have 5G support. Works with 2G at a speed of less than 10MBPS. If you have 5G router, go for higher version adapter supporting 5G or both.

You need to have a CD Drive to use it because the drivers are loaded on a CD which is delivered along with the device.

#1. No 5Ghz Bandwidth availability for high speed.#2. Internet speed gets down on device heat up after continuous run.#3. Non Returnable / Non Refundable so after buying this you have no other option to keep it with you as they only provide replacement and dont refund.

it’s doesn’t catch 5g signal it can catch only 3g signal. that means you get a maximum speed of 30 Mbps only though you may have a plan 150 Mbps plan.

I bought this for my old windows 7 PCs for few day back. Appario delivered this very promptly.But the pathetic experience is installing driver by using supplied disc and from Tp link site also.They couldn’t recognise the device. I thought that either my adapter was faulty or the usb port of my PC is defective. But after replacing the adapter from Appario (which also send very promptly)the problem remains. Then I took consultation from youtube install the driver anyway. But this is third party software.
firoz khan –
It has nothing to do with sim ,as it mentions 4g of all companies supported. It is an adapter. Money wasted no use and cannot be refunded.

I bought this for kali as I said this does not perform well in kali very unstable ,If you deal with it it will work in kali(need to install drivers which gave me errors after a bit research I was able to install It)After installation of drivers monitor mode works and also packet injection works but, remember this very unstable ,Okay if you can deal with it

They said it’s 150 Mbps but it is much much slower better choose better one then this.
Rekon Snipe –
There are better options available if u want the adapter for packet injection. Otherwise it is a good product, a bit overpriced but good. This can be upgraded to support monitor mode(check youtube videos by David bomba) but at the same time u can get better adapter with inbuilt monitor mode.

Brilliant device, it’s been 5 years since I bought it, and no problems whatsoever! I love the build quality, it still looks brand new. I used this on my desktop with windows 7, windows 10, and on Ubuntu 16.x, also with a Samsung smart TV and a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian and XBMC. On all of them it works perfectly within three seconds of plugging it in, no setup whatsoever required.Range is quite decent too. Too bad it’ll soon be obsolete with new Wi-Fi standards such as Wi-Fi 6 and gigabit Wi-Fi.

The wifi adapter build quality is decent as it’s made out of plastics. But it’s still fine.The wifi adapter is easy to use and easy to install and provide higher connectivity.The adapter comes with a usb 2.0 adapter which is really awesome to see.And about the SPEED it’s way better what i have experienced in other adapters. My data plan is 60mbps. The adapter provides me 22 mbps constant. As my router is my other room it provides constant speed.Like for TP Link!!!!!!!

My laptop’s in-built wifi started to malfunction and was not sure if it was an issue with my laptop wifi. For a few days tried connecting to various wifi routers and eventually understood it was issue with my laptop wifi receiver.Ordered this product and using for over 72 hrs now. Working fine and seamless connectivity.All you need to do is.. disable you laptop wifi. Once you plug this USB wifi adapter, install the driver given in the CD. The network options with list this new wifi adapter as WIFI 2. Go-ahead and connect.
narendra –
Super working
Paul Mula –
Am giving 5 stars for now as it’s working absolutely fine as it was mentioned, however, done expect the speed to that of 5GHz WiFi signal though it says supports upto 150Mbps, I have 100Mbps connection but I hardly get no more than 14Mbps at any given point in time. It addressed the issue as I was looking for WiFi adapter for my old Dell Laptop as the onboard one is having compatibility issues with Windows 10 as it keeps losing the connection every couple of hours.If anyone wants to use their old laptops or desktops for extended time and looking for USB WiFi adapter the I definitely recommend this one. Value for money
Biswajit D.Biswajit D. –
It is durable and compact, it also has a nice range. And it provides a good speed.

I use wifi almost 24/7. But it never gave a single piece of lag or discontinutions at all. This piece is an example of perfect value for money product, also it’s signal catching strength is good.

It is merely an Adapter and not an Extender, as I had expected. So albeit it worked fine on my connected Desktop giving out strong signals that already had strong wifi; however, I needed it to boost the wifi to downstairs to connect a mobile which it didn’t do. So I had to return it. But I must say, if you are looking for an Adapter, this is an excellent choice. It was effortless to install and use. 👍🏽

I am using it as a replacement for my office Dell Precision 5540 laptop. The laptop is a high-end config with Core i7 and 16GB RAM.. however the inbuilt WiFi is weak. I cannot connect to my home WiFi from my bedroom.This TPLINK Wifi connects like a charm with dependable signal strength.However, it takes about 10-20 seconds to switch WiFi’s for some reason. Noticably slow. But, for me the signal strength improvement alone is worth it. Works out of the box even with Linux, and I am able to see both the WiFi adapters listed clearly in the control pane.
Pankaj –
Guys, purchased it to do WFH. my earlier wifi adapter was a pain(shopToStop Shaggy baggy…), but this one works like a magic, no more disconnection once connected to wifi, its version 2 that is sold here in india, so download the drivers first from their website, although CD is given along with product.Overall this product is very very stable, signal strength is good, it has a blinking Green light which tells u that it is connected. go for it without any thoughts, 3-years warranty from TP Link on this product, its the no. 1 product for external USB wifi connection..believe me!!! Just go for It.

I wanted to use this for CPPLus Orange cctv DVR, was not sure whether this will work or not as the description mentioned setup is required and cd is provided. Took a chance and bought this. I just connected this to the USB outlet of DVR and lo and behold, it started working instantaneously. The signals are good and have faced no issues until now.

Product: YP-LINK WN 722NAfter trying alot of things I got to know the adapter is working very nicely for receiving wifi signals but if you are planning to buy it for Kali Linux to make packet injections, You need to check which V1 or V2 model of this product are you receiving! After doing alot of research some says v1 supports packet injection and V2 doesn’t but some YouTube channel says it do support V2 !(may be to gain attention,views and money)! But I checked the V2 product totally and performed everything to bring it to monitor mode but failed and can assure you it doesn’t work for V2 !Update : You can use some methods to fix the packet injection enabling ! Need to change the drivers !(But after every restart or unplugging of device you have to run few commands to make it run again in monitor mode)Thanks in advance !
Ertles –
Works just fine as described by seller. The WiFi switch broke on my old laptop and the WiFi kept disconnecting frequently, so went for this adaptor. The driver could not be installed from the disc provided so got it from the website instead and it works. Signal strength is good, no disconnection issues so far. Totally recommended.
Veeru P. –

Naveen –
Bought this item for 700Rs on offer time, for that price this is an absolute VFM product..it have an long range which helped me a lot. please note the point that the product I got is V2 not V1, So it is harder to use this one for WiFi penetration in Kali Linux.

It is a good product but only single band. No dual band or 5ghz wifi support so expect slower speeds. If you have more than 30mbps connection at your place then don’t buy this product.

this simply enable wire less option to your desktop or laptops without having wireless connectivity and it works fine with linux distros including kalli and parrot but this driver doesn’t support moniter mode , packet injection and apns tp link tl-wn722n version 1 support these feature unfortunately version 1 is stopped and v2 and v3 is available in indian market so don’t buy this for pentesting or wifi hacking it doesnt support and don’t waste money hence this is good wifi adapter to desktop pc and it has wps button inbuilt is too use full to connect your pc with router without entering password and i like this it turns my pc wire less and it works fine with 2.4 ghz and it doesnt detect 5hz wifi signals
Ravi Chotaliya Ravi Chotaliya –
This product is branded so no worries on reliablity as u have 3 years warranty.But one thing I noticed is its connection range or distance is a bit less. My Acer laptops inbuilt WiFi is also much stronger to maintain the WiFi connection even if I roam with my hotspot device away from laptop by 1 floor above my Ground floor home.I found that the signal strength decreases by one point if there’s a wall in between source and this wifi adapter.@TP-Link this can be a point of improvement your upper bench mark can be to achieve connection strenghth or range (distance) equal or higher than Acer Aspire E5-574 Series’s inbuilt WiFi.Else everything is good, Thanks @Tp-link.

Currently I have 3 of these at my home. I first bought this for my old desktop since it had no inbuilt WiFi adapter. Next I bought it for me and my moms laptop as we were facing WiFi adapter issues. Works without the drivers..just plug and play… Must buy if you are facing wifi adapter issues. Works flawlessly. Cheaper than getting inbuilt WiFi adapter replaced.
Abhijit Das –
I plugged this in my PC’s rear USB port (rear USBs are better than front). Initially, I used a rear port which I don’t use much – it did disconnect from the router after an hour, so I replugged it into a better USB port, and it works perfectly. I tried pinging the router – it fails once in 3000 pings maybe (99.9% success). And while browsing the web, I haven’t come across “page not found…check internet” errors to date. I also noticed that if I plug another USB device next to this adapter, then the ping fails often – so the issues that many of these reviewers are facing may hav to do with problems with their PC hardware/other USB devices that may be causing interference. It may help to disconnect other USB devices or switch them to a front USB port. Some reviewers hav said it failed after a month’s use – that doesn’t make sense. Earlier I had a Belkin wireless G – this TP Link adapter is miles better. My router is in an adjoining room, 20 feet away from the PC.update:This device ceased functioning after about 6-8mnths. So i switched to a DLink device, which has been working ok for several years now. Also, it helps to connect the device to a usb cable and then plug the cable into the PC’s usb port, rather than plug directly into the USB port.

Hey Guys let me try to give some honest review.Reason why purchased it?I wanted to test monitoring mode for wireless hacking, as ALFA adapters are of quite high range this was the best in price.Cons :1. The latest version i.e. version 2.0 uses realtek drivers which doesn’t work on Kali Linux 2017/2016 as tested2. So you should think before you buy this, mostly you will get v2.0 only as v1.0 is getting obsoletePros:1. Amazing speed. 4dBi is awesome. I tried to test the signal strength and it worked like charm2. Quite light weight, plug and play deviceMy take :Had to return the product as the device drivers doesn’t support in Kali linux.

Product installation is at ease. (You get CD to install driver ) For WIN10 the driver got automatically detected and no issue with installation.Signal strength high to medium. unable to find the wifi signal of 15 to 20 feet router (TP link Router).Somehow after lot of RND got it working. Take this as an advice and consider b4 buying.

Pavitra Shekhar –
Its a good product, the setup was easy just insert the disc that comes with the package and it installs the necessary drivers. However the as for the signal strength its fine if the router is close by but if you’re in another room then it really slows down the speeds. So my suggestion is please go for the any bigger adapter preferably with an antenna cause that’ll give you much faster speeds(limited to your internet connection) and much much much better wifi signal.A good product overall.

Guys if you pissed of from your built in network adapter then really you are at right place. I also have the same problem. i have a dell laptop.My pc sometimes don’t show my wifi in the wifi list many times but at the same time it was showing in the other devices. I thought that may be it was because of my drivers. so tried all the possibilities i could that included installing ubuntu, debian, windows 8, windows 10. i tried everything even talking to the dell customer support, as my pc was out of the warranty so ultimately i had to do everything. But one just i find this and then it was like booommmmmmmmm.so if you had just pissed off from your in built network adapter then you can just try at once. hope you guys this will help you.

For those who were using internet on pc via usb tethering ( phone’s internet connection ) …..this small wireless adapter device can help u a lot …., overall great product from tp-link. working like e charm on windows 8.1 pro. max upload speed i got- 33 Mbps and max download speed i got- 36 Mbps. I don’t think anybody would afce any problem using it on mac and windows, for linux users, i haven’t tested it ….===========================================================================Will update it’s review after using it for a month, will updates it’s compatibility on windows and linux also.

Pros. Super easy to install and ready to use out of the box device. Super compact size and design makes it look cleaner. If you don’t have any other option left than using wireless then and only then go for wireless network or use this device.Cons. While gaming ping spikes so badly (for CS:GO it spikes to valves highest). Sometimes ( mainly during important work) signal drops. Video buffering is comparatively high than wired internet ( if you more into media consumption).
Rohan Singh –
The adaptor works fine. The look of the adapter is quite handy and good. Only problem I found that the internet speed is a little slow
Akash ChoubeyAkash Choubey –
You can see speed test. On an average it 50Mbps. I connect this to J6. And copy phone data. I got V3.0 which is latest. Wifi signal is so good. If you have your wifi in another room or in ground floor and you are on 1 floor, you will get full signal.I cut 1 star because, its design. If you have laptop and having to usb port one after one, then you might not able to use other usb port because of this design. Check usb port of this devise, two side having too much plastic. One more problem is that, in desktop i cant move antina in upward direction.Price change between Rs 699- 749 , First check offline may be you can buy for Rs 549 – 649.
Parikh –
Could compact practical product. As advertised.
ssm002 –
Dont use the officially available drivers for V 3.0 of the product(wn 725n)-it will slow down your internet speeds and you may think your device or connection is not functioning optimally.Use the built in drivers included with windows 10,even though they too have some stability issues.TP link should really work to improve the quality of their drivers.

This tp link product high gain wifi reciever is great in terms of connection and wifi signal. I am using on first floor and router is on ground floor still i am getting 29 Mbps and strong network signal my plan is 40 Mbps only so this speed is more than enough for me . For those who is frustrated from weak signal and slow speed give it a try you will never regret it. Full satisfied with this tp link product

Girish Deveshwar –
I bought this WiFi receiver for my desktop, when we moved to a new house, and the earlier option of wired internet was not feasible due to placement of the WiFi router. It had good reviews, and I have used TP-Link routers/ modems in the past, which led me to not hesitate while making this purchase. Although, I should have paid more attention to the reviews.There were a lot of connectivity issues, as the desktop could not connect with WiFi – despite even relocating router next to the desktop. Before returning it, I read on various forums that such issues can be caused by interference with wireless keyboard/ mouse dongles (which was attached to the front part of the CPU cabinet in my case). So, I shifted the WiFi receiver dongle to the rear portion of the cabinet, which made absolutely no difference to the connectivity.My brother got the idea that we can maybe place this receiver away from CPU body. We got a USB extension, and tried that. And well, it started working.However, this was not the end of a frustrating experience, but the start of one. The issues persisted, as at any random time, it would stop responding, and you would need to physically remove it from the desktop, then attach again for it to start working. At times, even that would not work, and rebooting the desktop was required.After 5 odd months of this, and the belief that some interference is leading to such issues, I finally relented to my brother’s whims, and thought that at least a different WiFi receiver dongle can be tried. I thought to give a shot to a unbranded version which was almost half the price –
Wi-Fi Receiver 300Mbps, 2.4GHz, 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wireless Mini Wi-Fi Network Adapter
. And with that, everything changed.I connected the Unbranded Alternative WiFi receiver dongle to USB extension. It works with no issues. I connected the Unbranded Alternative WiFi receiver dongle to the rear portion of CPU cabinet. It works with no issues. I finally connected the Unbranded Alternative WiFi receiver dongle to front portion of the CPU cabinet – right next to the wireless keyboard/ mouse dongle. It. Works. With. No. Issues.So, no need to chase a branded product such as this or D-Link (twice as expensive) when a unbranded version works perfectly.TLDR: Lot of connectivity issues, which could be due to interference. Replaced with cheaper unbranded alternative

It provides 2ghtz Internet connection very well, it also captures other wifi signals, if you are looking for 5ghtz then it will not support.

I use mint which is a fork of Ubuntu. Without any warning I bought this device as some users sighted no problems. Actually, the device has no issues but the drivers do on your OS. Google for yourself and get the updates for Ubuntu or Mint. Otherwise the speed would not go more than 7 or 8 mbps.

Value for money if you are purchasing this for Rs. 400-509. For the price showing above swipe for a better product. Installation is easier, a CD is inside, or can be downloaded. Become a little hot after long 12 hours of use, it’s okay.

it works very well in receiving wifi and specially creating hotspot/thetering. i bought for creating hotspot from Desktop LAN Ethernet, it is good and speed of hotspot is super fast in 10 meter range.

This is a really nice product, there are many same products with low price. Don’t buy those, most of them are low in quality and weak speed.

An Excellent product from TP-link, which it’s quite easy in windows 10 just plug and play as of, within seconds it had connected to the mobile (Wi-Fi thethering) and done it’s work, simply superb.

Worked with it for 5- 6 months now and it has stopped receiving the signals al of a sudden . Downloaded the drive online but still the device does not work. Though very sleek it may be difficult to pull it out once inside the port.Over all a quick fix solution but not a lasting product.

I have installed it just now, the delivery was super fast. The way I plugged it on computer, the antenna was horizontal and not upright as I was hoping. I have a Windows 7 PC, it did not install drivers by itself. There is a bundled CD which installed the drivers, along with an optional wifi configuration software which is useful. I have a jiofi nearby, it worked. Then suddenly it unplugged on its own. Went and plugged it in again and this time it worked. I will have to check it again tomorrow to check the range and consistency. So far I am okay with performance though I think it might be too soon to say anything.

Its connecting easily with new devices. But if you have got wifi at your home then over the time it will dont catch signals from your wifi. Now after 20 days I can easily connect it my mobile hotspot, and its showing the wifi signals of our neighbors too but not ours! Why?
Ajai –
This product truly turned out to be a “plug it” & “forget it” type. Purchased this way back in 2018 for 499/- & as of Dec 2022, the adapter is still working good.Never faced any issue except net disconnection on some strange days especially within the first few mins after PC start; then connectivity gets stabilized.. Never could figure out if it’s due to MS-Windows (10) issue or some driver/software.

Installation was very simple and worked immediately on a dell i3 6th gen pc running Win 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. Sometimes it takes time to connect or fails of restart / switching between partitions requiring a restart or removal and reinsertion of the dongle

The NANO one TL-WN725N has a weaker receiver antenna. If your room has a quite weak signal, go for the 300 Mbps one (TL-WN823N) or the high gain version. The NANO one is useful only if the signal is strong.
Suresh Undley –
You have to install the v5 driver installer online of you don’t have cd reader.I get 75 Mbps download and 90 Mbps upload which is good and this is really easy to use…

Bought this item for 700Rs on offer time, for that price this is an absolute VFM product..it have an long range which helped me a lot. please note the point that the product I got is V2 not V1, So it is harder to use this one for WiFi penetration in Kali Linux.

Roshan Mahabharathi –
Excellent product with courteous response by customer service on their toll free number.I have reduced one star because its range is less, don’t expect it to receive as much signal as a laptop would.Updating the drivers:Firstly it’s drivers are outdated, it can be fixed. After you install the drivers from the CD provided, go to Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Right Click on TP Link’s Adapter and click update driver. Of course for this you’ve got to have a working internet connection.In case if you have problem with speed of the internet connection (Do this if your speed doesn’t seem to go upwards of 0.5 mbps) :Go to the router / modem settings by accessing its corresponding IP address, usually starts with 192.168._____. Enter default username & password (Usually admin – password or search Google or call your ISP to find out). Then in the configuration page search for the section which has the Bandwidth settings, try swapping it to 20 / 40 MHz and try changing channels, I use 6. You can try others until TP Link starts receiving the maximum speed of your router.Note: Unless you change these settings your speed will constantly be low. See image for details.Pros:1. Great value & quality for money.2. Reliable company with a customer care number.Cons:1. Range is less.2. Setting up required in some cases.Respond if you find the review helpful. =)

Working perfectly. My old laptop hasn’t have any wifi only LAN connection available. So i purchased this product now I am able to use wifi feature in my old laptop.Gets more heat so that’s only downside i feel. Range is little bit short and speed depends on ur laptop network card specs so do purchase accordingly
LABHESH M. –
Everything is good. Just Plug and Play (Tested for Windows 10) Only one things is missing is that it only supports 2.4 Ghz Bandwidth and Not 5 Ghz Bandwidth.No speed issues.No connectivity drop. TP link is my favourite brand for Networking equipments

No problems faced at all. Installation on Windows 10 was smooth.

I will keep the review short and try to clarify common doubts.Tested on windows 10.(I assume 4 bars of wifi signal = full signal)1. ensure that there is at least 1 bar of wifi range in the room before installing it.2. it increases your wifi gain by 1 bar signal. which means earlier I had 2 bars signal in room and after installing it I get 3 bars signal strength. (sometimes it shows full signal)3. no interruptions and seamless connectivity.4. two antenna are independent of each other. can adjust as you want.5. It can also connect to mobile hotspot, airtel or jio wifi hotspots and broadband wifi6. Good for work from home or study from home.7. no need to point device in certain direction as the signal is considerably constant in the room, unless your broadcasting wifi signal is too weak to reach.8. it also has wps button for secure connection.9. default CD has drivers ready to install.10. Nice minimalist design and very light weight.overall good and reliable purchase for me with reasonable price tag.

*MASSIVE WARNING FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY THIS PRODUCT*i rated it 3 stars only because of the trouble i had to go through to get the correct drivers installedWith the wrong drivers (given in the CD-they’re older) i got only a 0.5mbps connection on a 50mbps network.I then used Windows’ update driver feature from device manager and still no luck with the udpated driver.After a lot of searching around i went to the tp link site and then on checking the label on the network adapter it said US/V6This had separate drivers on the site which was not installed by the provided CD or Windows.(EU drivers gave slow speeds as well)After installing these drivers, the device worked as intended.This was the case with my desktop computer, but when i tried to configure the adapter on my laptop (also Windows 10 x64) it worked with the drivers that Windows installed itself (plug and play basically).Although these drivers were different from the one on the site(there was no 2016 version on the site) , they still worked. On the laptop the windows update installed a 2016 driver (which i was not able to install on my PC for some reason)While the latest version from the site was a 2019 version.So make sure to check the region (US/EU) of the adapter you recieve and install appropriate drivers.This may not be the case for everyone as can be seen with other reviews, but if you encounter extremely slow speeds, try installing the correct drivers from the tplink site.Additionally, it does not connect through 5g channel. Only 2.4Ghz is detected.

The wifi adaptor is working fine and do it’s job but the main problem is it has only a very low range about 5 meters after that the bandwidth decreases… it would be better if the range was increased.Dont buy it if you need a larger radius from the router..
AbhayChandran B S –
First of all the product is so light and small that won’t notice it being connected.The only thing i had to do was just unbox and connect it to my pc. It suddenly started working and there was no issue with speed. There is a green led light visible which allows you to know that the device is connected and working.It is so easy to use.Some times you have to restart your pc because when you switch on your pc after some time it may show connected but there is no internet, then you have to restart your pc once and the connection will be re-established.It does not happen always. May be it could be a connection problem and not because of the product.Overall i’m happy with the product till now.

I have a 100mbps internet connection with both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi access points.- This adapter supports only 2.4Ghz WiFi access points.- It maxed out at 25-30mbps.My phone was able to get 50-60mbps on the 2.4Ghz access point and 94mbps on the 5Ghz access point.It’s a decent product if your internet speed is less than <40mbps or if you are looking for a cheap solution. This simply works.

A cheap solution to desktop wifi needs on Ubuntu machines.It works on a Ubuntu 20.04 desktop, and I guess would work on other Ubuntu derivatives like Linux Mint or Elementary OS if it’s based on 20.04.Plug and use: no additional steps needed.Signal is moderate to good inside a moderately-sized apartment. Streamed HD videos and did HD video calls over an hour without lagging. Sometimes, you need to unplug and plug it again for it to to work, though.Remember to update your system (—sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade— on a terminal) before plugging it in for the first time. A green led indicator blinks, if it’s working.

Previously I have purchased this item for my father in December 2015 and very pleased with its look and performance. It was exactly the same as in the picture.Now recently I have ordered this product again and this time it’s for my use. I have got it in a lightning deal for INR 499/- and when I received the product I was shocked. The product is not like the same product which I received 11 months ago. It looks like a very cheap product with poor quality.According to details the product was manufactured in the month of Sep 2016. With the previous product I received the installation DVD in mini DVD (80mm) size and now its in a standard DVD(120mm) size. Its a made in China product. Though it is working properly I wonder how the quality become so low within few months. May be is it due to the lightning deal?Window 7,8 and 10 doesn’t require any installation just plug in play. But need to install through DVD for all windows XP editions.This product is not supporting Linux Ubuntu. I have struggled a lot and applied many solutions to make it work with Ubuntu desktop.So overall the quality is not acceptable and TP Link should make note of it.

I have a tp link modem with D-Link range extender- still i was not able to get wifi in my laptop using inbuilt wifi adapter. I purchased this product and the result was dramatic! I am getting a full wifi- at least way better than what i used to get. The company is very thoughtful and has given a extension usb adaptor without which you will definitely use two USB adaptor space if you plug this in- it’s very big to sit into one single USB space. Just check if you are going to get the USB adaptor cable or at least you have multi-port usb adaptor at home.I use it in windows 10- it was just plug and play.

I’m a techie by profession and I know the specs and details of generally how the part should workToo much hassle to get it to detect wifi networks on win10 while it should function like a plug and playAnd it disconnected from the network wifi signal and reconnects itself which is totally a quality issue if you’re looking for a stable connectivity for work its not suitableI follow the recommendations as per industry standard like 4 ft away from router without any obstacles and its a i7 computer with 32gb ram latest wifi drivers updated win 10 2004 stable version and test on different computersIf you’re buying for light home use may be ok and it only connects to 2.4Ghz and no MIMO so you will get only 25% of your router and internet plan speed comboEx i have a giga router with 300 mbps plan but i got speed of 14mbps with just this and another phone connected to the router instead of minimum obtainable 60 mbps hands down by my laptop if connected to the network so plan accordinglyThe drivers comes in the cd package is little outdated so better to check on tplink website for recently updated one

I Purchased this product weeks ago and,This is TP-Link TL-WN722NWith Atheros AR9002U chipset.Pros:-Plug & Play (No Drivers required)-Works with all Linux and windows & MAC OSX-good enough range if you have realistic expectation-You can attach a high powered antena for getting more range (Thats Awesome)-it supports many modes including “MONITOR MODE”which basically means that you can do some pentesting as well,Which is actually the primary reason to buy this in first place-Light weight and Durable in most cases of Drops & pressures.-Worth the Price (rs.750)Cons:-Like i said, if you have realistic expectations, There are No consVerdict:Great Product For the PriceYou can hack any wifi password – WOW!Wifi Hacking Guide here:[…]And Hey,Don’t forget to check inside the box for a USB cable, its beneath the routed package.Have Fun.

The Product is Very Good.Well The Range Is Really good.But The Imp Thing To know isIt has monitoring mode and packet injection.but we have to enable it through some commands.Yes It also supports in linux.You Just have to install the driver of linux from its official website.I personally used it for peniteration testing as well as for Internet Access.It was good in both of it.So Don’t worry If someone says you that it is v2 and v1 only supports monitoring modeOr something like it doesn’t work with linux.These are just rumors.Thankyou.
A2Z Customer –
It’s a very good product for this price point. The only problem is that it’ll support only upto 10 channels. My D-Link router was pure configured to channel 13, but it was not detecting and I thought that it’s a defective product but later on searching the internet I came to know of this issue in the product. So do your research before you buy this product.
M Tanmoy –
Stable dongle with decent speed but range is on the shorter side.Windows 10 was quick to detect the dongle and install the drivers.Only issue with this dongle is when windows 10 goes to sleep and sometimes does not detect the adapter after “wake-up”! Disabling the adapter using “ncpa.cpl” run command and then re-enabling the adapter fixes the issue. Not sure if this is a window 10 or driver issue, but can get annoying.TP-Link could have reduced ewaste by not providing the driver on a DVD. Does anyone still own a DVD drive?

Its good Product with fair signal strength. If your router/hotspot is in same room or adjacent room than no need to worry about signal strength. But if it on floor above or below than it won’t be any useful to you.Easy to install as it comes with Installation CD or you can also download driver from TP link website.

Got the v2/v3 version. Packet injection and monitor mode doesn’t work directly in Kali Linux but does work after manually updating to GitHub’s version of it’s drivers through kali. However i didn’t read it first but it only detects 2.4ghz wifi bands. So don’t expect it to detect modern 5ghz connections as its an old gen device.

Just got this on the 13th of May, 2020. My desktop was too far away from my house Wi-Fi and both Wi-Fi card and dongle dropped the signal frequently. When they did connect, the speed was only about 20%. So I ordered this TP-Link TL-WN822N N300 Wireless High Gain USB Adapter (White) to solve this issue. All I can say now is: problem solved. In fact I’m writing this review on the very desktop to which the device has now been installed.Pros:1. Reasonable pricing (I bought this for 899 Rupees)2. Easy Installation on Windows 10: Plug and play3. Speed seems to be at about 80-90% as per my internet connection plan4. Long wire enables variety of placements for best signal strength location5. Compact and light. I was surprised it’s so light.6. Stable and consistent connection.7. Driver CD provided in case you are using older operating systemsCons:Nothing really negative comes to mind on first usage. So far so good.Conclusion:If you have similar low signal strength due to long distance from the Wi-Fi router, then this is certainly an option to consider. Cheaper alternatives are available but since I’ve used small donlges, they are not suitable if your desktop/laptop is not in the same room as your Wi-Fi router. I was looking at the more expensive alternatives as well, but decided to go for this one as it has two antennae and costs below 1000 Rupees.

Auto detect drivers in Windows 10.Need addition setup provided in CD for windows 7.I have office system windows 10 installed with No optical drive and prohibited USB storage. And was able to auto detect device in restricted mode to use wifi.But if you have win 7, then you need to install drivers manually.I got around 12 mbps download and 15 mbps upload speed on speed test by OOKLA. where as at same time on same website i got 54mbps download and 68 mbps on LAN connection.So, speed variations are quite high even if TP Links says it to have 300mbps.
Roshan Prasad –
The adapter looks like exactly how it is shown, but it keeps on dropping the WiFi signal every now and then..For the first few days, it worked fine like it got connected bit was having 10 mb download speed max. Then it stopped detecting the Wifi signal. However on plugging in and out it detects the mobile data and can connect through it..

This little guy does what it is expected to do, just plug and install the driver either from the provided cd or, from the tp link website.You’ll get 2.4 ghz wifi and Bluetooth 4.2, yeah that’s it !
Ramya –
It’ll do the job for workstation desktop but not recommended for gaming. Also the wifi range is less
Vishnu –
I don’t exactly know if it’s a problem with my laptop .. but the drivers had to be downloaded from the website even though I’m running Windows 10. The WiFi strength isn’t as good as expected either. My 4 year old laptop’s internal WiFi card had 2 ping while the tp-link adapter had 3-4 and at times it spikes to 30 in speed tests and usually performs worse than the internal WiFi card. So don’t go for it unless you definitely need to. I initially bought it after a software was capping my internal card’s speed but the software capped the adapter’s capped as well and after I resolved the issue, I compared the speeds and never really used this again. I would’ve returned it if there was an option but there isn’t.
Srinivasan V –
This does not support dual band – if you have a 5ghz connection, which usually is used for higher Bandwidth/speed, this product will NOT help you.Otherwise, the 2.4Ghz wifi works flawlessly with this adapter.The 5Ghz support should be mentioned in the product description.

I like it’s easy to use system. Just push the wps button of your existing router and then hold the wps button of this router, it synchronizes with that automatically. You just have to enter the password. If internet is not connected just open chrome/explorer/edge and run network diagnostic. It will automatically resolve the issues(which are mostly minor). Running for last 24 hour. Smooth running. Download speed is going up to 6.8 MBps (not Mbps)(on torrent)(my broadband is siti broadband, speed is 75mbps). Youtube videos are going smooth. I do not play games on my pc so can’t say anything about gaming streaming. I think it’s 2.4Ghz only and not 5Ghz(bit disappointing). Length of the cable provided is 1.5metres which is good enough. It has two external antennas only. I bought it for Rs. 899 (good spent on a product with 3 year warranty). Feel free to ask any question. Will update my review after one month

Yes there is a way to turn on the monitor mode.But the next problem you face is when you try some attacks in Kali,Sniffing data is not possible with this one.Most of the attacks are not possible with this adapter as per my observation.I kept it aside, never to use for testing.Invest in a better one

Abhirup BanerjeeAbhirup Banerjee –
In my room the WiFi signal received is very weak but still by connecting this device to my laptop full WiFi signal is shown in my laptop WiFi signal status icon. Speed is also excellent. The only problem is that I received a broken driver CD with this device but that didn’t matter as its driver was easily available on the TP-Link website. Due to this I have given 1 star less. Although drivers are not needed for Windows 10 devices using this product. It was very easy to install and to use it.
Brijesh Saini –
Nice product good connectivity and range
Nithyanandam –
*** Review after usage of 3 months.1. Initial days, the connectivity was brilliant. Had to update the drivers alone.2. But as time passed on, the device was not recognizing even known connections. Also, it didnt work great in providing the available choice of known connections.3. It came to a point, where in the device used to work well for 6-7 hours, and then there was instability and unreliability.To summarize, an average product that is expensive and serves the basic connectivity needs. However, stability and reliability are very unpredictable despite being very close to known networks with no hindrance.Would recommend to go for dual-band devices available in the same price range.

Ishani Ray –
Don’t be fooled by its size. Performance-wise, the 725N is almost (see below) as great as any of its full-sized counterparts. And look-wise, it’s even better. Sure, there are cheaper alternatives available in the market, but it is always prudent to go with a brand such as TP-Link when you have the choice. And the product itself is so good (efficient, elegant, unobtrusive), that you won’t mind paying the extra bucks.Update: Rating it down by one star since I’ve found that the actual LAN speed is much lower than what is advertised. Mine hovers between 45-75 Mbps, even though it’s supposed to be a 150 Mbps adapter. Personally, I’m not bothered because I’m on a 30 Mbps network, but those with bandwidths of >40 Mbps won’t get the most out of their connections with this mini-adapter. Better look elsewhere.

Easy to use and also connect very fast, provided you plug into a Usb 3.0 slot. The major drawback is that, it lacks the support for 5Ghz connections. As now a days most routers comes up with dual band support, so you have to connect it to the 2.4Ghz connection.
Prince ChandelPrince Chandel –
A decent product at Rs. 499 got on 30 Jun 2020. Wifi receiver range is pretty good can catch signal from 20 metres. Its 150mbps so you can’t expect a high speed internet for hd or full hd streaming. Its for surfing and watching max 480p videos. Works fine with Windows 8.1. Haven’t tried it on windows 10. It’s usb 2.0. You have to first install driver through disk provided in pack.Pros- Has Good Range for receiving signals.- Affordable and Branded.( Don’t buy cheap stuffs if you are looking for long run).- Isn’t visible. Dude, It’s so tiny and looks good.Cons- Might be having heating problem if you use for long hours. I hardly use it for 3 hrs continuously.But overall you can buy it if you want it for normal errands and want something branded and durable below Rs 500.

I wanted to move my desktop to another room due to space issues, but was unable to do that as it was wire dependent for the router. This WiFi adapter has really made it easier now to move my desktop anywhere.I just plugged it in into my ubuntu system and it worked like a charm, I’m super glad that the tech has evolved so much that we no longer need to install those wifi cards for these features.

Size and Design:The best part about this is that it is very compact in size and very sober and elegant in design. This is a big plus as it is easy plug in and use, add to it the good sober design.Build Quality:The build quality is undoubtedly superb. Just no qualms about that, at all. When held, it doesnt give off that cheap and flimsy product-like feeling. It is good sturdy with its build quality.Packaging:This part is also a big plus as the item was well cushioned and packaged with all the necessary items that ensured that no damage could have been caused to the product during transportation. This ensures that I as a customer have received something not damaged internally already.Software:This is actually good but not great part with the product.The good part is that a CD has been provided with it along with a manual.The not great part is that NO LINUX SUPPORT has been given from Version 2 onwards. This is bad, really.Speed:It easily supports net speeds upto 300 Mbps. Practically speaking, I have tested it at my home and it easily supports net speed of over 100-150 Mbps without a sigh.On testing I found that it did connect to 5GHz network, without any issue.Connectivity:Please mark its not feet its metres. Multiply metres x 3 to get the distance in feet.It easily connects to my laptop or phone from 7 metres across one room. So thats 21 feet. I mean even our old bluetooth used to connect to about 15 ft.So 20-25 feet is not at all an issue with this. This is the big plus I found with the product.Experience:From this point of view, so far except the linux non-compatibility issue, I found no other flaws with this product.So overall its a great product.

Guys amazing product yaar. These adaptors save your life all the time when dealing with wire and net issues.Things i would like to talk about which nobody is gonna tell you.This wont catch 5G wifi signals if there are too many things between the modem and adaptor area. Like i got netplus 5g and airtel 5g it does not connect to both but connect to the 4G speeds to them.If you are facing issue with the speed then update you pc bios drivers and windows drivers and its drivers from tp link website.Always plug it in the back side usb ports of desktop pc which are connected to motherboard directly. You can face some issues if connect it and use it with the extra usb ports on the pc cabinet like front side or extra usb connections.

VigneshVignesh –
See the pictures!!!, I’m not Complaining about the dongle, almost every dongle is like this,My Wi-Fi router sits right next to my PC dongle and my router is within One Meter range, This dongle is rate for 150 Mbps but Look at the results My network is over 250 Mbps on wire, But the dongle gives 50 Mbps. I bought this for b/g/n option only so I don’t care about this , My old 150 rupees dongle is n type only it can receive WI-FI but cant put hotspot that is the reason I purchase this dongle ,for connecting my mobile with my pc, this Dongle does that job well no issue,You may think My router 2.4 Ghz is weak ?? But trust me I did do speed test with my mobile(Samsung Note 9) , it shows 90Mbps,What im saying is Wired net is Lighting fast than Wifi.If you are purchasing this dongle for Connecting your PC or Laptop ,Don’t expect your Internets Full speed !!! I Don’t recommend any WIFI dongle. Use wire That will be the wise choice

Reduces the speed of the original connection by a lot l, like a 70% reduction.But it gives you an un interrupted connection unlike the usual wi fi extenders etc that drop connection every now and then.Its very easy to set up and have had 0 zero issues just keeping it plugged into a USB port 24/7.If the speed drop is not a concern, i would recommend it highly.The extenders will give you better speeds (maybe) but they are more unreliable in my eyes after testing both types of products.But if u have an older pc that does not have wi fi this works great, like a charm with easy set up and helping your wi fi ‘less’ PC connect to a wi fi network.

I was in need of a wifi adapter so I can access Internet on my pc as I was done using my wifi on pc through USB Tethering through my phone as a medium. So i found tp link to be the most trustworthy and genuine brand so I bought it. So after a couple of hours of using it, I will tell you my honest review of it.Earlier while using Internet through USB Tethering I was getting download speed of around 21mbps on my pc, but using tp link wifi adapter I’m getting only 210-230 kbps of speed.Believe me it sucks. So please consider this before purchasing it. And I’m not manipulating the figures. This is my honest review about this Chinese Made Product.

Juat that the customer care team of TP – Link caused some BP shoot ups, during the configuration process… but no compaints with the product. Delivers what it committed.

I have been using this dongle for more than several years now and have always faced an issue wherein the dongle would automatically disconnect from wifi network and won’t connect back. I had to remove and reconnect the dongle to fix the issue. I at times blamed my usb port or the ambient temperature which might be overheating the dongle though on touch I never felt it getting any hotter than usual.What fixed it for me – For win10 – Go to Control panel -> hardware and sound -> device and printer -> properties of tp link adapter -> hardware -> properties -> general -> change settings -> advanced options -> follow the change given in the attached image.Hope it works for you. Cheers!

If you are buying it to use on newer Linux kernels be prepared for some googling and efforts to find the right drivers. I suggest search for askubuntu with model number of the adapter and find in the right drivers for it. The website only contains drivers for older versions.The windows setup is smooth and works just fine. The wifi reception is just fine and works. Also this is just an initial review after one day use. Will update it later.

First of all just wanna ckear that this one supports Monitor mode, Package Injection and everything else needed for wireless pentesting, also the steps to enable all these are quite simple.Wifi Signal Range is quite Good as for the price, you have to compromise on the build quality a bit.Easy to use no need to install drivers for Normal use but have to complete some steps to make it work for wifi hacking.You can simply search on YouTube on how to enable monitor mode in this adapter and everything would work fine

I was having a hard time trying to get a long cable to connect from the router to my computer for WFH. Saw this online and thought will try using this. Best decision I made. Super easy to install and have been using this without any issues for a long time.You can blindly go for this Dongle to connect if you have a Broadband connection with WiFi
Akhil –
If you’re buying this for penetration testing and packet injection, its a GREAT product. Its got AMAZING range!But the problem is if you’re using on Windows or Ubuntu, the led indicator keeps blinking inconsistently which was a deal breaker for me cause there’s no way to disable it .If you dont think LED would be a problem for you, go for it!

We have two old laptops, both have windows 7. It works great with both of them. Plus it’s very easy to use, just plug it into a USB port, and it connects to the wifi.One thing to note is that it only connects to 2.4GHz band and NOT the faster 5GHz band.

I was looking for a solution to use wifi and Bluetooth simultaneously in my laptop as earlier i was facing issue of latency in either of two when i am using both at the same time.After some research on internet I got to know that in laptop wifi and Bluetooth both operate at same bandwidth (or something like that) and use the same antenna for transmission that is the reason why the latency or lag can be felt.So in order to separate those two, this Tp link nano wifi adaptor helped me as i can now use laptop’s internal Bluetooth with this external wifi.Also the device is plug and play, no need to install any driver..

I purchased the wifi adapter to bring my old PC online and it was super easy with provided driver cd even without internet. This item however does not have great range since I get only 3 bars of signal with chocked bandwidth only one room away from my wifi router. This item still works well and connects every time and connects faster if another device connected to my wifi like my phone is placed nearby. The cd provided and installation guide both say it’s compatible with windows vista but its not.

Tiny and super convenient to use and carry. It’s a little smaller than a regular Sandisk pen drive. Had no trouble with the installation on my Windows Desktop PC. It works on my phone hotspot from over 10 metres away. Have to be closer for it to detect at first after which there’s no problem if I move around. There’s no lag in the internet speed. It’s an excellent replacement for emergencies when the internet is down and one needs immediate internet access. At Rs. 500/-, it’s definitely worth it.

god101 –
Great product. I am using it as my own laptops wifi card is useless and sometimes it never catches signals that other devices use to catch. But with this adapter I am catching the wifi signal and reasonable distances with good speed. I am happy with it. Only problem is I have 3 usbs in my laptop and this takes up the space of one. Also when I connect my external hard drive to the port next to it on my laptop my hard drive stops working. I have to connect it to the usb on the other side of my laptop. Hence I feel it causes some interference with other electronics which I am not sure why. But I am happy with how it works for my wifi.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it cannot be fit directly to the USB port on a PC back panel. An USB extension cable is provided, but unlike the mini/micro receivers, this one needs quite a lot of space. The performance is good and the device does not need a lot of power. So it can be powered using a simple USB extension cable too (there are different cables for just data v/s data + power). I have not tested the range of this device, but it seems to be sufficient. I have also not used the utilities provided with the device as I just wanted to use the device as wifi receiver. In the package, you would get the device which is very neatly packed, some documentation, usb extension cable and driver cd. Win 7 did not install drivers for the device, but it was easily done using CD.
Abhishek Saxena –
I have to reinsert the adapter every time I boot the pc which makes the experience/usage very difficult on day-to-day basis.Most of the laptop/pcs doesn’t have cd drive and getting the driver for the adapter isn’t straight forward.

Note for Future buyers- TP-Link TL-WN725N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter is the model i purchased.- This does not support 5GHz bandwidth, which is not mentioned by the seller in the product description. Had I known this, I would have chosen a different model that does. This is a downsize / lack of transparency.- Although it comes with the driver software in a CD, it mostly is a plug and play (auto-installs the necessary drivers within a few seconds).- Very small, almost unnoticeable, has an led blinker to denote data exchange.- My laptop has a network card, but its wireless suddenly stopped working. I was using a Ethernet cable for internet. Once I plugged this device, I was able to connect to the wifi (although not being able to connect to 5GHz is the downside).

Roshan Mahabharathi –
Update after 1 week of usage:Works top notch, has really good range, it picks up signal better than a phone or a laptop. Reliable tech with constant connection. Faced no problems yet.This adapter does support Monitor mode and Packet injection, although they seem to be of no use, I’ve tried using Kali Linux to hack neighborhood WiFi networks, but there is no reliable method to do so. There are two main methods for hacking, one is Brute force, where you try all possible combinations (which could take days or weeks depending on the strength of the password) to try and hack the password, or the other fake Access Point method, which like the name suggests is terrible method to try and fool the client by creating a new WiFi Network with the same name and hoping he/she will enter the password to capture and use it.TL;DR: If you are planning to buy this for hacking WiFi networks don’t do it, not worth it. Don’t waste your time. There is no easy way to hack WiFi.And yes, this device uses Atheros AR9271 Wireless adapter.Note: The drivers provided are not up to date. Connect your PC / Laptop to the internet while having the device plugged in and go to device manager, right click to update. The name of the updated driver should be, Atheros AR9271 Wireless Network Adapter or in Kali Linux, Atheros USB2.0 WLAN.If you find the post helpful, please click yes.

When the in-built wi-fi component broke on my 12+ yr old macbook pro, this came as a boon…Naturally, the device won’t come up without necessary drivers installed on the laptop.The only downside I faced is that, I had to download the driver on a different laptop that could connect to the internet, and then transfer that file to the faulty laptop via a memory stick where I had to use this product.If the manufacturer can think of loading a bunch of drivers (not sure how practical this is) onto this device, it would be true plug-n-play. Barring this minor inconvenience, connects to wifi like a charm and a cheaper alternate to updating wifi component on the laptop and the time saved running around repair shops!

The package shows V3 version but inside it’s still V2 with realtek8188EU chipset. Just a rebranded version. And yes it does work with linux, I am using it with raspberry Pi 4b. I think U can use it for monitor mode, packet inject……and all that stuff. It’s not a plug and play for linux distro, u need to manually install the drivers Which can be hefty process if u r not aware of linux commands. For windows and Mac the drivers are available on official website and in the CD.

It keeps getting disconnected, all the time. Not stable connection. Warms up quick.Don’t buy if you have dual frequently router, coz this does not support 5ghz frequency for faster speeds.

You cannot get any other device better than this. This is One of the best in the market. Purchased twice (for different devices) and working perfectly for over three years now. You can simply buy without any doubts. I also bought their Bluetooth adaptor and have similar feedback for the same.

To use it with Macbook, it is asking to download drivers from tp-link.com. This device is needed when you have problem with Wifi on your computer. From where should we download the drivers without having wifi+internet is the question.It should be plug and play otherwise this device is useless for Macbook pro or any other laptop.Now a days laptop do not having DVD/CD drives, so the given software on DVD is not useful.May be for desktop it work.

Plug and Play features, super easy to connect, automatic install, Automatic Connect with the WiFi source if already done for first time. Portable Device, Pocket Friendly. Excellent Speed. I use with my mobile to desktop for internet, transferring data connection to desktop computer through Mobile Hotspot.the only drawback is the coverage area, it’s signal receiving strength is very limited, getting poor signals from adjacent another room.

Buyer’s Remorse –
Bought this back in 2018 expecting better driver support from TP-Link compared to Netgear. I was wrong.=====-PROS=====- It works. You can just plug it in and Windows 10 will install a driver for it, you won’t even have to install the one from their site. Isn’t that amazing folks?=====-CONS=====- NO, no it isn’t amazing. First of all, everyone (who knows how to use a PC) knows that Windows 10 installs obsolete or broken drivers for any hardware. So for this TP-Link, it installs some ancient driver that doesn’t have the “Wireless Adapter Properties > Advanced > Wi-Fi Config > Performance/WiFi” section. Which means, the adapter runs at low signal quality no matter how far your Router is. So the only way to get maximum signal is to install official drivers from TP-Link site. Which brings me to..- BROKEN DRIVERS on Windows 10. Seriously, they were last updated in 2018 and Windows 10 keeps breaking them especially on every Windows update (like W10 does for some old hardware). You’d think that a company like TP-Link would fix this issue, but then you’d be wrong.So basically, now I have to repair the drivers every few restarts or whenever Microsoft decides to break them again. This is fun… like “face-planting on a gravel road” fun.

This is by far the best wireless adapter for the price. Though,I have initiated a return as it didnt serve my needs. It works with kali linux, just works. But you cannot use it for monitor mode and packet injection as it is not V1. I looked at the serial number and it was V3. You cannot even change the MAC Address on this one.The V1 has the chipset Atheros but this one has Realtek I think. There is a major difference. The V1 is not available in Delhi right now as its just outdated. but the adapter works fine.Cheers and Merry Christmas.

The NANO one TL-WN725N has a weaker receiver antenna. If your room has a quite weak signal, go for the 300 Mbps one (TL-WN823N) or the high gain version. The NANO one is useful only if the signal is strong.

Easy to install and use. Just plug it in and you’re good to go. I’ve been using it daily with my desktop PC, for about a couple of weeks now, and it’s a nifty little accessory.One thing to mention – it doesn’t support 5GHz band, so even if you have dual band router installed, you’ll not be able to fully utilise it.If this not the concern for you, you’re good to go with this one.Cheers!
AnuragAnurag –
The label claims speeds “upto 150Mbps”, but wireless adapter properties in Windows 10 shows link speed to be 65/65 Mbps (Receive/Transmit).Don’t fall for this. Go for a 5GHz adapter. My internet speed is upwards of 350Mbps (checked via fast.com on phone) but I only get under 42Mbps with this adapter.

Simply plug into any USB-A port and it will start working. Tried and tested with Windows. Drivers are available for all platforms but in my experience no drivers are needed to be installed manually if running on Windows.

Devendra –
I bought it as I wanted to have my internet in my neighbor’s place and as the name suggests, it is really high gain adapter, the laptop in my neighbor’s place just cannot see my access point but if I connect this adapter to laptop, I get full network.In windows, its just plug-n-play, the drivers are built-in to windows 10, so I just connected to the laptop and it started working.Although installing it in Mac is tricky, it was mentioned as H/W version 6 on the back of the adapter and drivers are available for H/W version 5 on TP-LInk’s website, so I was a bit sceptical about compatibility of the driver with the hardware, but it worked properly. It took some efforts to install the drivers on Mac due to inherent security of OS, but once installed, it worked like a charm.

Doesn’t catch Wi-Fi signals properly not worth buying
Prabhakar –
1) PC and the router is around 5 meters distance facing opposite direction at my place, so the range here is excellent. It receives full signal.2) Super easy to install(just plug the modem in PC USB) and install the CD provided with it and its done.3) Instantly connects when the system is completely started(No need to connect it manually).4) Internet speed is very good as expected.5) You need an extra USB slot only for this modem.

Best WiFi USB adapter for desktop/laptop. Just plug the device to USB port of your PC and install the drivers from the CD provided. The adapter will start searching nearby WiFi signals automatically when it finishes installing necessary drivers. I am using this adapter in my desktop and connected to the rear USB port of the motherboard for high stability. There is no signal drop issues till now and upload speed and download speed is very good. There is a green color LED light which shows the status of the adapter. Due to nano design, the internal antenna is very small to catch weak WiFi signals. I don’t prefer this if you are planning to buy this WiFi adapter if there is larger distance between your WiFi router and WiFi adapter.It will not be able to detect the WiFi network or there might be frequent disconnection issues.For smaller distance this WiFi adapter will work fine.

Been looking for a wifi receiver since my desktop’s ethernet port stopped working. Did some research and decided to go with this model. Initially was skeptical about the product, but now that its been more than 6 months I can say that it was a good decision. The receiver gets the job done neatly. Initially there were some issues like not detecting the hardware and connection loss after recovering from pc sleep mode with the windows 8.1 OS, but its working like a charm since I upgraded to Windows 10. Good thing is that Win10 natively supports the hardware and doesn’t even need the driver installation. Thumbs up from me all the way for TL WN 725N.Pros1. No issues as yet with windows 10.2. Green LED status showing data transfer.3. Doesn’t eat up much space, I’ve connected it with my desktop’s front USB slot.4. Can create a WiFi hotspot with software that comes with the driver CD.5. 3 year warranty.Cons.1. Bit expensive compared to similar products in the market, but no complaints there as its worth the extra 100 bucks or so.2. Need to be careful while removing from USB hub, the top cap seems to be delicate.Overall, I’d say it worth the money you’re spending. Plug this thing in, and it gets the job done. Peace of mind.Attaching some pics that I didn’t find in other reviews. The green LED was a surprise for me.

This item will simply receive the signal and amplify it with better Gain, and this need to be connected with a computer. It can not be plugged in to an electric socket . I had this same mistake due to the lower price.If you are looking exactly for this item this one is so better, as it is really good to increase strength.

The product works with almost any brand router you can name. It has good connectivity with 4G network and good range as it is an 801.11n. My router is placed about 20 feet in the next room and I’ve had this adapter hooked up to my PC. With this setup, I’m getting 3 bars out of 4 and getting speeds upto 72.6 Mbps from my 75 Mbps connection speed.It’s as small as any other nano USB and has a green light indicating a live connection. The product is as advertised and comes in a box with a CD drive for drivers meaning the box is as large as the CD itself. The interactive tools in the driver are a bit cheap in appearance but provide decent connectivity options and are simple to use especially if the operating software or hardware doesn’t have any connectivity options. But if your O/S already has connectivity hardware and software, then it’s just a matter of plug in and connect.The built quality is acceptable and being a device small enough to simply disappear when you connect, it doesn’t bother you much either although it works best with the motherboard USB ports. All in all, it is a very good product with good pricing.

I got my BroadBand for which I needed a wireless wifi usb receiver. After a lot of survey I decided to buy TP-LINK 150 Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter. Just within two days the product was delivered via ekart. The packing was nice and rigid. When I opened the packing I found my TP-LINK 150 Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter in a sealed pack.After installing the software and plugging in the adapter it was an airy breeze flowing all over.. the connectivity is awsome. Network signal is even better than some of the other products of the same price range.my neighbor uses a netgear product. we tried to compare with my signal strength with it and to my surprise i found my nano was delivering even higher network signal strength than the NetGear product without any drop.As electronic product may give different feeling to different to different people, I convey my opinion for this one as WORTH BUYING……….

My father’s laptop’s internal wifi adaptor had stopped working and the service centre was asking rs.1500 for repairing it. I opted to buy an external wifi adaptor and do not regret it.

TP-Link is a brand in network providing cost effective network solutions, especially for basic home users. That’s the reason I ordered this wifi adapter and I am very glad for my choice. Here is my review about TP-Link Wireless adapter:Pros:- Signal Strength: I am using this device for my desktop and for better result I connected it in the USB port on back side of computer and I am getting a great network signal.- Fitting: The device is huge as compare to other device but it fit perfectly in USB. No loose contact at all-Installation: Simple driver CD. No unnecessary software :)Cons:The only issue is the size. It’s almost 4 inch long. But due to the performance I neglect that size.If you have space for your desktop than go for this adapter.

Well I have been using my computer for ten years and during this time I used several wifi adapter. The last one Terabyte wifi adapter which was quite good.The problem of a wifi adapter is signal. They start to lose signals after 2 or 3 years of use. This TP Link wifi adapter is looks good to me.The signal is strong and the installation process was so easy.The most impressive part is that the size of this adapter.So small and portable.I like this and recommend you to buy this if you need any wifi adapter.

Item worked perfectly for a week and now keeps on dropping the connection constantly. I have to keep disconnecting and connecting it again and again as the connection lasts 5 to 10 mins only. The router is just 5 feet away from the PC. Would have been more feasible to connect the PC to router via ethernet cableEdit 15/01/2021 : Installed new drivers from the TP Link website and this now works great. For all those people who are facing problem with constant disconnection I would suggest you uninstall the drivers that came with the adapter and install them from the website and it will work like a charm.

Review for TP LINK N821N.Please please check the model no. Before seeing the review.Excellent single 2.4 GHZ band wifi.With good enough signal capturing (tested with or without interference).Felt little temperature rise(I guess that’s optimum chipset operating temperature).WPS push entry.A decent quality (male to female) USB cable of length about 1.3m ( I guess “didn’t measure”).Reviewing after 4 days of purchase.You can even go to the website and get the newest driver downloaded.Instantly connects the previously paired wifi connection.Green light indicator.

The wifi dongle is a simple plug & play device, will start catching available networks right after you plug it into your USB port, no additional installations/ softwares requires. Signal strength is good…. just wonder what would be different in other adapters of lesser known brands which are available at a much more competitive pricing, hence a star less.

I was looking into a way to connect my desktop computer to the Wi-Fi across the house without getting crazy expensive. I did some research and found this thing and checked it out. It looked like exactly what I needed so I figured hey I’ll try it and if it doesn’t work I’ll return it or something!I bought this about a month ago. It has been working great. It is smaller than it looks on the photo. Well I got it and read the instructions and guess what! It is PERFECT! SO simple and uncomplicated (unlike most computer things) and it works great! It really is plug in and forget! Although depending on your computer, this adapter is quite good. I’m getting great signal and fast internet. It also has an easy-to-use configuration tool.You may have to reconnect the internet if you’ve unplugged your desktop or something. But other than that, I’ve had no issues.That wasn’t an issue, just letting y’all know what to expect. This is a great product for such a low price! Very pleased with my purchase!

TP-link seems to be scavenging itself. It’s own brand Mercusys offers a similar USB Wi-Fi dongle at 25% less cost. That said, this dongle sort of sets the gold standard.It is built well, and does not look like the black-cap will separate from the metal body anytime soon. Unlike the Mercusys dongle, this device has a LED hidden in the cap that glows green when active. This is useful to detect network activity.Also using Realtek chipset (like the Mercusys), the dongle works without requiring driver installation in modern OS like Windows 10 / Linux Kernel 5.6. This device does not come with a CD that contains drivers (the Mercusys device does), but Tp-Links website is easy to navigate and download the required drivers.Performance wise, this device is near identical to the Mercusys device, it excels in build quality though.Let me know if this was helpful

I just posted the photo I found necessary, else the box is same for everyone. Yes it’s a Version 2 or 3, and not 1. But by following some videos on YT you can do all the stuff in Linux that you want./* EDITI was working with the device and the Monitor mode is working, I didn’t changed anything, it’s enable. Package Injection is working fine, saves some time*/The signal strength are better than my laptops wifi as I can see many more networks.CD for driver is given which can be quite handful for CPU’s.Another good thing is the antenna. It can easily be replaced by a more powerful one, and I love the versatility.An extra usb cable extender is provided, which is way to good to add. Who sends so much of that, it on its own would cost 300₹.This is the perfect option you can get, if your budget is tight.It feels good when things came in perfect condition and serves the purpose.

I purchased this dongle keeping in mind two things:1. The dongle should be compatible with my car’s digipad 1.02. The dongle can also be used in my desktop computer.I can happily tell you that it served both the purposes quite beautifully.The dongle is USB 2.0 compliant. It is not so fast as I observed a Max Speed of 27 MBPS. Though, I was sceptical to go for a higher version, due to any compatibility issues that may arise with the digipad.It really works like a charm.It gets slightly warm while using, but I didn’t face any problem due to that.It has a green blinking light, which shows the device is working.I didn’t face any issues as of now, so I cannot comment on the support and warranty part. I have observed one thing, that is on the dongle it is written as TPLINK, but the computer detected it as a Realtek device.

Got this thing on a sale. Never bought a TP link before. But still went for this one. And I am surprised with the performance. It comes with a CD (still don’t know why in this age?), which you will never use. Using this for a year. I plugged it on my backside of PC and set up windows. To my surprise it got detected and connected to my WIFI even during windows installation. So no need for extra drivers. Just ‘plug n play’.There has been no drops just occasional once or twice in a week (bearable). Although I must say the range is a bit low, around 10ft (direct) and 5ft (through wall).I am using jio4G mobile hotspot with this and I get speed of around 20Mbps with this. No problem in connectivity. Go for it.

Good wifi adapter with cd which has easy to install driver and software. Download speed is good, not very fast.
Joseph Thambi Kiran Kumar Vokkanti –
Easy to install and easy to use but the problem is it is not effective in receiving/capturing the Wi-Fi signal/speed. The signal strength is very low it can only capture 25% of your signal/speed even without any hindrance/obstructions like walls or doors in between. It can only pull the signal from 10 to 15 feet distance beyond that strength and speed of the internet falls drastically. It’s somewhat okay better not to have high expectations but it serves the purpose if your router/modem is within the range of up to 15 feet

This is a nice product. Its price makes it all the more attractive. @460 one can get a quality product with 3years warranty…nothing more to expect. I recommend this product *if you are NOT planning to cover a big area*.The best part is that, with the SoftAP mode the adapter turns to an adapter cum Wi-Fi hotspot that allows your PC’s internet connection to be shared across devices(upto 5, comfortably upto 2-3 with a good-speed internet connection).Well illustrative installation guide provided. Nice packaging.It has an issue : When this device is acting as a sole WiFi adapter or a sole WiFi hotspot there isn’t a problem. But if you’re using this as an adapter to a PC to connect to a wireless network and simultaneously trying to share the same wireless frequency using SoftAP via the device the issue comes up – other the connected device fails to obtain an IP.Walk-around: 1. Use only SoftAP mode to share your PC’s internet connection that is achieved either by LAN or a separate WiFi adapter(mostly happens in case of a laptop).2. Let initially the LAN connection be shared. Let the devices obtain the IPs first, from the SoftAP mode and then reconfigure the shared connection to be the WiFi.Pros:1. Looks really cute & small.2. Light weight.3. LED Indicator.4. Great Finishing.5. Relatively cheaper than the product available in the market.6. Versatile (SoftAP).7. Drivers and utility softwares are provided in a disc in the package and easy to install.Cons:1. Range is not that good max upto 2 rooms.2. The Issue.

Before I am purchasing same brand t link small dongle it’s work fine but speed test result only 50 to 60mbps , but this product 96 to 99 Mbps it’s incredible increase speed 2x time

This is very nice product but sometimes it struggles to search the wifi you want to connect to.

I ordered this adaptor in anticipation of high speed for my 100 Mbps connection. I was getting the speed of around 40 mbps with my default system adaptor of dell inspiron when in proximity of the router. But after installing the TP link adaptor the speed is lesser when away from the router. Near to the router it gives speed of around 55 mbps. The system adaptor gives 30 mbps speed in a particular room but TP link gives lesser ( around 18 mbps) at the same location. Its performance is only a bit better when it is very near to the router, otherwise not.

I use this to connect an old PC to internet. I tried lubuntu 20 and ubuntu 22, it worked out of the box in both, didn’t have to do any setup. There’s an extender cable so you can place this in a comfortable place. Get the model with antenna because otherwise you’ll have range problems if you’re not directly in line of sight from your wifi router.

Finally connected with my WRV’s Digipad…. Good WiFi connection….The same work is done by Honda WiFi Dongal which is much costly than this…I would recommend you to go for this product…. Speed is also very Good…. You don’t have to do anything thing just open the package and put it in the USB port below the Digipad and it is so small that it hides…. which I think it is a good thing about this product….Any Honda Car Owners…. Must Go for this…..

I am using this since last month and I am here to share my experience. It’s 2021, but however motherboards don’t come with built-in WiFi chipsets, but since that’s not a big deal, the importance of TP-Link quality is the way to go, and that’s what I’ve made. It works like magic, it was just plug and play on my pc with Windows 10. Very fast, works fine on my pc with portable hotspot, and works well under the range of 7-8 meters with an internet speed of 10Mbps. If you don’t have WiFi on your computer then don’t worry and go ahead and solve the problems. when I transfer files between my computer and laptops it stops at 2.5Mbps within two meters but when I took them close to each other 1 meter then increased up to 5.5Mbps

I have three wifi routers at home. The first one is Netgear WNR614 N300 Wi-Fi Router that connects to BSNL network. The second one is D-Link DIR-816 Wireless AC750 Dual Band Router that connects to cable BB (YOU telecom). The third one is Reliance 4G wifi dongle. This adapter is abe to connect to Netgear and Reliance. But connection to D-Link dual band router is an issue and works intermittently. I tried to create two separate wifi SSID on D-Link but this adapter still had issues. There is no issue with D-Link because all smartphones and laptops connected to D-Link successfully. Hence I concluded that this dongle has a problem; so docking off one star. Otherwise it is a good product. But then this is only one-day old purchase. Will post edits if problems arise

Then I came to this product and given a chance. Without surprise this did the job out of the box in Windows 10 laptop. I didn’t even install the driver (CD came along with it). What I did:1. Plugged it in my laptop’s usb port2. Open the wifi adapter settings3. Select connect on this adapter4. Entered my wifi credentialsAnd that’s it. So easy.!!!I cannot give it more than 5* so given 5*.And also one more thing it comes with 3yr warranty

My old laptop was given a new life thanks to TP-Link TL-WN725N.No overheating.No Driver installation is required.Tested on Windows 10 and 11.Surprisingly good signal where my original laptop’s wifi chip struggled.You will get 100+ Mbps speed almost everywhere (line of sight)25 to 50Mbps everywhere. (up to 55 dBm)I think this is the best USB WiFi Adapter in this price range. Highly recommended!

The built is good. But could not get it to work. Even after the driver installation, the device could not connect to the network. The network is shown but does not connect. My router is also TP-Link. I thought it would not be so difficult. Not for regular users.Edit: Reinstalled the system. Windows supports the device natively. Have problems with Manjaro Linux. Changing my score to 4 star.

Purchased the USB Wi-Fi receiver for Rs 750. It’s a 300N receiver and with my router set to N mode only, the wi-fi reception is great. It’s way better then the china made, indian branded once. Although TP-Link is china based, but due to the brand name, quality in manufacturing is ensured and that adds to good user experience.Inside the box you get the Wi-Fi receiver, a regular USB-USB male-female cable, use manual, quick start guide & resource CD.The top surface of receiver is glossy and the edges are rounded, so it’s comfortable to hold in the hand. The built quality is robust and there is no rattling while inserting it into the usb port. There is also a physical WPS button in the side of the device.I plugged it in to win 7/8/8.1 & it’s a auto plug & play. However if you try it on laptops, you will see network names as Wi-Fi 1 & Wi-Fi 2. So to solve this remove the device from your laptop and then access internet using the inbuilt wi-fi card of the laptop. Then go to Network & Sharing settings and click on change adapter settings. There look for the wi-fi icon, right click on it and click disable. Now plug in the wi-fi receiver and connect to network. Go to the above path and you will see a new wi-fi icon on the adapter settings. Right click on it and rename it to be USB-Wi-Fi.In this way you can easily determine which network you are connected and can easily toggle between networks.

A Good product. Tiny size and portable. Fair speed too. Well, if many people are using internet from their phones to the same WiFi network, it’s speed reduces to almost fully. Better if not many people are using the WiFi from the same network when the time you’re using it in your PC or Laptop. Rest over all, it’s a good product.

Bought it for my dad as he used to get terrible reception from his previous smaller usb receiver device. It was really easy to install, connect and use! And after few weeks of using it, the WiFi on his desktop is also a lot better than before (from 1 or 2 bars to all 5 bars of signal!!).Would definitely recommend this product! Also because it was a longer usb cable, I could move the receiver much closer to my crappy modem and by adjusting the receiver antenna correctly (90 degree perpendicular), the signal strength received is also excellent!

It wasn’t a fastest delivery although I’m a prime member – took 7 days to reach.This isn’t all that big as I had expected and sits nicely next to my desktop. Just installed it and the range is OK (probably too early to tell). I actually connect this from my windows 10 desktop to a wireless range extender and it shows 5 bars compared to the 2 bars that I used to get from the Airlink 101 N150 adapter.Windows 10 users:The product clearly says it is compatible only 8.1/8.7/XP and Mac. So my windows 10 didn’t even detect this device to begin with and I had to then download the driver from here (using my Airlink adapter! 🙂 ) :[…]Boom. Business as usual now. Will update more on the speed, after using it for some more time..Overall a nice device so far.

I bought this product in August 2020 and this had been absolute joy to use, all I did was Plug it in the USB Port and It’s Ready to Use, speeds have been wonderful- It’s catching 100 Mbps as per my current Internet Plan & it’s the best option for those who don’t want to hook themselves to a LAN Cable & use the desktop without Internet Wire. Twenty first century has made us habitual to go wireless, I really thank TP Link who had put this product forward to us. I give it 10/10 !!

Average product. Wifi speed is very slow.

I am using tp link router and bought this for my desktop (windows 11). Installation was easy but after days I realised the signals are very poor. For comparison I tested signals and internet speed with my smartphone and laptop and this device is giving me 15-20 Mbps while all other device showing 35-40 Mbps. And sometimes it just disappear from connected devices and I have to remove and plug it again. Not sure whether it is a compatibility issue or product is faulty.

Firstly I would like to make this clear that this adaptor supports monitor mode and packet injection when you install a custom driver in it.To install custom driver there is tons of videos on YT.Second , the signal is good but the speed of the wifi may not be upto the mark since my laptop inbuilt wifi gets less signal but has more speed .The main reason to I buy this product was to test monitor mode and packet injection which worked so it was a good choice for me.

Sometimes suddenly wifi signal is lost in Linux ubuntu for 2-3 seconds; then it regains full signals. Also, link speed is not 150Mbps; it’s 72Mbps in Linux Ubuntu.

The build quality of the product is good & it works with latest Linux Kernels too. But, it only supports 2.4GHZ.

Amazing product.

Nice product . Recived early . Easy to install and easy to use . But it’s not compatible with Kali Linux for monitor mode and packet injection . You can’t use it directly on Kali Linux as other compatible adaptor . But if you know Linux commond very well , then you can run few and make this adaptor compatible with Kali Linux ……Wifi signal is good . Feel is premium ….And cost saver too

I’m using Kali Linux on Virtual Box (kernel 5.4.0). Many of you have doubts about whether it will work in monitor mode or not.It works perfectly fine with some tweaks.I tested it in both Monitor Mode and Packet Injection, it works well.This device is version 3.The chip used inside is version 2 (Realtek rl8188)

An Excellent product from TP-link, which it’s quite easy in windows 10 just plug and play as of, within seconds it had connected to the mobile (Wi-Fi thethering) and done it’s work, simply superb.

Works well on virtual machine on Mac OS in Linux cent os 7 and also works for Mac but you have to install driver for it to work from Official tplink website then it works it has a app like thing which sits on top bar of Mac OS fortunately it works on virtual machine have cent os 7 but it shows wired connection in it (Linux) but it’s the same as WiFi and can work at a distance from WiFi without physically connecting via Ethernet for linuxUPDATE – it doesn’t work on latest version of mac os 11 n above please keep that in mind as drivers for that is not available on tp-links website will update if it updates that driver for mac os 11 and above

I have using it from last two months, and I am very happy with it. Before this my laptop having some network problems. It was not showed Wi-Fi symbol, so I was unable to connect with internet. But now the whole problem is solved. Thanks to TP Link.

This is a great product. I bought it for my ancient desktop which runs Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit. I wanted to connect to the internet wirelessly hence I considered buying one WiFi adaptor. At first, I wanted to buy some cheap WiFi adaptor but the negative reviews about them stopped me from buying. Then I came to know about this product. TP-Link is very well known brand in case of networking. That’s why I decided to buy this one although it is little bit more expensive. After using it for some time I realised that I made the right decision. You’ll get 3 years of warranty with this product. The driver CD is included with this pack hence no need to worry about finding drivers. This product is super easy to use. I would suggest everyone to buy this.
Pappu Ghosh –
You’ll get a fair speed but I recommand you to check out the 150 Mbps once it’ll satisfy you so no need to buy the 300 one

Amazing product. Converted my old PC to receive W!-F!. I’m giving only 4 star bcz its not ‘plug & play’..its ‘plug, install and play’ in case of Windows. I thought of really very nice packaging for a small device. But it also comes with an installation disc!It is seen 3 years warranty for this product, but not seen any warranty docs in package. Hope that the device will work fine!
HRUDARANJAN KARHRUDARANJAN KAR –
Awsm product, I have received in good packaging. The performace is also good. Value for money. The Wifi signal is superb. A must buy product.
Gobinda Chandra Pati –
I think it is the best, affordable, branded wireless adapter. It works perfectly. While buying I thought it won’t give me best performance at the price bracket…..but trust me it is bang for buck. 150mbps continuesly without any lag and slowing down even after running 15hours per day. It is quite a good performer and with the trust of TP-LINK. And also it comes with 3years warranty which is also better. And plug and play gives you more freedom in any computer running latest computers.Problems I faced-1. Due to nano size you have to keep it very carefully otherwise forget it. It will lost :)2. Plug an play in windows 7 sucks. I have to manually install driver package in windows 7.3. I also brought another after buying it but it costs me less in offline market. Thats it.

FIRST OFF ALL, FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONFUSED THAT IT WORKS OR NOT IN LINUX, I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IT DOES WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO FIRST CONFIGURE THE SETTINGS IF YOU ARE RUNNING A VIRTUAL MACHINE TO USE IT IN THAT. Otherwise it works without any issue normally in windows and linux both (if you running the OS normally and not in a VM)The range however bothers me, it is okayish not very great. My laptop has a built-in wifi card as well. It has a better range than this adapter. If you don’t have a wifi card built-in or if it’s screwed, then you can buy it.

I got v2 model…. Easy installation(no need to install drivers as I am Linux user).. Seen 2-4 YouTube videos and finally able to do packet injecting and monitor mode and signal range and speed is good.. Better than my laptop Wi-Fi card… (this is 1 day review)… Hope this info will be helpful..

Works perfectly with easy setup. Please note that your device should have a CD Drive to install the driver. Manufacturers should consider alternative way of providing driver since CD Drive is becoming obsolete now.

Very nice product 👍 good connectivity , wifi singnal is good ….. connect nano USB adaptorthen just install the driver in your pc and it’s ready to use…..Happy surfing…
kundan kumarkundan kumar –
It’s the simplest device to connect your desktop to a wifi signal. Just plug it and use the wifi password and forget. In most of the system you just need to plug it and it starts working. For the system where it does not start automatically you have to install the driver given in the package CD or from internet. Good product in this price range (Comes with 3 year warranty also)
Rothin Mandal –
Do not support monitor mode, packet injection!! Don’t buy if you are looking for pen testing, ethical hacking and R&D purpose! For general purpose use you may go ahead with this purchase!!
Prashant Kumar Srivastava –
Good one
Shubhadeep Buswas –
Just go for it…. Awesome design+awesome connectivity. Also it creates additional hotspot from the wifi network which is useful in case you don’t want to share your router password with others. In pc,you don’t need touch anything. Just turn your pc on and get it ready. In case of installation, it’s super easy. Just insert the disk it will automatically run and just you need to put the password and it’s all set.It also acts as range extender.It’s design is like a portable router, WPS button works well.Just one thing, it’s not that pendrive like devices, it connects via a cord… If you are okay with this undoubtedly go for it. Wire is sufficiently long.Wrote this review after 1.5 months of using.

This wifi dongle is a simple device which obviated the use of Ethernet cable that I had to lay out from my wifi device till my PC… Now my PC space is much more organized using this dongle…. Gives decent speed and is quite simple to use….

received the product yesterday. After months of suffering without proper internet, I finally found this and it does work superbly. The internet speed is good and is catching all wifi signals. The only problem I faced is that I had to download the drivers from the internet and then install in my laptop. The CD didnt work and neither did the automatic updates of the device worked and hence i am giving a 4 starI will post again if I feel the device stopped communicating wth the router.All seems good at the moment
MADHAV RAJ –
