    I bought this device to enable me connect my recently constructed workstation to WiFi. The system runs on Ubuntu so I had to install the driver using some command line I found online. It worked perfectly and the experience has been great.

    AC1300 USB Wifi Dongle
    Easy to install, I dowloaded driver from TPlink, installed no problems.
    I now have 600mbps from PC to router, giving me 100mbps internet speed!!
    Previous PCie network card only gave 30mbps to the internet…so a great improvement.

    Well, I bought this TP-Link USB on the 31st January 2022, and it’s currently the 1st September 2023, so I’d say it’s done a pretty good job! I was sceptical after my last TP-Link USB broke suddenly, but I would actually recommend you buy this
    It’s compatible with all operating systems that I know of. Windows, macOS, Linux, possibly BSD? (I would assume so), you should consider purchasing this, it is grea

    After using one to fix an issue on a family Pc, I ended up buying another for a PC I was moving at home. t’s a nice and simple solution, comes with the driver CD and is all up and running in minutes.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPlug this adapter into a USB port and Windows recognises it without any need for driver installs etc. Compared to USB WiFi “dongles” without an aerial, this WiFi adapter has a much stronger signal, and hence in our 200+ year old stone cottage, I can at last get a really reliable and decent WiFi signal.

    Bought as a tempory measure the TP-Link AC600 Nano Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.2 USB Adapter, Dual Band Wireless does what it says it does, I just plugged it into the pc and didn’t need the installation disc. Small and discrete and it is nice to be able to bluetooth my phone to the PC without using cables.

    Purchased to add a new PC to the office short term where wired access wasn’t possible.

    This fit the bill and generally worked well. Best of all it was nice and cheap for a known good brand.

    Had an issue early on where it failed to connect and Windows reported an error with the adapter but once reinstalled it was faultless.

    I was struggling to get better Wi-Fi signal on my laptop as the router was pretty far away. I got this dongle to having a lot of hope in my mind. What a mistake! It was easy to set up, the Wi-Fi speed is definitely several times better and download speed on pc is great. I was so happy that I chose this to buy! Thank you!

    Arrived promptly. I’ve been using for 2 weeks and, so far, it works well with a TP-Link booster. Easy to install, but best installed at back of computer as it could be vulnerable to breakage if used at the front.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIf you are looking for a way to improve your Wi-Fi connection on your PC or laptop, you might want to consider the TP-Link AC1300 Wi-Fi Dongle. This is a dual-band Wi-Fi adapter that supports the latest 802.11ac standard and can deliver up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 400 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. It also has a 5 dBi high-gain antenna that can improve your wireless network’s signal strength and range.

    The installation of the dongle is very easy and straightforward. You just need to plug it into a USB 3.0 port on your computer and install the driver from the included CD or download it from the TP-Link website. The dongle is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 operating systems. It also comes with a USB extension cable that allows you to place the dongle in a more optimal position for better reception.

    The performance of the dongle is impressive and consistent. I tested it on my laptop which has a built-in Wi-Fi card and compared the results using Speedtest.net. The dongle was able to achieve higher download and upload speeds than the built-in card on both bands. The latency was also lower with the dongle. The signal strength was also better with the dongle, especially on the 5 GHz band, where I could connect to my router from farther away without any dropouts or interruptions.

    The dongle also supports MU-MIMO technology, which means it can communicate with multiple devices simultaneously and reduce congestion and latency on your network. It also supports WPA/WPA2 encryption and a WPS button for easy and secure connection.

    Some of the pros and cons of the dongle are:

    —–Pros:—–

    1- Fast and reliable Wi-Fi speeds on both bands
    2- High-gain antenna that improves signal strength and range
    3- Easy installation and compatibility with Windows OS
    4- USB extension cable included
    5- MU-MIMO technology supported
    6- WPA/WPA2 encryption and WPS button supported

    —–Cons:—–

    1- The dongle is quite large and bulky, which might block other USB ports or interfere with other devices
    2- The driver might need to be updated manually from time to time
    3- The dongle might get hot after prolonged use

    ———————————–

    Some of the reasons to buy or avoid the dongle are:

    —–Buy:—–

    – If you want to upgrade your Wi-Fi connection on your PC or laptop to the latest standard and enjoy faster and more stable speeds
    – If you have a weak or unstable Wi-Fi signal in your area and need a high-gain antenna to boost it
    – If you have multiple devices on your network and want to reduce congestion and latency with MU-MIMO technology

    Avoid:

    – If you have limited USB ports or space on your computer and do not want a large and bulky device sticking out
    – If you do not want to deal with driver updates or potential compatibility issues with future Windows updates
    – If you are concerned about the heat generated by the dongle after long hours of use

    ——————–

    —-Conclusion:—-
    The TP-Link Dongle is an excellent device for anybody looking to boost their Wi-Fi connection on a PC or laptop. It offers fast and consistent speeds on both bands, a high-gain antenna that improves signal strength and range, easy setup and compatibility with Windows OS, MU-MIMO technology, WPA/WPA2 encryption, and a WPS button. It does, However, it also has some drawbacks, such as its large size, driver updates, and heat generation. Therefore, you should weigh the pros and cons before buying it.

    Great product and works well. WiFi signal isn’t the best and can get interference when walking past the PC using bluetooth/if your phone is near when listening wirelessly. However this is expected and can be fixed by using a USB extender closer to the desktop

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersHad an ageing but decent Netgear A6210 AC1200. The latest windows update resulted in this wifi adapter going down with a driver issue. Netgear’s own latest driver was installed already but reverting to an old Microsoft driver andan internet search discovered a later Netgear driver which worked. This was only sold as compatible with up to windows 8 but i was getting 330 Mbps out of it on win 11. I’m on a different floor in my home office, and the oposite end of my house to the Virgin Router; under the TV. (yes I know!) and I have a 1000 Mbps contract. Unfortunately I have a 2.4 Ghz door bell on my system which I think doesn’t help with wifi speeds. However this little Wifi 6 adapter acheived 500 Mbps so an improvement of about 50%, but also piece of mind it wont be obsolete for a while too. I like the indicator light on the top but it is a very light device so I might get a sticky pad to hold it in the ideal position. I found I could get an extra 40 Mbps out of it by moving it around and adjusting the antennas but the latter seemed to work best in a vertical position. It gets very slightly warm to the touch in use, but I was putting it through its paces. It was also very easy to get up and running with the onboard driver. I would say very good for the price paid.

    When these are working they work really well but sometimes has the tendency to need to be pulled out then reinserted to work again, Also have to looked around on the internet as seems to be a common problem with these but when working a majority of the time are good
