TP-LinkArcher T2U Plus WiFi Dongle, AC600 High Gain Wireless WiFi Adapter, Dual Band USB WiFi Adapter with 5dBi Antenna for PC/Desktop/Laptop, Supports Windows11/10/8.1/8/7/XP, Mac OS X

When I first built my PC around 10 years ago I had a tiny little WiFi dongle. It wasn’t great to begin with.Over those 10 years I’ve upgraded my PC a couple of times and also had newer WiFi routers. Anyway the one I had wasn’t really up to the task anymore and was slowing my connection down because of its age.I saw this one, read some reviews and decided to purchase one.Delivery was really quick. It’s a well designed device, looks awesome, good strong connection and speeds. The setup was really easy too.Highly recommended for those who don’t want to spend a lot but want a decent device.

Rescued my old pc in the loft conversion as the cable router died and this stepped in. Picks up wifi really well all the way from downstairs.

The TP-Link AC600 High Gain USB Wi-Fi Dongle is an affordable option, perfect for honing your network penetration skills. However, if you're using the latest 2024 version of Kali Linux, you may encounter issues even after installing the rtl8812au driver via GitHub. To resolve this, pull an earlier branch (git checkout 63cf0b4) to ensure it works properly with the latest kernel. Despite this workaround, it's a solid dongle for those willing to tweak a bit.

I was dubious about this device, after having several USB wifi adapters before. While, as ever, an Ethernet connection is always the best for the fastest speed possible, sometimes that isn't always possible and that applies here. After doing some more research into this device and reviewing other websites' reviews on this, I decided to buy it - I've not been disappointed! - The difference in speed is remarkable, after pulling no more than 250-300mb download on the previous USB3.0 wifi adapter, this is now giving me double that, comfortably.If you're have a decent piece of kit, perhaps one of the best USB3.0 wifi adapters then definitely purchase this, you won't be dissapointed.

Set up took 2 minutes from opening the box. Works seamlessly with my devices. Order arrived well packed and on time. A delightful experience all round. Highly recommend this item.

Randomly disconnectsWhen it stays connected my speeds vary wildly from 0.01mpbs to 350mpbs it is so inconsistent Only capable of WiFi 2!!!! The current standard is WiFi 6e!!!Sometimes it refuses to connect at all. Would return if I still had the box.

The instructions are inadequate, I had to get help online to find that you have go into the settings and turn off the built-in wi-fi then select "wi-fi 2" and connect it. The so called manual is on line so it would cost them nothing to write decent instruction.Despite the huge aerial, it gave no stronger a signal than the built-in wi-fi on my laptop.And the real killer, it connects to the hub at 2.4GHz with no option to make it connect at 5GHz, which was the whole point of trying it because I have interference on 2.4GHz.In short, if you have wi-fi built-in this will do nothing to improve on it.Additional: After days of trying I still haven't managed to get it to connect to my hub using the 5GHz band, if it really has this feature then it's unusable, and nothing like the claimed speeds, see the pic

Have an old Dell e6420 laptop that I’ve set up with a dock to use with a larger monitor and keyboard etc. Weirdly, when the laptop is closed (which is precisely what it is supposed to be when docked), the wifi speed drops to 120kbps download, which is unusable.This little antenna fixes that issue by plugging into a USB port on the dock.For the price, it feels well made. The USB end is a tiny bit chunky, so neighbouring USB slots may be tight, but that aside, it is great value for money and works flawlessly with a 13 year old laptop running Windows 10.I disabled the internal wifi antenna via control panel which lets this connect by default.
