Archer T2U

I am very pleased with this TP-Link Archer TX10UB Nano as it provides a perfect balance of performance and functionality for my setup. The speed of the WiFi 6 connection is impressive and I have noticed a significant improvement in stability even when downloading large files. It was incredibly easy to set up and the compact size makes it a very practical addition to any desktop or laptop.The Bluetooth connectivity is outstanding and allows me to connect multiple devices simultaneously without any dropouts. I was particularly impressed by the sound quality when using my wireless headphones because the audio remains crisp and clear with no noticeable lag. Considering the modern features like Bluetooth 5.3 and WPA3 security included in such a small device it offers fantastic value for money. It is a reliable and well engineered product that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fast and stable network upgrade.

Setup on my Windows 11 laptop was quick & easy. Dual band WiFi is stable & drop-out free, & the Bluetooth connection is the same. An excellent product; highly recommended.

I have an old laptop I use for myself but it only has a 2.4Ghz wifi card in it and where I use it isn't the best of places for the wifi signal. I had tried a UGreen dongle and that was useless so I though I would try this TP-Link version. The driver is already on the dongle but it did take a few attempts for it to automatically work on start up. I had to install the driver several times but now it is perfect. I get wifi6 and WPA3 security on an old laptop plus the download speed is only 6Mb off my router speed. If you have an internal wifi card you will need to stop it working at start up otherwise this dongle doesn't work immediately either. If you go into the wifi setting you will see you have 2 wifi coneections to choose from and by default it seems, on mine at least, to opt for the internal card first until you stop it all together. For the price it is perfect but I deducted one star for the initial hassle with the driver and start up issue.

If you need to add or upgrade WiFi and bluetooth on a laptop you get a capable 2-on-1 product at a very reasonable price from a well-known brand. No need for the budget conscious to go for a grey market/un-branded alternative. Worked first time with both a Windows 10 and 11. Wifi range seems ok at home through a couple of partition/stud walls. Happy with previous T2UB but wanted a wifi-6 compatible device.

Positives: 1) The range on this is very good! I use it for my pc which is up one floor and through a room from my router and I get max signal strength. 2) Very easy to set up, literally just plug it into your computer, it should detect it automatically as a network adaptor. (right click the wifi logo on the taskbar, click 'open network and internet settings' and 'change adaptor options' to view the network adaptors on windows 10) I didn't have to install any drivers to make it work but you might need to if your computer does not detect it automatically. 3) Very small. No dongle or antennae and doesn't seem to affect the performance. 4) Reaches the max speed available (for me 100Mbps) Drawbacks: 1) I play a lot of games and sometimes the latency spikes to around 50/60 or even 400/500 or 1000 briefly before going back down to 20 in a few seconds which is annoying but its not that bad. The spikes vary, sometimes it happens every 5 minutes and the next day you wouldn't get a single spike and remain on 20ping. 2) This is a rare issue a couple times since owning it but sometimes the latency will spike to a stupid high number and stay there and the only solution is to plug and unplug it then its fine. For browsing the internet, streaming videos/music and general stuff I highly recommend this product, works almost flawlessly for this. If you're looking to use this for gaming then its very good for its price and size although its not ideal but most usb connectors won't be good for gaming. If you're strapped for cash then its definitely good enough to use for gaming.

it worked well, but the speed of it depleted really quickly over the span of 3 months. this could be because it was used daily and could have dropped in quality from being so hot all the time. it couldnt sustain it and slowly the speeds went down and down.

Really good product. I like that it auto-loads its drivers by appearing as a virtual USB CD-ROM (this disappears once the drivers are installed). The extendable arm is also a nice touch and seems to help with signal strength. At first I had Wi-Fi issues where Windows showed “No internet” despite staying connected to the router. The problem wasn’t with the product but rather by the Virgin Media Hub 5 and its Channel Optimization feature. This constantly forces devices to hop between channels, which causes disconnections. How I fixed it: 1) Connect to the Wi-Fi normally with the password. 2) If you get “No internet,” restart the router (temporary fix). 3) Go to 192.168.0.1 and log in using the password on the bottom of the Hub 5. 4) Navigate to Advanced Settings → Wireless → Wireless Signal. 5) Under Smart WiFi, disable Channel Optimization. 6) For 2.4GHz, set Channel to Manual and choose Channel 6. 7) For 5GHz, set Channel to Manual and choose Channel 36. After this, the adapter performs excellently. My PC is one floor and two walls away from the router, and I’m getting around 90% of my 500 Mbit/s speed, far better than the powerline solution I was using before which was giving me 20%.

This is a 1 star rating because the listing does not state if it works with Linux one way or the other. The AI Bot says this works with Linux ("According to reviews") but it isn't plug and play in Linux, you need to be proficient enough to install it yourself. The TP-Link Archer T3U 1300 MK1 High Gain Wireless Dual-Band USB WiFi Dongle however, is Linux compatible, is recognized STATES that it works and just works, (On Linux Mint 22.3) just plug it in and it comes up in your wireless list, type in your wifipassword and away you go, the MK2 may not. This gave me wireless download speeds over 157 Mbps (My paid for rate is 150mbps bi-directional) it gave me an extra bar of signal strength and 3 x the download rate on wi-fi that my old laptop's internal card gave me. Get one of the T3U MK1's while you can if your on Linux. I've sent for another one of those. :) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07LGMD97Z?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Linux Rules folks, start learning it on an old PC or Laptop, you won't regret it!

Werkt erg goed en is snel

perfecto.-

Ho preso questo prodotto perché il mio notebook ha la scheda wifi danneggiata e prima di pensare alla spesa di un nuovo notebook ho voluto provare l'alternativa. Sono già fedelissima alla marca Tp-link perché già uso dei wifi repeater e mi sono sempre trovata benissimo, ma di questo prodotto davvero sono contenta. Installazione abbastanza facile, e cmq aiutata dalle istruzioni. L'ho configurato abbinandolo al mio router direttamente dal PC attaccato via LAN e accoppiato così. Di per sé funziona ed è anche molto stabile. Prende la rete 5ghz dal router che è in un'altra stanza separata da un ulteriore stanzino (quindi due pareti) ed è anche molto stabile. Purtroppo non la sfrutto a pieno perché il notebook non è più performante quindi ogni tanto si blocca e per fare ripartire la chiavetta devo riavviare il PC (colpa del PC). L'ho infatti attaccata a un mini PC che ho e lì nn ho riscontrato nessun problema. Direi quindi che sono pienamente soddisfatta ma quasi non avevo dubbi con questa marca. Lo consiglio!

Parfait, fonctionne parfaitement et très simple à installer. Délais de livraison prévu le lundi reçu vendredi

Servus, habe mir diesen AC Wlan Stick zugelegt um das 5Ghz Netz nutzen zu können und weil er der kleinste AC Stick ist den ich finden kann. Installation etc. läuft problemlos. Die Windows eigenen Treiber führen dazu dass das 5Ghz Netz nicht erkannt wird. Somit lädt man sich entweder die Treiber von der Website oder nutzt die mitgelieferte Mini CD. Das Problem ist allerdings, dass größere Datenmengen nicht an einem Stück ankommen. Weder auf 5Ghz noch auf 2,4 Ghz. Sprich: Downloads (egal ob Downloadmanager oder direkt über Internet Explorer oder FireFox) halten einfach an. Wenn es möglich ist die Downloads zu pausieren und fortzusetzen, dann kommt man evtl. am Ende an. Aber ansonsten halt nicht. Wer bestimmte Download Manager, nutzt wird beobachten dass der Download nach ein paar Minuten wieder von alleine anfängt, aber nach 10 Sekunden auch wieder aufhört. Bei Youtube äussert es sich so dass es zu einem gewissen Punkt lädt und dann aufhört. Man kann nun entweder neu laden und hoffen oder man setzt den Regler einfach ein Stück nach vorne, woraufhin das Video erneut anfängt zu laden. Ich hatte bereits Kontakt mit TP Link. Sie wissen leider nicht woran es liegen könnte. Ich habe 2 verschiedene Systeme geprüft und es kam dabei das gleiche raus. Die TP Link Entwickler sind wohl gerade wegen Nationalfeiertag in China einige Zeit nicht da und hoffe dass ich bald neues Berichten kann. Auf einem Win 7 Pro System konnte ich dieses Verhalten nicht feststellen, habe es aber auch nicht ausführlich getestet. Sollte hier jemand problemlos mit dem Stick und Win 8.1 arbeiten können, dürft Ihr gerne ein Kommentar hinterlassen. Wenn der Kram funktioniert, gebe ich auch die 5 Sterne her :) 25.11.14 edit: Nachdem ich das System neu installiert habe funktioniert der Stick auch wunderbar. An einem zweiten Win 8.1 System macht der Stick nach wie vor Faxen, was mich nicht weiter stören soll. Der Support war auch sehr zuvorkommend und hilfreich. (Auch wenn er mir dennoch keine Lösung bieten konnte). Woran das Problem letztendlich lag, konnte ich leider nicht rausfinden. Bezüglich -Hitzeentwicklung angeht: Der Stick wird zwar bei intensiver Benutzung warm, aber sicher nicht heiss -5 GHz Netz: Ich kann in den erweiterten Einstellungen problemlos den Kanalbereich auswählen. Zu beachten ist aber dass keine Einstellung das gesamte Spektrum zur Verfügung stellt. Dadurch dass ich meinem Router einen festen Frequenzbereich zugewiesen habe, habe ich auch kein Problem mit Verbindungsverlust bei Änderung des Sendekanals.
