Initially, I was using the TP-LINK TL-WN725N v3 on a 24Mbps connection. Upgrading to a vdsl 100Mbps, I also upgraded the USB wifi stick to this one. My experience is excellent with both the old one and the TP-LINK Archer T3U v1. I have no complaints and both worked plug and play on Windows 10. No need for special settings or changing ports on the sticks, etc. Some things worth mentioning are as follows. This particular one can connect to both networks provided by the vdsl modem. However, you should know that on the 2.4GHz network, you will have stable speeds but significantly lower speeds than on the 5GHz network. On the 5GHz network, you will likely have higher speeds (assuming there are no obstacles between the stick and the modem), but the speeds will fluctuate. Here, let me clarify that when I say fluctuate, I do not mean disconnections. I did not have/have any disconnections with either of the two products until now. I highly recommend it, although for those willing to spend more money, I would suggest looking into a powerline passthrough like the TP-LINK PA7017P Kit v4 and overall simplify things. I hope I helped. Good morning!

After the first week (and without any changes to the setup), disconnections started. The router is at a distance of 3 meters, without obstacles! The disconnections continue regardless of which USB port is connected.

    I had previously bought a TP-Link adapter, worse indeed, but it lasted much longer compared to this one, which keeps disconnecting for no reason. I'm not saying I have bad internet, I have a 50 Mbps line and quite a few obstacles around the PC, but there were times when it worked perfectly and other times when the disconnections wouldn't stop no matter what I did. When I started using mobile data and saw somewhat better performance, I felt a bit relieved, but it didn't take long before it disconnected again. I consider it useless and pointless, especially for its price.

    USELESS do not buy it for any reason, I don't understand why they don't withdraw it. Endless disconnections for a long time now, I thought it was broken, I went to get another usb adapter and by chance it only had the same one, I put it in believing the new one would work and it does the same. UNACCEPTABLE

    The worst I have ever used, constant disconnections, I have tried changing the drivers from the official site, I have searched everything and honestly the money was wasted. You turn on the PC, there is no signal at all, you wait ten minutes for it to connect, then suddenly it disconnects again and you have to start all over. 0/10

    Incredibly bad product! I tried every possible setting from router, extender, PC and all I managed to do was to keep reducing the speed more and more for supposed stability, but it just disconnected a little less.

    I let Windows download drivers and unfortunately I had quite a few disconnections. However, after downloading the drivers from the TP-Link site, the disconnections literally dropped to zero and it has been working perfectly for about a year and a half now.

    24/06/2025: It is 5th generation and does its job well.
    I got it because I installed 5G internet at home and the router is WiFi 6. The internal antenna of our laptop messed things up, as it is not compatible with WiFi 6. With this external antenna, the problem was solved.

    04/11/2025: Unfortunately, it started disconnecting...

    It didn't work from the first moment, I installed the drivers correctly according to the instructions.. disconnections start from the first time and with every restart it doesn't work unless the drivers are reinstalled, then it picks up a signal and the disconnections start again. (Windows 11). I believe things like this should be plug and play and not involve you with drivers, etc.

    It has less lag than the Ethernet connection(cat6c).Some times it seems that it buffers the data and sends it after a few seconds all together in online games.

    After 3 weeks of troubleshooting, I couldn't get it to work smoothly.

    I do not recommend it as some days it just decides to disconnect every 5 minutes for no reason. Having tried 3 different drivers from "solutions" on the TP-Link site, it does not work properly.

    Do not buy it if you are using it for online gaming.

    Frequent disconnections, drops in speed for no reason, sometimes it connects to 2.4 by itself resulting in the speed being limited to 150Mbps (sometimes even 100) regardless of what connection you have (it's impressive how many deficiencies arise in general once connections exceed the psychological threshold of 100Mbps)
    So far I haven't found a way to get rid of these drawbacks, the drivers haven't been updated since 2019 (I'm writing at the end of 2024)
    Definitely not the brightest moment for TP-Link which has provided exceptionally noteworthy examples in the field of networking.

    It works quite well until it overheats and disconnects from the internet. However, it captures the full speed of the router with 5Ghz and in terms of ping in games it is flawless *Depends on your line*

    Really far from this particular model. Every now and then it disconnects in an annoying way. From what I see, it is this particular model that has this issue so it must be defective but you can't keep selling it.

    Whether with plug & play or with prior installation of drivers, it has frequent disconnections and lag spikes. The last driver update was in 2019, so it is probably not expected to be fixed in terms of software. Personally, I plan to return it.

    I got two to put on two adjacent computers. The installation, although it seems easy, is not as after the successful installation of the drivers, even though it finds the wifi, it tries to connect and gives many times the message unable to connect to network. After a restart and continuous attempts, at some point it connects and everything is fine. Full speed etc. Until on one computer after 3 weeks one stick completely died. Neither the pc finds it (I tried it on the other computer and it didn't work there either), so we are talking about a faulty device. Too bad, I had it in mind.

    I installed it on an old computer (10-year-old hardware, with a new SSD) with Windows 10. It immediately found the 2.4G and 5G networks. It has connected without any problems, it doesn't disconnect or anything. It reaches almost 200mbps download and 20mbps upload (almost as much as the LAN). It is perfect for video streaming and movies, nothing lags anymore.

    It does not even recognize the 5ghz from the router's dual band, only the 2.4 and at a distance of 4 meters from the 230 wireless that I get with my mobile, it reaches only 13-20mbps. It's a shame, spend a little more money and get something else, it's not even value for money as I thought, but wasted money

    2 stars because it didn't immediately display the 5G network of my router while it displayed others and while I was connected to 5G on my mobile. After numerous tests and adjustments to the router, I ended up breaking everything and being left without internet after disabling the 2.4 network. I turned off and on the router again and everything is fine.
    P.S.
    Finally, one star because it doesn't display the 5G network of the router while displaying neighboring networks and while I am connected to 5G on my mobile. I have to take time to restart the router every time.

    My friends, it's perfect!!!
    The speed you see in the photo is with a 200Mbps connection from INALAN and I am on the balcony, 8 meters away from the router. I got it for 17€ and I think it's worth its money.

    It had a tendency to always connect to 2.4 and only after some settings I managed to make it connect to 5. It was basically a temporary solution. Unfortunately, the frequent disconnections it makes on its own as a device result in internet browsing being an endless nerve-wracking experience.

    24/06/2025: It is 5th generation and does its job well.
    I got it because I installed 5G internet at home and the router is WiFi 6. The internal antenna of our laptop messed things up, as it is not compatible with WiFi 6. With this external antenna, the problem was solved.

    04/11/2025: Unfortunately, it started disconnecting...

    It didn't work from the first moment, I installed the drivers correctly according to the instructions.. disconnections start from the first time and with every restart it doesn't work unless the drivers are reinstalled, then it picks up a signal and the disconnections start again. (Windows 11). I believe things like this should be plug and play and not involve you with drivers, etc.

    It has less lag than the Ethernet connection(cat6c).Some times it seems that it buffers the data and sends it after a few seconds all together in online games.

    After 3 weeks of troubleshooting, I couldn't get it to work smoothly.

    I do not recommend it as some days it just decides to disconnect every 5 minutes for no reason. Having tried 3 different drivers from "solutions" on the TP-Link site, it does not work properly.

    Do not buy it if you are using it for online gaming.

    Frequent disconnections, drops in speed for no reason, sometimes it connects to 2.4 by itself resulting in the speed being limited to 150Mbps (sometimes even 100) regardless of what connection you have (it's impressive how many deficiencies arise in general once connections exceed the psychological threshold of 100Mbps)
    So far I haven't found a way to get rid of these drawbacks, the drivers haven't been updated since 2019 (I'm writing at the end of 2024)
    Definitely not the brightest moment for TP-Link which has provided exceptionally noteworthy examples in the field of networking.

    It works quite well until it overheats and disconnects from the internet. However, it captures the full speed of the router with 5Ghz and in terms of ping in games it is flawless *Depends on your line*

    Really far from this particular model. Every now and then it disconnects in an annoying way. From what I see, it is this particular model that has this issue so it must be defective but you can't keep selling it.

    Whether with plug & play or with prior installation of drivers, it has frequent disconnections and lag spikes. The last driver update was in 2019, so it is probably not expected to be fixed in terms of software. Personally, I plan to return it.

    At a distance of 3 meters without obstacles, it did not disconnect for me. However, after 4 months and without daily use, it simply burned out and stopped working.

    I got two to put on two adjacent computers. The installation, although it seems easy, is not as after the successful installation of the drivers, even though it finds the wifi, it tries to connect and gives many times the message unable to connect to network. After a restart and continuous attempts, at some point it connects and everything is fine. Full speed etc. Until on one computer after 3 weeks one stick completely died. Neither the pc finds it (I tried it on the other computer and it didn't work there either), so we are talking about a faulty device. Too bad, I had it in mind.

    I installed it on an old computer (10-year-old hardware, with a new SSD) with Windows 10. It immediately found the 2.4G and 5G networks. It has connected without any problems, it doesn't disconnect or anything. It reaches almost 200mbps download and 20mbps upload (almost as much as the LAN). It is perfect for video streaming and movies, nothing lags anymore.

    I made a mistake with this specific model purchase because Linux Mint does not recognize it. Therefore, my review for the product is invalid.

    It does not even recognize the 5ghz from the router's dual band, only the 2.4 and at a distance of 4 meters from the 230 wireless that I get with my mobile, it reaches only 13-20mbps. It's a shame, spend a little more money and get something else, it's not even value for money as I thought, but wasted money

    2 stars because it didn't immediately display the 5G network of my router while it displayed others and while I was connected to 5G on my mobile. After numerous tests and adjustments to the router, I ended up breaking everything and being left without internet after disabling the 2.4 network. I turned off and on the router again and everything is fine.
    P.S.
    Finally, one star because it doesn't display the 5G network of the router while displaying neighboring networks and while I am connected to 5G on my mobile. I have to take time to restart the router every time.

    My friends, it's perfect!!!
    The speed you see in the photo is with a 200Mbps connection from INALAN and I am on the balcony, 8 meters away from the router. I got it for 17€ and I think it's worth its money.

    One or two times the PC didn't see it and it needed a disconnect and reconnect, otherwise it plays flawlessly every day for months... It is perfect for the work I need it for.

    It had a tendency to always connect to 2.4 and only after some settings I managed to make it connect to 5. It was basically a temporary solution. Unfortunately, the frequent disconnections it makes on its own as a device result in internet browsing being an endless nerve-wracking experience.

    I had the same problem with disconnections until it became very annoying, but with the update I did, the problem was fixed and I haven't experienced any disconnections again. The speed is excellent.

  • it is the worst. every tp link adapter I have bought always loses signal even if the router is in the same room, other times it just doesn't connect for no reason. just never buy it!!

  • I had previously bought a TP-Link adapter, worse indeed, but it lasted much longer compared to this one, which keeps disconnecting for no reason. I'm not saying I have bad internet, I have a 50 Mbps line and quite a few obstacles around the PC, but there were times when it worked perfectly and other times when the disconnections wouldn't stop no matter what I did. When I started using mobile data and saw somewhat better performance, I felt a bit relieved, but it didn't take long before it disconnected again. I consider it useless and pointless, especially for its price.

  • USELESS do not buy it for any reason, I don't understand why they don't withdraw it. Endless disconnections for a long time now, I thought it was broken, I went to get another usb adapter and by chance it only had the same one, I put it in believing the new one would work and it does the same. UNACCEPTABLE

  • The worst I have ever used, constant disconnections, I have tried changing the drivers from the official site, I have searched everything and honestly the money was wasted. You turn on the PC, there is no signal at all, you wait ten minutes for it to connect, then suddenly it disconnects again and you have to start all over. 0/10

  • Incredibly bad product! I tried every possible setting from router, extender, PC and all I managed to do was to keep reducing the speed more and more for supposed stability, but it just disconnected a little less. Mercusys MERMA72XH Wireless USB Network Adapter 574Mbps. I got this one and I don't lose speed and I never have disconnections.
