Review: Compact, Reliable & Easy to Use – Great Little WiFi Adapter! - The TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi adapter works perfectly. It’s incredibly small and discreet but delivers a stable and reliable connection
Review: Tiny and useful. Working with Debian 7, Windows XP, and Windows 7 64-bit - I bought the TP-LINK TL-WN725N Nano adapter for its wireless N capability as my Asus EeePC 1001P only has wireless b/g built-in and I recently bought a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit CABLE Router (2 UBS Ports for Storage Sharing, Media/Print Server, IPv6) . My EeePC runs Windows XP and Debian 7. It turns out that the TP-LINK TL-WN725N comes in two versions, V1 and V2. They look identical but use different wireless chips. If you get a V1 it will work out of the box in any typical Linux based operating system. If you get V2 you will need to build and install a driver module. Luckily this is very easy. You can find some information on the V2 at wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN725N_v2 and download a driver and see install instructions at github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu. Building and installing the driver just takes a couple of commands and a few minutes. You need kernel headers installed and make and gcc (and optionally checkinstall). Unpack the driver archive, cd into the directory and run `make all`, then as root or using sudo run 'checkinstall --pkgname=rtl8188eu --pkgversion="1:$(date +%Y%m%d)-git"` if you like checkinstall and `make install` if you prefer not to use it. If using checkinstall that should build a versioned, dated package and install the driver, copy the firmware to the right place and do so such that your OS package manager knows about it so you can uninstall it cleanly, upgrade without issues, or use the driver and firmware package on other computers running the same OS and hardware. Even on my low power EeePC this only took a couple of minutes. Once it was done I reconnected the TP-LINK Nano to a USB port and immediately the device became available in Network Manager and I connected to my N network without any issue. My next task was to try the Nano in Windows XP. The Nano comes with a mini-CD containing Windows drivers and utilities but the EeePC doesn't have a CD drive so I downloaded the same driver pack from the manufacturer's web site and unzipped it. On connecting the Nano to a USB port Windows detects the device and offers to check Windows Update, search for a driver and install one automatically if found. I was interested to see if this convenient feature would succeed so went ahead. It couldn't find a driver but instead hardware wizard hung and had to be force closed via Task manager. Doh! I restarted the "Found New Hardware Wizard" and this time specified where to look. It failed again and again had to be forced closed. Next I used TP-Link's setup utility and selected to install only the driver (no extra software). This worked fine, at which point Windows' "Found New Hardware Wizard" launched itself and got in the bl***y way. Anyway the driver installed successfully and the wireless interface appeared in the system tray and I connected to my N router. Success! It's been a very long time since I connected anything to a Debian PC and found there wasn't a driver or firmware automatically loaded or easily available so at first I was a bit worried I might run into problems. Actually the driver build and install is really easy and quick and didn't take any longer than faffing around with XP's hit and miss new hardware wizard. If you run Windows XP just use the TP-Link setup application and save yourself a few minutes of aggravation or tedium. I believe Windows 7 will manage this all much more competently but haven't tried it myself. The Nano seems fine to me. I like that TP-Link's set up utility allows you to install either the driver only or the driver with TP-Link's utilities. The Nano is very good value and tiny enough that it can stay permanently in place even while my EeePC is in a snug case, and I can now set my wireless router to use N instead of B/G and get better speeds on all clients. edit: I just tried it with a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded the driver from TP-Link, ran the setup and the Nano works perfectly. Whichever operating system I use the Nano reliably connects to my N network at a nominal 150 mbps. I get very good speeds, almost as good as using a wired 100 mbps LAN, so this is great for file transfers and streaming 720p video and similar tasks which had sometimes been slow and frustrating with wireless g.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi?**
A: Unfortunately both answers are correct. There are 2 versions of this adapter the V1 works out of the box the V2 doesn't. You can get the v2 to work with the raspberry pi, but its not as easy as with other wifi dongles as you need to compile the software and update it every time you update the operating system on the pi.

**Q: Can this be used to create a wifi hotspot?**
A: Technically, yes... any wifi adapter can use the windows 10 hotspot feature to share your PCs internet with other devices.... in practice, this product does not work well for local networking like this.... don't expect anywhere near the advertised connection speeds. I tried 2.4ghz modes and got connection of less than 180 (of the up to 400), and on 5ghz mode I got less than 280 (of the advertised 867).

Can't recommend this product at all for this purpose.

**Q: Does anybody know if this is V1 or V2 or has anyone used it with Ubuntu Linux**
A: I've found it works under Ubuntu 16 on a plug-and-play basis, although the connection seems to need regular refreshing. But, as it doesn't claim to work under Linux, that is a bonus and certainly it is more solid under both Win 7 and XP Pro. Still to test it on Win 10.

**Q: Does it work with windows 8.1?**
A: I have just purchased a TP-LINK TL-WN823N 300Mbps. Running it on windows 8.1. Set up very very easy and on the internet in 10 minutes.Buy this one. It appears quite fast and for what it is,  very cheap. Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for everyone :⁠-⁠(
*by H***N on 29 August 2025*

Overall a great product but didn't quite fit for me being a Linux user as it was hard to find a driver that supported wpa3. Works great with personal wifis but not bigger network ones. Sort of my mistake as well not checking the drivers availability in advance as I was mislead by Linux keyword in the title of the product which made me assured that it'd work.
