AC600 Dual Band High Gain USB Wi-Fi Adapter

The TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS is a great USB WiFi adapter for my desktop. Setup was straightforward on Windows 10, and it provides stable dual-band connectivity on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.The external 5dBi antenna really improves signal strength and range compared to my old built-in WiFi. Speeds have been consistently good for streaming, gaming, and video calls.If you need a simple, affordable way to upgrade your PC’s wireless connection, this adapter is definitely worth it.

Works great to help with staying online without any issues! It's for mine computer in the front of the house while the internet is in the back! I needed this because only in my neighborhood my neighbor and I live in a dead zone so it keeps us connected. Without dropping or disconnecting keeps the speed going and is small so it doesn't interfere with anything. Works with all computers and easy to set up

Very skeptical on buying this and it actually working, plugged it in, hardware popped up, hit run or download and boom WiFi, put myPassword In and it instantly connected, easy set up, I’m pretty far from the router and still pulling good fps on my pc, very happy with the product

Solid WiFi Boost with a Few CaveatsI’ve been using the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus USB WiFi Adapter to give an older desktop some wireless capability, and overall, it does the job well. Setup was quick—plugging it in and letting Windows handle the driver worked fine for me, though TP-Link’s website offers updated drivers if needed.Performance is solid for everyday use. On the 5GHz band, speeds are noticeably faster and more stable than 2.4GHz, which is expected. Streaming video and browsing felt smooth, and I had no trouble with Zoom calls. The long, high-gain antenna makes a real difference for range—signal strength stayed strong in parts of the house where built-in laptop WiFi usually dips.That said, this isn’t the most compact option. The antenna is large and sticks out quite a bit, so it’s not ideal if you plan to move the computer around or use it with a laptop on the go. Also worth noting: while it supports Mac, it only works up through macOS Mojave (10.14), so newer Mac users are out of luck.Bottom line: A reliable and affordable way to add or upgrade WiFi on a desktop, especially if you need stronger range. Just keep in mind its bulky design and limited MacOS compatibility.

Great price and worked instantly. Really surprised that this require a little more network setup. Very happy.

For some reason, the Internet is always spotty in our back bedroom that is used for a sewing room. I love listening to music while working, but it would stop for long periods of time before coming back on, or if watching a movie, it wouldn't stream well. This device was recommended to me, and it has changed the situation to very seldom a problem now! Very seldom, as the Internet may pause, but only for a moment now instead of a long span, and it happens infrequently - nothing like before, so a HUGE improvement! Quite amazing for this small device! It also has improved the speed of the internet and it was completely compatible with our router. Very pleased with this inexpensive "fix" for a major problem!

I have a very old Windows 10 tablet that still works great but has WiFi connectivity issues because the area I use it tends to be right on the edge of where it can reach my router. Some days it’s ok and some days it’s unusable. I figured the internal antenna is probably small and likely using pretty old technology, and that perhaps attaching a larger newer USB antenna, I would improve my signal. After switching to the USB WiFi adapter it offered very minimal improvement at first. My connection was still very hit and miss. But, the USB adapter offered more channel options than my old internal antenna and I was able to get much better connectivity by switching to 802.11ac in the adpater properties inside the device manager. This probably worked because it's a combination of newer technology and because there are not other nearby devices using this channel. To understand what channels can be used to improve your signal and how to switch them you need to look into 2.4GHz and 5Ghz and the different 802.11 channels (a/b/g/n/ac/x etc) also known as wifi 1, 2, 3, up to 7. What works for you can depend heavily on how your network and other nearby networks are set up and how many devices you have on each channel.The initial setup of the USB adpater was easy. I went to the website and downloaded the driver because I already had access to the internet on my tablet. If you don’t have internet on your device because you don’t have WiFi, the antenna conveniently comes with a CD that has the drivers. The difficulty I had is that even after adding the additional WiFi adapter, my tablet wanted to keep using the old one no matter what. But I learned that if you go to the WiFi symbol on your task bar and go into the WiFi options where you can choose a network to connect to, the very top shows the WiFi adapter you are using and it is actually a drop down menu where you can easily select the other adapter. I never knew this because I never had two WiFi adapters on a computer before. But this is nice because if I want I can easily switch back to the other adapter.I should note that my router is the same brand TP-Link, but I expect the WiFi adapter will work with fine with other routers. However, if you're trying to get maximum range and signal strength you will probably need a router that supports the same 802.11 channels as the USB WiFi adapter. Most new routers probably will but older ones might not.
