First part of this is to trash Asus. Bought a vivobook i5 new in the box on clearance (not from Amazon). Figured Asus makes a good motherboard, laptop should be good too. NOPE. First couple of days it was fine, then the touchpad went wonky. started opening windows, magnifying windows, closing them, just all kinds of crazy stuff. So to use it, I bought a cheap wireless mouse. Few weeks later wireless stopped working. Did a bunch of troubleshooting, yep, internal wireless out. Tossed the thing a side and didn't use it. What isn't Asus fault is me being lazy and not sending it in. Life happened and decided to pull it out again to get some use out of the lemon laptop. I purchased the TP-Link AC 1300 usb just to see if I could get it to work. Lets get the stupid out of the way first. Win 11 doesn't have a driver for it, TP-L sends a CD. Guess what doesn't have a CD drive, like most new laptops do. No way to get the driver on unless I cable up and download it. Once I ran a cable across the floor, went to the site and downloaded the driver, the rest was easy. It installed, went right on my network and works fine. Speed is good and haven't had a problem with it. Now I'm just waiting for the USB system in this poorly constructed laptop to fail next and turns this laptop into a boat anchor. Buy this work around for a bad wireless, Do not buy a Asus Vivobook. Did I mention the vivobook has a really weak battery? No, well it stinks too.

My laptop wifi stopped working (would not find any wifi signals) - troubleshooting determined a hardware failure, so rather than start looking for a new laptop, I purchased the TP-Link USB WIfi Adaptor T3U. Plugged it in, Windows 10 recognized it (no need for the CD and Drivers that came with it). I disabled the internal wifi and enabled the new adaptor, did a search, connected to my home wifi just fine. Did a speed test (I have 1G Mps from my provider, modem in my wife's office upstairs, she gets around 790 Mps download wired ethernet speed, but my home office is downstairs, and a wired ethernet connection to a hub in my office with a TP-Link Wireless Nano router afixed. Alas, the ethernet cable is CAT-5 (100 Mps) so the max wired speed I get is about 120 Mps from my office). Wifi speed test with the new TP-Link adaptor is @ 65Mps download 10 Mps upload. Comparable to my desktop computer when using Wifi vs. wired. Quite happy with it..

Small but mighty! Helps to get better service for your desk top! I live in a dead zone so it makes it easier to connect to my internet! Great price and product! It's universal and design makes it so easy

I got this WiFi adapter back in 2022, and it has worked amazingly! It is super cheap, gets the job done, and kept my ping between 7-16. It is so easy to use and it is super tiny, very surprised how well it has worked over that past few years. Although it seems like it is slowly starting to have some problems. Sometimes I need to unplug and replug it in for it to work now, and it takes a second to connect. For 15 bucks, it was definitely worth every penny! I really like the brand, I’ll definitely will be getting an upgrade sooner than later.

Like everyone else, I had an older Win10 system and had to upgrade to Win11. I had an old (over 10 years) LinkSys USB Wireless adapter and couldn't get a Win11 driver for it. After looking over what was available, I chose this one and am very happy with it. This adapter is small (just over an inch long) and is much harder to accidently knock out of the USB slot. Speed tests are giving me faster download speeds that the LinkSys and its internal antenna system is much more current than older USB models. Worked perfectly fine for me.

I have a Dell laptop that the wireless quit working. When the TP-link arrived I followed the directions and it worked! No problems. Very easy to use.

I didn't know I needed this adapter for Starlink. It works great and good value!

I have lots of computers, on the order of 30 or so and USE Mac, PC, and Linux. I tested this DOA device on 4 different computers: One mac and three win 10 PC. I am the first to admit that Win 10 with its endless updates and driver updates is an accident waiting to happen. But this TP-Link device was right out of the box. Sold as a Plug and Play adapter, the green led should have signalled an appropriate driver. It did not. So then next step is to apply the disk drivers that come with the adapter. First removing any prior drivers that attempted to load automatically then apply the CD disk drivers. Again the Yellow triangle with the exclamation point. Next step in the wash and repeat cycle is to download the driver from TP-Link. Load it manually after deleting the prior drivers that may have loaded off the failed CD attempt.. and Surprise... The Yellow traingle with the exclamation point remains. So what do we have here? We have a device that is recognized as a USB adapter but CAN'T use any drivers to function. I did a total of 7 installs on four different computers, one mac, and three different Win 10 computers. I had no alternative but to contact TP-Link and their phone help clowns that read from a script but don't actually know the product or the customer. So they tell me they will send me instructions to trouble shoot. They don't tell me what this is but it to download driver from their website and apply them manually. So What do these geniuses send me? They send we Windows 7 screen shots and Window 7 instructions to load Windows 10 computers. The first instruction calls for right-clicking on the computer icon and going to manage. THERE IS NO SUCH INSTRUCTION that applies to Win 10. So TP LINK doesn't know the difference between windows 7 and 10 but it does tell me something...They have been having issues with this adapter since windows 7! After the internet search, I was floored at how many of these TP-Link adapters were causing Win 10 and Linux users so much grief. One online blogger had the solution.. just toss it and buy a $8 AC600 adapter. What else are they complaining about... A lack of speed. This device is supposed to be 1300. Mine is ZERO. Gamers said they could not use it for games. So all around they have this defective junky product with drivers that don't work or work poorly and they send out manual driver loading instructions with windows 7 screenshots. Then we get to the 2 year warranty and the many hoops for RMA service. In my case they asked a half dozen questions about power failures etc. Even though I had told them I just opened the box the same day. They just walk the script. Next them want the serial number. They don't tell me where to look of course. I inform them I can't find any serial number on the product so they say to look a the box. So I send photos of the box and there are no serial numbers, just a UPC code and QR code on the back. I ask them, are you warranting the box or the adapters? The box is not defective, the adapter is defective. This garbage goes on day and night with these Asian-based firms. They intentionally waste your time or hope you threw the box away... That is now how warranty law works. That is how TP Link works. I strongly advise you look for online blogs before buying any TP-link products. TP-Link is out of Singapore and this junk adapter was made in Vietnam...
