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.

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.

Did you find this review helpful?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.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?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.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?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*
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?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.

Did you find this review helpful?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.

Did you find this review helpful?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.

Did you find this review helpful?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.

Did you find this review helpful?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

Did you find this review helpful?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.Translated from Greek ·- Range

Did you find this review helpful?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.

Did you find this review helpful?Very good adapter, purchased for 15 euros from a physical store of a well-known chain. It does a very good job but it requires a fast network, otherwise it has disconnections and freezes. Personally, I use it for a faster connection and I connect with MB because I live in a village with poor speed. However, with the help of this adapter, I can create a hotspot and get a similar speed to what my mobile gets on 4G. I highly recommend it, it's a great option
