TP-Link Nano USB WiFi Adapter for Desktop PC-AC1300 2.4/5G USB WiFi Dongle

Needed updated WiFi on an old laptop and this was a great option for a good price, easy install and quick driver download and it just works. Tiny too.

My laptop's wifi adapter started acting finicky, so I bought this external adapter. It is fast, I get around 200-300 mbps out of my 1 gig internet, and the connection is stable. It wasn't difficult to set up. I also like how small it is. However, I have noticed it gets a bit hot.

For starters, this suited my application perfectly considering I picked it up for an older laptop with a failing internal wifi adapter, so my standards weren't set very high. The price was perfect and came in way below the cost to replace the internal wireless chip. It connected right out of the box without the need to install drivers, and performed better than the internal adaptor ever did. The design is very sleek and low profile. I didn't bump the adaptor once while moving the laptop around during my room-to-room signal tests. Its ability to pick up a strong or weak steady signal and hold it is great, especially since the laptop was from 2012 and naturally has slower hardware. Even tried out a little light gaming in each room and it held a connection beautifully. I'll likely purchase another one for another older gaming laptop I have, also from 2012 with a slow internal adaptor. That way I won't have to switch this one back and forth between setups If you're looking for a cheap and steady way to connect older hardware to the net, this will get the job done and definitely gets a "would recommend" from me. I'll add images in a few days. First time around I wasn't able to take pictures, but I will shortly to show the level of connectivity in each room and rough distance.

Good compatibility. T3U Nano works with Windows XP and newer using the drivers released by Realtek. TP Link does not provide drivers older than Win7 however. I’ve knocked off a star because despite the hardware supporting 867Mbps on 5GHz speed, it is capped to 480Mbps due to the fact that the device can only operate on USB2.0. In real world, Wi-Fi speed will max out at 200~230Mbps.

Love these things. People accuse me of getting kick backs because I recommend these so often. 😝

I recently purchased the TP-Link Nano USB WiFi Adapter for my desktop and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. This compact, travel-sized adapter is powerful for its size, easily delivering reliable WiFi connections both at home and on the go. Installation was straightforward with plug-and-play on my Windows system, and within minutes, I was connected. One standout feature is the dual-band capability, offering 2.4G and 5G support, which makes it versatile depending on the type of network you’re on. I noticed a significant improvement in speed when connected to 5G networks—perfect for streaming and browsing without interruption. The adapter’s AC1300 capability is also a bonus, allowing faster data rates, which makes it quite future-proof for any upgraded internet plans. For its small size, it’s remarkably unobtrusive, which I appreciate. I barely notice it plugged into the USB port, and because it's so small, it’s great for travel or for plugging into a laptop without worrying about it getting in the way. Overall, this adapter is a great value for anyone needing reliable WiFi connectivity on a PC or laptop, especially in situations where wired connections are impractical. It’s a small investment that brings a big performance boost. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love this WiFi adapter! I own 2 lol The range is really good for an adapter this size. Easy to use, plug and play with windows and Mac. For those kali users, this adapter supports packet injection and monitor mode without any special drivers!

I bought this one out of desperation in my attempts to find an USB dongle that would work on a clean Windows 10 machine that does not yet have Internet connection. Basically I needed a dongle that does not require an installation of drivers and relies solely on drivers that are shipped with Windows 10 out of the box - a feature much needed when you install Windows 10 in the field and don't have network connection yet and also don't want to be bothered by having to install the drivers from the CD or USB drive. It is frustratingly difficult to find such product as none of the product descriptions unambiguously state that Win 10 would not ask for a driver (some do make similar statement for Win 11). So I just bought this one simply because it had good review rating and I had no other choice but to try different products myself. The product description was not too promising as it was ambiguous. And the product was shown to come with a driver CD, which hints at the strong possibility that driver installation would be needed. But, to my surprise, it worked out-of-the-box without asking for any drivers! And no, this product does not pose as a USB removable drive to provide the driver installation files - a trick that some other manufacturers resort to. The product itself is very compact and the signal strength and data transfer speed are both excellent. So now this is my go-to dongle when I need to connect the newly installed Win 10 machines to the network and Ethernet is not available. I just wish the manufacturer would state clearly in their product description that no driver installation will be needed on Windows 10, as this is a significant competitive advantage.

Fabuleux cela fonctionne à merveille

This product states that it supports windows 11, i have search for the correct driver and try to install for windows 11 only to find out that there is no windows 11 driver, not even claimed 10, 8.1, 8, mac driver is found, i downloaded the driver for windows 7 and try to open it to install for windows 11 pc and indeed it does not work because there is no windows 11 driver uploaded into the site at all, hence making this product completely unusable. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT be it from amazon and online shopping or retail stores for this said reason.
