Size and Design:
The best part about this is that it is very compact in size and very sober and elegant in design. This is a big plus as it is an easy plugin and use, add to it the good sober design.
Build Quality:
The build quality is undoubtedly superb. Just have no qualms about that, at all. When held, it doesn’t give off that cheap and flimsy product-like feeling. It is good sturdy with its build quality.
Packaging:
This part is also a big plus as the item was well cushioned and packaged with all the necessary items that ensured that no damage could have been caused to the product during transportation. This ensures that I as a customer have received something not damaged internally already.
Software:
This is actually a good but not great part of the product.
The good part is that a CD has been provided with it along with a manual.
The not-great part is that NO LINUX SUPPORT has been given from Version 2 onwards. This is bad, really.
Speed:
It easily supports net speeds upto 300 Mbps. Practically speaking, I have tested it at my home and it easily supports a net speed of over 100-150 Mbps without a sigh.
On testing, I found that it did connect to a 5GHz network, without any issue.
Connectivity:
Please mark it’s not feet it’s meters. Multiply meters x 3 to get the distance in feet.
It easily connects to my laptop or phone from 7 meters across one room. So that 21 feet. I mean even our old Bluetooth used to connect to about 15 ft.
So 20-25 feet is not at all an issue with this. This is the big plus I found with the product.
Experience:
From this point of view, so far except for the Linux non-compatibility issue, I found no other flaws with this product.
So overall it’s a great product.
Warranty:
It’s 3 years so I am assured that at least for 3 years I am tension-free and not just 1 year, contrary to most electronic items today that only provide 1-year warranty with their items.

Excellent! TP-Link does it again!
Short version: Need a network speedup for that older laptop or desktop with no wired connection available? Get this and be happy.
It’s not often that a particular brand turns out to be good every single time, but TP-Link is one that does. Bridge, WAP, NIC, Gigabit switch, and now this USB wifi adapter. I’m 5 for 5 being very happy with a TP-Link purchase. This 802.11n adapter did exactly what I hoped it would. I have an older laptop with built-in 802.11g. I use it with a treadmill desk, and for some reason, even though “g” is faster than my ISP, with that old laptop, I only get about half the speed I do with wired Ethernet. So I to a chance. It worked. Now, speedtest.net reports the same Internet speeds on my wireless laptop as my wired desktop. Youtube treadmill videos stream better than ever and don’t hiccup when a large email is downloading at the same time.
The only way installation could have been easier would have been if Amazon had someone open the package for me. I plugged it in, selected my local wifi connection, typed the wireless key, and we’re ready to rock ‘n roll. A mini-CD came with the adapter, but I didn’t need it with Windows 10. The adapter comes with a cap, in case you need to remove and store it. Activity light confirms its moving data.

Absolute fabulous product
Absolute fabulous product. This review is being written while connected to TP-Link TL-WN821N 300Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter. Easy to install and set up. Just insert CD provided in the CD drive and install the software. Please note that the USB-Wi-Fi adapter needs to be plugged in before installation. Amazing speeds as connected thru mobile hotspot. Same speed as in mobile, no variance. Quality packaging and affordable. Good product by TP-Link.

Bye-Bye Low Signal Strength
Just got this on the 13th of May, 2020. My desktop was too far away from my house Wi-Fi and both Wi-Fi card and dongle dropped the signal frequently. When they did connect, the speed was only about 20%. So I ordered this TP-Link TL-WN822N N300 Wireless High Gain USB Adapter (White) to solve this issue. All I can say now is: problem solved. In fact, I’m writing this review on the very desktop to which the device has now been installed.
Pros:
- Reasonable pricing (I bought this for 899 Rupees)
- Easy Installation on Windows 10: Plug and play
- Speed seems to be at about 80-90% as per my internet connection plan
- Long wire enables a variety of placements for the best signal strength location
- Compact and light. I was surprised it’s so light.
- Stable and consistent connection.
- Driver CD provided in case you are using older operating systems
Cons:
Nothing really negative comes to mind on the first usage. So far so good.
Conclusion:
If you have similar low signal strength due to long distances from the Wi-Fi router, then this is certainly an option to consider. Cheaper alternatives are available but since I’ve used small dongles, they are not suitable if your desktop/laptop is not in the same room as your Wi-Fi router. I was looking at the more expensive alternatives as well but decided to go for this one as it has two antennae and costs below 1000 Rupees.

VERY MUCH SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT.
I got my Broadband for which I needed a wireless wifi USB receiver. After a lot of surveys, I decided to buy TP-LINK 150 Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter. Just within two days, the product was delivered via ekart. The packing was nice and rigid. When I opened the packing I found my TP-LINK 150 Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter in a sealed pack.
After installing the software and plugging in the adapter it was an airy breeze flowing all over.. the connectivity is awesome. Network signal is even better than some of the other products of the same price range.
my neighbor uses a Netgear product. we tried to compare my signal strength with it and to my surprise, I found my nano was delivering even higher network signal strength than the NetGear product without any drop.
As the electronic products may give different feelings to different people, I convey my opinion for this one as WORTH BUYING……….

Don’t waste your money
This product is really horrible..don’t even waste your money…my pc is 2 meters away from the wifi router yet I don’t get full range…
The most frustrating part is it has major driver issues..the driver CD they provided by them is way worse than the drivers available on Windows 10..it messes with the already included windows 10 drivers and ruins stability if you even try to use another wifi USB adapter.
The worse part is it loses net connection every 2 minutes and you have to switch on airplane mode and off it to reset the connection…and after all this, I couldn’t return it because it was only replaceable, not refundable.
BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

WARNING — AWFUL Driver support from TP-Link
Bought this back in 2018 expecting better driver support from TP-Link compared to Netgear. I was wrong.
PROS
– It works. You can just plug it in and Windows 10 will install a driver for it, you won’t even have to install the one from their site. Isn’t that amazing folks?
CONS
– NO, no it isn’t amazing. First of all, everyone (who knows how to use a PC) knows that Windows 10 installs obsolete or broken drivers for any hardware. So for this TP-Link, it installs some ancient driver that doesn’t have the “Wireless Adapter Properties > Advanced > Wi-Fi Config > Performance/WiFi” section. This means the adapter runs at low signal quality no matter how far your Router is. So the only way to get a maximum signal is to install official drivers from the TP-Link site. This brings me to.
– BROKEN DRIVERS on Windows 10. Seriously, they were last updated in 2018 and Windows 10 keeps breaking them especially on every Windows update (like W10 does for some old hardware). You’d think that a company like TP-Link would fix this issue, but then you’d be wrong.
So basically, now I have to repair the drivers every few restarts or whenever Microsoft decides to break them again. This is fun… like “face-planting on a gravel road” fun.

The range is too low
I bought this to connect my office desktop to the WiFi network. Unfortunately, it can catch the signal only when others are not using such as early morning before my colleagues come or late at night. My laptop can perfectly catch the signal at the same position but not this WiFi receiver. It can receive from my Mobile hotspot. But what’s the point? Some reviewers said it is better than the laptop WiFi. It is NOT the case with me. Uselessly lying for the past three months after having tried in many ways. NOT recommended.

It is not plug-n-play… you need to install drivers for any version of windows (including 10)
On windows 10 it was initially found working straightaway without installing device drivers.
We specifically purchased it for this plug-n-play support (since all Chinese devices are known to have firmware and driver vulnerabilities).
But soon we found the device intermittently not working, even pings were timing out.
Later found, windows 10 was not using the correct driver (used Realtek one).
Then we removed that driver for this device and found Windows 10 could not identify the device manufacturer or device id properly.
Downloaded the software online. And installed it. Then the device working okay. (But this was not expected).
Next found the range is very minimal and lots of retransmits keep happening.
felt the N300 feature may not be working fine on this device.
Never used as a hotspot. Recommend not to use that way… do not trust the device driver installed!!
Will throw it away once a better one is available in the market for our Desktop PC.

Poor signal detection on Ubuntu machine
Bought a tp-link Wireless N USB Adapter. Since it is Amazon’s choice.
Noticed that the tp-link Wireless N USB detection is weak detecting the wifi signal,
Ordered new tp-link wifi. Still surprised to see TP-link Wireless N USB Adapter is not able to detect tp-link wifi.
Then I ordered a tp-link extender thinking that the distance is more than 40 feet.
TP-Link wireless adapter is not still working as expected.
Since this exercise took more than 3 months, now I can’t return my TP-Link wireless adapter.
