First and foremost, the ease of installation is a standout feature. It's a simple plug-and-play solution; just plug it into a USB port, install the necessary drivers (which are readily available on the TP-Link website), and you're ready to connect to WiFi networks. It's a hassle-free setup process that even those with limited technical expertise can handle.
The compact design of this WiFi adapter is perfect for laptops, especially older ones with limited USB ports. It doesn't protrude from the USB port, so you can leave it plugged in without worrying about it getting in the way or being accidentally knocked off.
The N150 wireless technology may not be the fastest, but it provides a reliable and stable connection for everyday internet use. Whether I'm browsing the web, streaming videos, or checking emails, this adapter performs admirably. It's a great solution for basic internet needs.
Moreover, the TP-Link brand is known for its quality and reliability, and this WiFi adapter lives up to that reputation. I have peace of mind knowing that my connection is in good hands.
The TP-Link USB WiFi Adapter (TL-WN725N) is a fantastic and cost-effective solution for older laptops lacking WiFi capabilities. Its easy installation, compact design, and reliable performance make it an invaluable accessory for those looking to breathe new life into their older laptops. Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who wants to stay connected, this WiFi adapter has got you covered. Highly recommended!
It's fast. It does it's job. Runs online games perfectly with no lag. Unlike the one from T. It would sometimes disconnect and reconnect from its own wifi. This driver did not do that at all the 1 month I've had it. I hope it does last me a long while. This driver is amazing and I definitely understand why it's ranked #1.
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024
I could not get the TP-Link Nano, however, to work on my Linux Mint OS. I tested it on Linux Mint 11, Linux Mint 13, and Linux Mint 14 XFCE. None of these OS's even recognized that the Nano was even in the USB port. The Linux Mint 14 is set up on a "dual hard drive" boot, so that I can boot up Windows 7 or Linux Mint 14, so the hardware was literally identical for that test.
I am not completely sure if the Nano is useable or not on Linux, but I failed to make it happen and even failed to get it to recognize the new hardware as even existing. I sent an email to the company about this and if they show me how to do it, then I will update this post. I have my doubts about it being able to work on Linux though, because it was not even recognized. If it did at least get recognized, then it may be possible to use a "wireless wrapper" to make the Windows driver work.
I still give this unit a five star rating, because it makes no claims to work on Linux or even Mac, only on Windows (XP, Vista, and 7). I like its very small size. It can be left in a notebook without fear that it will be broken off during transport. It recedes into the USB port that much. Its range is better than another I had at this same size, but it was a little bit weaker in pick up compared to my internal wireless.
Update 11/22/2014: The new Linux Mint OS 17 has built in drivers for this nano wifi product! It is now plug and play on Linux and will probably also be plug and play on the most recent release of Ubuntu and the Debian versions as well, but I have not verified them (both of these have similarities to Linux Mint, since Linux Mint is built on top of Ubuntu and Debian). The signal range is a little weak compared to some of the other TP-Link products that I have, but this one may still be worth it, since it does not take much room and recesses well on the side of a notebook computer. I did also hear that this unit works on the Raspberry Pi computer with its standard OS, but have not verified this personally.
