Turning off the built-in wifi and plugging this dongle in, it was detected and worked without additional drivers, true plug-n-play. Which is the whole reason for my puchase - to wirelessly install drivers for M.2 wifi cards that Windows doesn't recognize. Total win on this point.
Went to TP-link site and installed the driver and down/up speeds shot up. Bonus.
Easy recommend. Very happy especially for the $17.99 special pricing!
My Math teacher (myself) says that USB3 + 867Mbps = Really fast webpage loads, and a flawless high-speed online gaming experience... I think I'll buy 3 more because they work so well...
BONUS: With a little bit of searching and following instructions, It works with Linux also... You have to install the drivers for it manually using the command line interface... The drivers are out there, you just gotta home-in on them... GOOD DAY...
Firstly, the installation process was incredibly easy - I simply plugged the adapter into my USB port and the driver installation process began automatically. Within minutes, I was up and running, enjoying a reliable internet connection that was not only faster, but also more stable than my previous setup.
The adapter supports both 2.4G and 5G dual-band WiFi, which means that I can connect to both older and newer routers without any compatibility issues. The adapter also features MU-MIMO technology, which ensures that my internet connection remains stable even when multiple devices are connected to the same network.
One of the standout features of this adapter is its compact size. It's small enough to fit in my pocket, making it a great option for on-the-go use. The USB 3.0 connection ensures that I get fast transfer speeds, and I appreciate the added convenience of being able to connect and disconnect the adapter without having to reboot my computer.
Overall, I highly recommend the TP-Link AC1300 WiFi Adapter to anyone looking to upgrade their PC's internet capabilities. It's a reliable, speedy, and versatile option that has exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a gamer, streamer, or just someone who needs a stable internet connection for work, this adapter is a fantastic investment.
Great price and good product quality.
