First off I like the fact that this is a slim and sleek design. Overall I think this device does provide some value and I've actually used it less for laptop use as opposed to a home server I have that doesn't have wifi built in to the PC. As most laptops have dual band wifi these days you may not need a device like this unless your pc has an older wifi module. However if you don't, this could be for you. Overall it performed as expected given the speeds.

This is a small, usb wifi adapter which worked great in my testing. I installed it on a Windows 7 machine using the included driver disk without any problems.
If you need extra long range or extra high speeds, there are other more expensive adapters which will suit your needs better - but for a small simple stick, this does the job.

I tested this wireless adapter on a Lenovo ThinkPad 460s using the USB 3.0 port (SS) using whatever the default Windows 10 driver is. The Adapter came with a CDROM, but my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so I didn't test with the TP-Link drivers, which may be why my bandwidth is slow.
I did try testing with two different routers (cheap vs expensive) though, to see if that made a difference:
Connected to TP-Link Archer C59:
10 ft away: 95Mbps/6Mbps with my Lenovo built-in wireless, and got 63Mbps/6Mbps with the T4U wireless adapter.
35 ft away (line of sight): 95Mbps/6Mbps with Lenovo built-in wireless, and 56Mbps/6Mbps with the T4U wireless adapter.
farthest away (2 stories): 95Mbps/6Mbps with Lenovo built-in wireless, and 10Mbps down, could not connect for upload speed.
Connected to TP-Link Archer A2300:
5 ft away: 122Mbps/6Mbps with my Lenovo built-in wireless, and got 80Mbps/6Mbps with the T4U wireless adapter.
10 ft away: 122Mbps/6Mbps with my Lenovo built-in wireless, and got 72Mbps/5.5Mbps with the T4U wireless adapter.
35 ft away (line of sight): 122Mbps/6Mbps with Lenovo built-in wireless, and 38Mbps/6Mbps with the T4U wireless adapter.
farthest away (2 stories):120Mbps/6Mbps with Lenovo built-in wireless, and 32Mbps down/ 5.5 up.
I would recommend this product for connecting a desktop if you needed to, with the caveat that this wireless dongle doesn't perform as well as laptop wireless connection with better antennas.

This is a very compact little device that does its job, excellent value at its price.
Simply plug it in, let the driver do its thing, and connect to WIFI.
After installation, I did not experience any issues/lags/breaks streaming HD video and doing other internet activities.
It's great when the devices just work...

Greetings, I've had the opportunity to test a great USB adapter from TP-Link. This small USB Adapter worked smoothly connected to my windows laptop. In conducting my test, I disabled my internal WiFi card to test. I am happy to say it works great. Today, technology has come a long way to where most devices are already equipped for WiFi. But if you computer, device, or game console isn't. This is a great fit.
