    I had problems loading up the driver where it wouldn't see the device and it took several attempts for the driver to finally see the unit. I had bad delays and the games were not playing smoothly till I found that the games played excellent on the 2.4ghz signal. Than the 5ghz works really well for everything else, video stream, surfing the net,etc. So you need to create two networks anyway for 2.4ghz device & 5ghz device so thats the secret getting this to work properly.

    I bought this to enable wireless in my home so I am able to get TV channels for free through the internet. I have now canceled my cable service as this did the trick.

    I purchased this to get the most speed from my new AC wifi router and this device does an excellent job. I see a significant increase in speed when using this adapter compared to the internal wifi adapter in my Asus laptop. Kudos!!

    Adapter,used with T-M0bile phone, helped to eliminate an $89/mo. Verizon bill. this adapter is fast, very efficient and only about 1" x 4" I am very pleased with the ease of setup and quick response, using Wi Fi network to access the T-Mobile network. This unit, together with phone hotspot, eliminate a large FIOS router, entirely.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Twice so far (in the less than a month I've had it) I have found myself with no network connectivity. I open the TP Link program to discover it has forgotten my network. So I have to reconnect and enter my WPA key. I'm using Windows 7 and seem to be restricted to using the TP Link program to manage the wireless connections instead of Windows itself. But for what I paid I guess it works ok.

    T4U offers great speeds and good signal strength

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program. The TP-Link T4U offers impressive speeds and signal strength compared to the wireless N adapter it replaced. It is USB 3.0 for maximum speed and offers both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The install was quick and painless in Windows 10. I simply plugged it in and the driver was installed by Windows. The signal strength with my old adapter was a bit sketchy at times but the T4U appears to operate at full strength all the time. Large file transfers are bearable now and I no longer feel like I should be plugging into my router. The adapter comes with a USB 3.0 extension cable, but I wish the cable had a built-in.

    drops connection all the time

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been using it for over a month now but the problem has been since the beginning.Drops connection all the time. Once connection drops I need to disable the device connection and enable it again. I ignored the review from "holygeek04" and bought it,thinking he got a defected device but now that I have the same problem with my device I guess that's the quality of TPlink. Very disappointed.

    Great adapter for desktop PC

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program. This adapter has helped me cut the cord on my desktop PC. I am now not limited to having the PC in a specific room due to it not having wireless connectivity. I like the fact that it contains both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz with amazingly fast speed. This is a must have for someone who wants to cut the cord on their desktop PC that is not equipped with WiFi.
