Customers say
Customers find the WiFi adapter works well and is easy to set up, with strong signal reception and significantly faster performance compared to previous devices, achieving speeds up to 120 Mbps. They consider it a good low-cost solution, though some report durability issues with the device breaking within 6 months. The connectivity and driver installation receive mixed feedback – while some report strong connections, others experience frequent disconnections, and while drivers come on a CD, some customers have trouble installing them.

Title: Does exactly what I ordered it for
Review: I have a desktop PC I inherited from an office where it was hardwired to the network, so had no wireless card. I use it in my laser-engraving shop that’s accessible only by Wi-Fi, and this was among the most inexpensive wireless adapters. Installation was absolutely trouble-free; I just followed the clearly written instructions and was surfing the Web less than 10 minutes after I opened the box! I’m very satisfied with the unit’s ease of installation, background “invisibility” after it’s installed, and the quite high transfer speeds it achieved. Amazing performance for almost no money!

Title: Read Me
Review: I am so DISAPPOINTED… that I didn’t find this item sooner haha.. It legit got here in less than 24 hours, not sure if it’ll be the same for you though. It came with a CD, which is dated tech but luckily I didn’t even need it! I plugged it in & immediately got reception. It was so easy. Kind of bulky but I needed range & that’s what it gave me. Can’t beat it for the price.

Title: Great affordable solution! Worked without having to download drivers!
Review: My HP laptop, which is brand new, started giving me problems recently connecting to the home wifi. No one else’s devices was having any issues with internet connection or speed. I figured it was probably the laptop wifi device having issues, because it couldn’t find my phone hotspot either. I got this TP-Link AC600 device. The minute I plugged it into the USB, it started flashing green and even without downloading any drivers or using the included CD, BOOM it connected instantly to the internet and now my wifi is working without an issue! Love how affordable this was and how easy it was to just plug-and-play! I’m so grateful this item exists and I can keep using my laptop!

Title: Could be a problem given it comes with a CD
Review: Came with a CD, who supports that LOL. Luckily the instructions point to a download page, and although it was not immediately clear which to download I was able to. It helped that I was on the wired network or this might have been a very difficult task. Once it I went through the setup it worked quickly and easily. I guess I would suggest that being a USB device perhaps the driver could be internal or a separate usb drive.

Title: Fixed problem where the laptop would not see my home network wifi
Review: My old win 8.1 laptop onboard wifi network adapter would not see my new 2025 year wifi at home, and when it did happen to see it, it had a error message that said cannot connect to this network. As soon as I installed this USB wifi adapter and the driver for it on the cd that came with the wifi adapter it instantly seen my home network wifi and connected. Speeds are good. No problems whatsoever. Very pleased with this item. This solved the issue and works well.

Title: Unreliable, Frustrating, and Potentially Harmful – Avoid This USB WiFi Adapter
Review: I purchased the TP-Link Archer T2U Plus USB WiFi adapter hoping it would solve a specific issue: my older laptop’s onboard WiFi struggles to detect my work network, even though it connects just fine at home and to public networks. Initially, this adapter seemed like the answer—but it quickly became clear I had traded one set of problems for another, much worse one.The Core Issue: Intermittent DisconnectionsThis seems to be a widespread problem among USB WiFi adapters, especially those using Realtek chipsets (which includes this one). The connection will randomly lag, drop, and completely fail to reconnect. The only fix? Yank the adapter out of the USB port and plug it back in, essentially giving it a hard reboot. Sometimes it reconnects; sometimes it doesn’t. In extreme cases, it disconnects again within seconds. This isn’t a one-off fluke—I’ve experienced it consistently, and it matches what countless others have reported.Not Just This Adapter—Likely a Realtek Chipset ProblemAfter some digging, it appears Realtek-based adapters are notorious for poor driver support, unstable performance, and strange power-related issues. Frustratingly, most affordable adapters on the market use Realtek chips, and it’s difficult to find ones that don’t—there’s no central list of alternatives, and product pages rarely specify the chipset used.Bigger Problems: USB Port Glitches and System InstabilityIt didn’t stop with network drops. One morning, I booted up my PC and realized multiple USB ports had stopped functioning. Devices like my speakers wouldn’t work when plugged into these “dead” ports—unless they were already connected when the PC powered on. Even weirder, unplugging the TP-Link adapter would instantly bring those ports back to life. Plug the adapter back in, and things might work—until the next reboot.This wasn’t isolated to my machine either. My wife’s PC experienced an even worse issue: the adapter caused power draw problems during Windows boot, leaving the M.2 SSD underpowered and triggering boot failures. Booting from Linux confirmed the adapter was acting strangely, with system utilities flagging it as a misbehaving USB device.Poor Setup Experience and Misleading InstructionsSetup was frustrating too. The adapter couldn’t even detect the specific network I bought it for, although it could see every other nearby network. It also created a TP-Link-branded network that demanded a password or security key that’s never mentioned in the instructions. The manual says to use the WPS button on your router, but guess what—Spectrum routers don’t have one. Dead end.No Real Support from TP-LinkTrying to get help from TP-Link is an exercise in futility. Their customer service is almost nonexistent, and their online resources are focused mainly on their routers and modems—not adapters. You’re far better off looking up YouTube videos and Reddit threads. Just don’t expect any kind of direct support.Bottom Line: Don’t Waste Your Time or MoneyThis product, and frankly most USB WiFi adapters using Realtek chipsets, are unreliable at best and potentially damaging at worst. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a week or two of decent performance before the headaches begin. In my case, and in my wife’s, these adapters caused serious system-level problems.I’ll be returning both units and requesting a refund through Amazon—which, thankfully, is usually pretty hassle-free. It’s sad, but I’ve come to view these devices as temporary fixes with a built-in expiration date. You might get lucky. Or, more likely, you’ll end up with a defective product that quietly disrupts your entire system.Recommendation: Avoid this adapter and any USB WiFi device using Realtek chipsets. It’s not worth the instability, power issues, or the time spent troubleshooting.

Title: Much improved speed over laptop’s built-in WiFi
Review: I have an older laptop that struggled to get a fast wireless connection. Adding this wireless adapter with its external antenna has made a big difference in internet speed and stability. Would buy again.

Review: A antena é excelente. A placa anterior queimou por conta de pico de luz. Como é um apartamento antigo e cheio de paredes e obstáculos, a antena funcionou muito bem e melhor do que a placa anterior. Recomendo.

Review: Works great. Had one hiccup during installation of driver software.This happens if you insert the USB adapter while a Windows update is waiting in the queue. For some reason the installation of the Wifi driver fails. After installing the Windows Update the Wifi Adapter does not show the installer anymore. When this happens copy the installer to a folder on your computer before running the Windows Update. If you forget this step, you can download the installer from the TP-Link website. URL is in the small document that comes with the Wifi Adapter.
