Product Description

What This Product Does

Wireless N PCI Express Adapter TL-WN881ND allows you to connect a desktop computer to a high-speed wireless network. Using MIMO (multiple input multiple output) and CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) technologies, it provides a fast and reliable wireless connection with speed up to 300 Mbps.

Key Features

300 Mbps Wireless N with MIMO

MIMO technology shows a more efficient ability of reducing data loss over long distance and through obstacles. As a result, TL-WN881ND has a larger coverage and faster speed than 150 Mbps wireless N or previous generations.

Increased Stability with CCA Technology

Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) technology automatically avoids channel conflicts by using its clear channel selection feature, and binds the clear channels to keep a stable wireless connection.

Specifications

Support 64/128 WEP, WPA /WPA2/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES) wireless encryption
Support Windows XP 32/64bit, Vista 32/64bit, Windows 7 32/64bit, Windows 8 32/64bit

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I didn't want a cord running through the length of this house, so I bought this. Easy install and everything. But it does not work well through walls. Works, but not well. I had to move the wireless router to the other end of the living room, where it'd be closer to my computer. Either way, it looks cool to having an antenna or two hanging out the back of my machine.

--EDIT--

After getting some Windows Updates, this started to run a lot faster and with greater reception. Turns out it was my machine that needed updates... or something. 'tis all good now and I'm enjoying it
So I gave it two more stars and changed the title of this review.
Did I mention the affordability? I'm in the process of building another computer and plan on buying this again :)

:UPDATE:

Gaming great with no lag!
Built three computers and they all have one of these. I started a fourth and it's gotta have one, too

Great card totally worth the money.

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have gone through 3 (this is my fourth wifi adapter purchase in about a year) wifi adapters for my PC that I upgraded to windows 10. The three other ones all supposedly supported win10 or there were drivers for windows 10 that were really for windows 8. All three of the previous ones I spent many times getting different drivers trying to get the adapters to work. All of them suffered from similiar problems...the internet just cuts off for no apparent reason or the wifi adapter disconnects for some reason. I was skeptical because after 3 adapters you get that way. Also, the other three adapters were all usb and I have not eliminated that the adapter was not to blame but instead the usb ports and bad drivers. That is a big possibility however I have bluetooth usb, xbox controllers, usb storage, all work fine and without a problem. I have even hooked up 3tb internal hdd with a usb kit and transfered about 2tb worth of steam games over usb and (while taking many hours) never had a hitch. So I don't know. This one is a PCIe card and after 3 adapters, this one works great. With my other adapters, if I wanted to install a 10gb game from steam it would start out at ok speeds but would randomly cut off for no reason. I once started a download of Diablo 3, left to go to the store (5 mins away) and came back and it only downloaded about 600mb. This card downloaded GTAV at max speed without ever disconnecting or stopping. Steam gave me a time it would download in and I set an alarm for that time (plus 5min) and sure enough the game had started when I came back to check on it. So far I love this card. Speed is great. I can stream HD video and download and still get top speeds from steam.

I used pc part picker to make sure it was compatible with my motherboard. This was so easy, didn't have to download a driver or use the provided cd. Antennas that come with it are kind of dinky, I used some bigger ones and was able to increase my speeds but still good speeds out of the box. 4.5 out 5 but I give it 5 because of ease of install

TP-LINK TL-WN881ND Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket

I generally do not write negative reviews, but the performance of this wireless card left me no other reasonable choice.

In short, the product was difficult to install and once it was up and running... it delivered a very poor performance.

For context, I have installed and used many different wireless cards. From my past experiences, generally you get what you pay for and that was the case with this product as well.

For starters, the card did not fit into the slot easily (yes... was an express slot). But that was no big deal, as once it went into place it was securely connected.

Then I could not get it up and running very easily. Used the software on the CD it was shipped with... no luck. Went to TP website and used the software... and after some time finally got it connected.

Once it was installed and connected... performance was very sketchy. The signal would fluctuate between 2-3 bars, and it would hiccup constantly. Again, for context my desktop is about 20 feet from my router with a door between them. Didn't matter, my computer would constantly lose signal and when it was connected... 10-15 mbps max (out of 50).

Long story short (three weeks of troubleshooting everything under the moon... I'll save you the details), I bought a different brand and completely different story. Installed with no issues and connected instantly. With same desktop, in same location, connected to same router, using same ISP... now getting 45-55 mbps (wirelessly).... consistently!

I purchased the TP adapter primarily for three reasons... need (wanted to connect desktop at a high speed without ugly cable), price (let's face it... this TP adapter is cheap), and high reviews on Amazon. Most of the time, the amazon reviews have been spot on and led me to many satisfied purchases. In this case... TP adapter did not work out for me. Very regretful I bought it... but we live and we learn.

And in fairness, maybe it was just a fluke. I could have returned the product and tried again or called TP customer service and given them the chance to resolve the problem. However, with the time I invested with trying to get it installed and connected... I felt like I needed to wash my hands clean and go in a different direction. So I did... and my story has a happy ending. Unfortunately, the happy ending did not include the TP adapter.

La compre para una pc para poner camaras y a mas de 25 metros de distancia del modem, es el cuarto mas lejano, puede obtener 40mbs de promedio, sin duda recomendable a pesar que ya tiene varios años, cumple su funcion, y super low profile
