    Share your thoughts with other customers

    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 are available on a CD, some prefer downloading them from the website.

    I don't write many reviews, but this product is awesome. My wife and I kept having problems with slow speeds on our PCs in the bedroom, which is stupid because we're paying for top-of-the-line, super-fast Wi-Fi 6 internet. I switched out our old adapters to these new ones (we bought the AX1800 version, used for $25 each), and instantly our speeds skyrocketed. No more 10-hour downloads for a Fortnite update when we're trying to play with the kids. I am very happy with this product so far. The only issue I had was that I had to mess with them a lot to get them working. For both of them, I had to search for the drivers online using the actual model number, which is Archer TX21UH; I didn't know that ahead of time, and I was searching under AX1800, and I got nowhere. Once I found and installed the drivers, I still had to unplug the old one, reboot, and adjust network settings. On one of them, I even had to go into the device manager, network adapters, TP-link 2 (since the old one was also a TP-link), and update drivers, and then it worked (even though I already downloaded the drivers?). Either way, got it all done in 20 minutes, and it was worth it.

      Love this! This could not have worked any better. I purchased the USB wireless adapter for my PC because I am renovating my home office where the router is and the PC was hardwired with RJ45 cable. When I moved it to another room without a wire I had to go wireless. The adapter connected flawlessly and just worked right away. To my surprise and delight, it significantly increased the speed too. I think my outdated Ethernet card was choking the bandwidth because I now get over 200 Mbs with WiFi, and I don't need a cable. Win-win!

      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!

      If you are like me, you have a collection of old computers that are still functional but not 100% up to date. One of my hobbies is taking old Dell and HP office computers and turning them into low end gaming systems. Almost all of them lack any kind of wireless networking. Enter USB wifi adapters.

      Installation is ultra simple - plug it in a USB A outlet. Drivers installed and away we went.

      I gave it 4 stars for one reason - its easy to break. Not because its flimsy but because its a large item sticking out of a USB plug. The large antenna is great for getting good signal. It is not great if you have ANYTHING moving around the USB plug you choose - children, cats, dogs, etc. I wouldn't use this on an old laptop either. There are plenty of USB wifi adapters without antennas that work in those situations.

      Overall a great product with one big qualifier.

      This was exactly I needed for my PC which did not able to connect WIFI since the PC wifi adapeter stopped working and my new router had WPA3 security protocol. After connecting this adapte rusing USB port , It instlled the driver and I was easily connect to my home wifi network which was WPA3, very inexpensive way to connect older computer which does not support new wifi standards. The speed is amazing as well/

      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.

      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 Disconnections
      This 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 Problem
      After 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 Instability
      It 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 Instructions
      Setup 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-Link
      Trying 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 Money
      This 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.

      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.

      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.
