TP-LINK

RAS, works super well I recommend, but always better a network card but is more than enough for standard use.

A shame ...

It's just a shame to sell an item like this. I don't know what's worse, the fact that the product sucks or the reviews and ratings from the community. Yes the product *does* work, if your goal is just to connect to your router there is no problem. However, if you want to use Google, watch Youtube videos or just go on Facebook and all that from your couch that is 4 METERS AWAY from your router, then you'd better move on. This article is for people who don't have walls and live in tents... I was able to measure a downlink rate of 500kb/s at 4 meters from the router and another of 80 bytes per second at 5 meters with a ceiling as an obstacle ... So there is no point in even thinking about gaming of course... The worst product I've ever bought, I wonder if the positive reviews were not bought by the company... Pitiful. PS: For those who would say that the product I bought was defective, know that I bought 2 for my two PCs. And both products have the same performance. If you do a few searches on google you can find a lot of other people with the same opinion.

        Usb2 wifi dongle

        Used on a Mac Pro 5.1, and Monterey 15.01 operating system, installed with Opencore Legacy Patcher. The driver installer returns an error message, but it still installs the driver, and the wifi connection works.

        No surprises, and product as described.

        Does its job no more

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a good idea to have it on my computer, but I'm not sure I'll be able to use it on my computer.
        The only downside is that it's not very powerful, good for putting a fixed computer on wifi but won't go through big walls, only in the same room or if it's thin walls but won't go through big stone or concrete walls.
        A hardware of average performance and quality that remains very correct for such a small price.

        does the job

        I bought it to connect my printer with wifi to my desktop computer, while I use cable internet to take better advantage of the fibre.

        Does what it is told

        Connected to a fixed PC running Windows 10, it is recognized directly.

        For Linux or Windows XP users, simply switch to Windows 10 and use their non-standard environments in Virtualbox. The key will be recognised. Personally, I installed MOJAVE and Windows 2000 SP4 like this, and it works.

        Remember that Windows XP has been discontinued for years and it's logical that manufacturers don't care about it anymore, for Linux, apart from "rebels", this system has no interest apart from being used as an Internet server or data server. No serious software running on it, for info, I'm a software designer since 1981 and I know what I'm talking about

        For its range, it is logical that it is not important given its size. Laptops with an antenna around the screen often or equivalent solutions.

        Personally, when I'm on the move, I always bring a USB extension cable to position the USB key near the hotel room door to improve the signal.

        Meets expectations, except under linux

        The product was packaged and dispatched impeccably by LDLC, as always, 5/5 on this side.

        The product is as mentioned in the article, it works perfectly, and meets the use I make of it. The only problem is that the drivers are extremely difficult to install under Linux, 4/5 on this side, so it's a 9/10 overall. I advise as long as you don't plan to use it under Linux ^^

        Windows XP

        Contrary to what is indicated in the technical docs, this key does not work on Windows XP Home SP3 ...

        The setup on the supplied cd can't find the key, to install the right driver, it fails, and the windows update doesn't know this key (that's logical though)

        It's certainly a good wifi key for recent PCs, but, unluckily, it wasn't my need at the time ...

        Good product

        Simple and discreet, I associated it with a raspberry pi 2. No need for additional drivers under Rasbian, the hardware is directly recognized.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to use it for a long time.
        I recommend it, especially for its price.

        Very good product

        I use it with my Raspberry PI2 Model B with Windows 10 IoT and it is 100% compatible. No special installation: I plugged it in, it detected my box. It is recognized as a Realtek RTL8188EU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter. No problem for me.

        great

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product. It's very easy to install, takes up very little space and picks up wifi networks perfectly, fast connection and no loss of signal.
