Practical, efficient, effective

Replaces WiFi access point repeaters. No more settings, no more extended networks. Just great stuff....

Works randomly

The TP-LINK ARCHER T3U works randomly, we don't know why but all of a sudden no connection, the little LED on the back goes out, you have to either unplug/plug it several times or go into the device manager to deactivate/reactivate it so that it works again. I bought this product 5 days ago and asked LDLC to take it back to get a proper WiFi card, the answer from the shop was to bring it back to test it and if they find it doesn't work I could exchange it, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one... I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to get a copy of this product and to have a look at it in the future.

        Good, but sensitive to heat

        I used this adapter for a long time because my motherboard didn't have a built-in network card. There's nothing to complain about in terms of performance, it even picked up reception upstairs with the router on the ground floor (I can't say anything about speed as I have a country connection, it's always slow whatever the equipment...).
        On a tower, however, I'd strongly recommend plugging it in at the front and not at the back, even if the back seems more practical, as it's very sensitive to heat and loses the connection during more intense gaming sessions (oops).

        Very good but

        After switching to fibre, I wanted to boost an old laptop. I already had to modify the driver to force it to 5Ghz.
        Then, close to the box, the performance was good but not great, but as soon as you move away from the box the performance drops until it's not as fast as the motherboard wifi even though it's 2.4Ghz.
        However, when installed on a Tower PC, I've doubled the speed.

        Without this key, I no longer had WiFi

        I was delighted with the welcome and explanations given. As I'm not at all a computer expert, this key means I can get back online and keep my computer for the time being. Thank you

        Effective

        Nothing to say more makes his taff better than what was in terms of wifi key. No personal bugs with free fibre no bugs knowing that it's used on a 10 year old PC but Win 10 with 2g of ram perfect thanks to the seller for this purchase.

        Good product... but the 5GHz is unusable!

        Quite a high-performance product, except that the 5GHz is unusable for lack of an updated driver, apparently (see this post on the PC Tips forum: https://forum.pcastuces.com/impossible_de_passer_de_24ghz_a_5ghz-f6s82452.htm).

        Not suitable for play.

        Regular loss of connection in the middle of a video game.
        Invisible when browsing the web, but very noticeable when playing video games. My phone with a usb/wifi network bridge is more stable than this key.

        Saving my life

        Initially I had taken it so as not to use an ethernet cable as well, but I'm losing out on speed compared to my ethernet ports, but it still saves me having to upgrade to win10 on my der pc.

        Strangely enough, I also get better throughput on peer-to-peer via modem when DDL is on the web, so here I'm using it to transfer data from PC A to PC B while I buy a 3rd T.T. ethernet cable and it makes the coffee.

        Simple and effective

        I was looking for a small wifi key for when I'm on the road with the laptop and want to use my phone as a shared connection.
        Installation is straightforward, there are no settings, it works straight away and it doesn't move, it never picks up.
        Good product, very affordable and impeccably reliable.

        What about Linux?

        Does not work natively on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)
        You need to install a driver with dkms, as indicated on the TP-Link forum: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/208022
        The whole point of a dongle is to be able to fix a connection in a hurry, but this is far from practical. What a pitiful thing for the manufacturer to do, what year is this?

        Not in compliance

        Bought to replace an old, less efficient key, this key does not allow me to reach the promised speed since I barely reach 400 Mbit/s (as opposed to the 800 Mbit/s expected in 5GHz, for a box that serves 1Gbit/s). In addition, it regularly generates connection losses and takes a long time to restart when it resumes from standby. There may be problems with my PC or Windows 11, but I'm clearly not happy with the product.

        Item met my needs and was delivered quickly

        This item meets my needs: this wifi key allows an easy connection to wifi networks, without untimely disconnection. However, my rating would be higher if its operation under Linux did not require the download and compilation of a firmware. It would be necessary that finally the manufacturers release the code of their firmware!

        This little wifi stick is just perfect, just plug it into the USB port and it works instantly, no driver to install, these are already installed in the stick, it works directly, no adjustment to do, and I went from 50 Mb/s with a wifi repeater to 230 Mb/s with this stick, my box is however more than 5 meters from my PC.
        For this small price, just perfect.

        Wifi in the towers

        This is a very handy little key that has helped me out a lot. If the goal is to have wifi in your office machine on a one-off basis, it's much easier than installing a wifi card in your tower.

        Simple and effective

        This USB wifi key is simplicity itself, you plug it in and you can use it immediately.
        If coupled with a wifi ac router of equivalent speed, the speeds approach gigabit Ethernet.
        The connection is stable over time, and the key hardly heats up at all under load.

        If you encounter random disconnections, disable the power saving feature of the wifi key from the device manager:
        Right click on "this pc" (on the desktop), then "manage", "device manager", "network cards", "tp link wireless usb adaptater", "properties".
        In the tab "power management" uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device..." then OK

        The WiFi key is not for me, so no opinion on the product itself. However, I waited a bit too long for the product to arrive in the shop. LDLC made no trouble to ship it back to me, a good business practice when you don't have the logistic capabilities of Amazon. I appreciated this.

        Works randomly

        The TP-LINK ARCHER T3U works randomly, we don't know why but all of a sudden no connection, the little LED on the back goes out, you have to either unplug/plug it several times or go into the device manager to deactivate/reactivate it so that it works again.
        I bought this product 5 days ago and asked LDLC to take it back to get a proper WiFi card, the answer from the shop was to bring it back to test it and if they find it doesn't work I could exchange it, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one...
        I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to get a copy of this product and to have a look at it in the future.

        Perfect product.

        Perfect product.
        On the other hand, LDLC has big problems with the company in charge of delivering in relay point. Company "Relais colis". On two occasions I was not informed of the availability of my LDLC packages.
        I have provided my email address and telephone number in order to be informed, but not being informed means running the risk of exceeding the number of days for the delivery of the parcels, with the consequence that they are returned to the sender.
