Review on Wi-Fi adapter TP-LINK TL-WN822N, white by Eh Chit ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

I solved the problem with the indicator by using a photoresistor, a transistor, and a couple of simple resistors. As a result, the brightness of the indicator now varies depending on the lighting, and when there is no light at all, it functions as an indicator rather than a flashlight. A squeak coming from an extension cord was able to overcome the LC power filter. Indeed, there was unwelcome interference, but the link was already fragile when the door was initially opened. You are free to proceed with the purchase of a reduced product that bears the label "does not work well" because the item cannot be returned. I used a short cable with twisted pairs that I had constructed at home to link a long cable that I had (which was closer to the router) to a USB splitter. I also connected it directly using a fully shielded connection, however I did so after moving it away from the router. The issue persists; it does not always connect with the opening of Windows, and most of the time, you need to wiggle the connection in order to reach the typical speed. Strangely, if the wire was pulled out ahead of time, there were no issues encountered while using it to download torrents. As a consequence of this, I connected the Mercusys MW300UH, which has a short cable, to the USB splitter, which has a long cable. The result was a stable connection with the launch of Windows, stable work in games, and the elimination of the need to twitch the cable. The packaging and all of the components of the TP-Link have been saved, thus it is likely that it will be offered for sale at some point.

Pros
  • High speed, high quality shielded cable, compact size, rubber feet, there is an application showing which network has which channel, making it easier to choose a free channel for the router; cable length and quality are both sufficient; shielding is of excellent quality.
Cons
  • The cable is too rigid and does not permit you to install the light adapter in the correct position; the indicator is too bright at night to illuminate the entire room; when you use an extension cord, you can hear a squeak that is characteristic of a DC/DC converter; it frequently disconnects itself while playing games; sometimes the speed is slow until a physical reconnection; and when you start Windows 10, it always connects automatically.
