Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ TP-Link TL-WN725N Wireless USB Adapter: Get 150Mbps WIFI Speed on XP/Vista/Win OS by Amar Amar แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

At work, the task was to purchase a Wi-Fi whistle with the ability to create a local network and connect other devices to the whistle. In one well-known store, this adapter was purchased, brought to the office and plugged into the front USB of the computer. Windows 8.1 without any problems found and installed the minimum required drivers for the whistle, and I was immediately able to connect to an existing wireless network. Dancing with a tambourine began after an attempt to create an access point - and these dances were crowned with success. Create an access point The drivers on the disk were old. Utility for network management - too. None of this worked under Win 8.1, only the whistle itself worked and caught the signal (but it was Windows itself that "configured" everything). An attempt to build a network through Connectify was unsuccessful - our phones, although they saw the created network, but did not connect to it. They just silently dropped the connection for an unknown reason. What to do? We go to the official TP-Link website, switch the site language to English (I chose the UK on the map), find our adapter and see that the driver and utility are of 2022, while on the 2022 site - 2022. Moreover, in 2022 version added Win8 support. Download, install, and everything works. The access point is created by a native utility (only downloaded from the English version of the site), it catches 4-5 meters (we donโ€™t need more yet, and the size of the whistle . you shouldnโ€™t expect revelations). A couple of brick walls of our office passes, but the signal level drops to 1 stick. But it works, the speed is acceptable. As a result, I am satisfied with the purchase. The only disappointment is that the utility does not work out of the box. Download the utility from the English version of the site and rejoice. I put 5 points, because nevertheless, with the hardware, the device fully meets my expectations. I could have dropped one point for the old utility that came with the kit, but I decided not to.

Pros
  • The size Cost
Cons
  • (IMPORTANT!) Old drivers on the 2022 site TP-Link Due to the small size, weak transmitter power. Within one or two rooms maximum.
