Review on WiFi adapter TP-LINK TL-WN727N, white-black by Nakaishi Kiyoshi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

I needed something to confuse the access point while the router was working, so I purchased it. If you don't care about the warranty (it's not expensive, and I didn't feel bad about it), then you should obtain the adapter and the wire, and toss away the rest, including the driver and the utility disk, because the latter work through the back of the device. My adapter is a version 4 one. In spite of the fact that they say that ralink, chip media libraries. No, I meant media; more specifically, mt7601un. If you also have version 4, then download it from the Mediatek website, for example for the RT2870. Since it is available for all of their products, it will work. If you choose to install the program, then you should be aware that the user interface may not become immediately understandable. Using the green arrows to move through the various settings for the parameters. You must scroll all the way to the bottom in order to save all of the configurations. + You can set the channel even when the access point is muted, which is a useful feature of the Meditec tool. The adapter that has the usefulness has its own life, which is a drawback. As a result, after a few trying days, I decided to just install the driver and raise the access point using the command line. Channel 1 is always selected by default. He connected a laptop, two phones, and a phone to the Internet using a computer as a hub. At first, each person, in turn, became disconnected from the access point. This is partially attributable to the cumbersome driver/utility/adapter, and partially attributable to the fact that there are approximately 40 other access points in close proximity to me. Both of these solutions will work. Make sure that the adapter's properties in the task manager are adjusted to have a channel width of 20 MHz by using the "force" option (ap mode force bw20). If you use the chip as an access point, you can prevent it from getting too hot; otherwise, it is best to construct some kind of cooling mechanism, even if it's only a basic thermal pad (take it apart carefully, the plastic is easily scratched and peeled off). After about 15 to 20 seconds of uploading at maximum speed, the finger starts to burn to the point that it is physically hard to hold it (it gives, by the way, 80-90 Mbps). The second method is to select area 0 rather than region 1. That was helpful, and the only problem I had was with my phone losing Internet connection. Everything becomes more straightforward after the reception. I connected it to the computer, only installed the driver, and then connected it to the router. Now you should be able to work. The speed is capped at a maximum of 70 Mbps, and the channel width is 40 MHz. The time it takes is also significantly longer. When it is operating in receiver mode, it generates less heat. I did not really accomplish anything with the help of the technical support staff, and I had to take everything apart by myself. Their responses were given in the manner of "the idiot himself," despite the fact that they eventually learned to spot jambs when functioning in mixed mode 20/40 MHz.

Pros
  • - costing less than eight dollars - able to function as an access point - not capable of transmitting at 150 Mbps; nevertheless, it will be capable of receiving between 60 and 70 Mbps and returning between 80 and 90 Mbps when operating in access point mode.
Cons
  • - a sign (but it's not hard to figure out. To examine the "antenna," open the casing and look inside. - native utility and driver that are prone to bugs and are not yet complete - continually changing revisions and the uncertainty of knowing what chip you have - chip that becomes hot during periods of intensive transmission if the device is an access point, it will cause the adapter to be removed (it seems to have solved, see comment) - Intuitive utility interface - in order for the adapter to accept 144 Mbps, it is essential to force the router's channel width to be adjusted to 40 MHz.
