Review on πŸ“Ά TP-Link TL-WN881ND N300 PCIe WiFi Card - High-performance Wireless Network Adapter for PC by Ryan Chaplain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Painfully slow, constant connection problems

The East has enough time to install and use, but it is excruciatingly slow. I have Gigabit internet and while I know Wi-Fi can't take full advantage of it, this card is terrible. My laptop boots at 300Mbps and I'm lucky enough to squeeze out 9Mbps when no one else is online via WiFi. Also, it has many connection issues. About half the time when I boot up my computer it just says there are no networks to connect to. When I actually click the system tray icon to see the available networks, they all show up, but I just can't connect to any of them, and I usually need a full system reboot to fix the problem. This is not a problem with my system as this still happens even after reinstalling windows and all new hardware. I would steer clear of that and go for something else in this price range (like a gigabyte card which I've had a fantastic experience with before).

Pros
  • It seems everything is ready
Cons
  • Crumpled
