🔌 TP-Link Archer T1U AC450 Nano USB Wireless WiFi Network Adapter: Windows/Mac OS Compatible, 5GHz Only, Black Review

Replaces built-in 2.4GHz 802.11N WiFi in a 4-5 year old Lenovo gaming laptop. It stopped working as well and had a particularly difficult time staying connected to the newer AC Wave 2 routers. I downloaded the Windows 10 drivers from the website, plugged in the USB adapter and just installed the drivers. Pros: Nano-sized, think the same size as the Logitech Unifying Receiver USB adapter. You can leave a medium or larger sized laptop all the time and it won't get in your way. Only works on 5GHz.

This is a very technical post, if you are familiar with this then read on. To recap for everyone else, this product no longer works on Linux. Old versions of this product did.

Since they're relatively cheap, I don't even pay to track my RMAs. I figured the second one didn't go through and called support again. After testing, and just as we…

This doesn't work with Windows 10. Not at all. The big problem seems to be that there is no fully functional driver for Windows 10. (A driver is software that connects your computer to whatever you connect to it.) Windows 10 usually automatically installs the correct driver as soon as you connect it—not new hardware, but Windows can't find the driver. Next, I used the installation CD that came with it and followed the instructions to the letter - and hooray, Windows recognized the adapter and…

Delivery was very quick - received next day after ordering and it was Sunday! Kudos, mostly for restoring my internet access. My laptop's network card failed because I couldn't even see it in the list of adapters (when I went to the control panel). TP-Link Archer USB WIFI worked fine. Why not 5 stars? Well, it didn't work with my Windows 10 "Plug and Play" (it said on the box that it was compatible with Windows 8). So I had a Catch 22 situation where I had to go online to download their Windows
