Absolutely terrible product. I figured it was just my bad router location causing all the problems. Then I found that I no longer lose packets or experience terrible pings by installing another product. I wish I could return this junk!

Initially the adapter showed very poor speeds compared to the built in Intel adapter in my laptop. I downloaded the latest drivers from the website and it helped a lot. Now I'm seeing spikes of 500Mbps throughput on the copy of the file.

I'm a certified networking professional so trust me. I tried 6 different adapters from $25 to $110 to hit a certain threshold. I run my entire home lab with 8 VMs with concurrent network connections. This adapter is without a doubt by far the BEST. On 5GHz it easily achieves download/upload speeds of 119/18Mbps, and on 2.4GHz it gives me 88/11Mbps. The only downside is the Linux integration, which is really troublesome, but you can easily find solutions for it, so please work with TP-Link on…
