Disgusting quality, impossible to use.

At the Mitinsky radio market, 10 years ago, familiar sellers dissuaded me from taking a TP-LINK router. I took the ZyXEL and am still pleased with its flawless performance. A year ago I bought a TP-LINK Neffos Y5s smartphone (there is a review about it on YM). Such squalor that he gave it to his daughter as a spare, so as not to smash it against the wall. Now here's a Wi-Fi adapter managed to buy TP-LINK. And only by the fact that he moved to the village for permanent residence and there is simply no ZyXEL for sale. This was my last contact with this manufacturer. __ Since I needed this adapter as an access point from a computer, I danced with a tambourine in the direction of distributing the Internet from it. The only way I could get it to work is: 1. Connect the device, install the driver (after that, it is advisable to restart the computer. ) 2. Start β†’ in the Search bar we write cmd 3. Run Command Prompt AS ADMINISTRATOR 4. On the command line, write: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="MyHomeInternet" key="pass12345678" keyUsage=persistent (where MyHomeInternet is the network name, pass12345678 is the login password) 5. We press Enter (input) The access point is created. 6. To enable the access point on the command line (clause 2.3. ) we write: netsh wlan start hostednetwork 7. Press Enter (input). The hotspot is on. ! When you turn on the computer, restart or disconnect the adapter, the access point itself will not turn on again and you must always write and run the netsh wlan start hostednetwork command on the command line as Administrator. (to turn off the access point, replace start with stop) To make it easier to turn the access point on and off, you need to create a . bat file and write the line netsh wlan start hostednetwork in it. Then it will be enough to run it as Administrator by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator". How to create a . bat file - look on the Internet. It's very simple.

Pros
  • No.
Cons
  • For the latest revision V5, the very useful TP-LINK Wireless Configuration Utility is missing, which allows you to easily configure the adapter. And this utility does not resemble previous revisions - it does not see the device. The included WPS utility is installed, but in no way wants to be opened through any known method. Does not catch other Wi-Fi signals and does not distribute itself. (Win-7) PS after jumping for 7 hours with a tambourine and forcing the device to distribute the Internet from the computer was disappointed that behind the wall of 3 bricks in the next room the signal drops to 1 stick. Outside the 6x8 brick house on the opposite side of the window where the device is installed, the signal disappears altogether.
