Review on 📶 TP-Link TL-WN822N USB Wifi Dongle - Ultra-Fast 300Mbps Wireless Network Adapter for PC/Laptops. Supports Multiple OS Including Win10/8/7/XP, Linux, and Mac OS 10.9-10.15! by Stanislaw Szczesny ᠌

With the driver taken from the native disk, the speed was not very high - 40Mbit at a rate of 100, and when downloading torrents, the adapter stably hung up after a couple of minutes and, in order to return the Internet, I had to disconnect from the network and reconnect again. I tried to download newer firewood from the official TP-Link website, but although they were dated there in November 2022, in fact it turned out to be the same firewood as on the disk - from 2022. After reading the reviews, I found out that I need to install the Realtek driver, because it is his chipset that is inside this adapter. The easiest way to do this is: Control Panel > Device Manager > Network adapters > right-click on the TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter > Properties > "Details" section > select "Hardware ID" from the list > copy this ID to the clipboard in full > paste in any search engine, adding the word "driver" > find the Realtek driver by device ID, which is suitable for your Windows > install it as usual with all drivers. Now the Rialtek driver is from 2022, which is quite fresh. After installing the Realtek driver, the speed increased to 60 Mbps out of a hundred possible. (The distance between the router and the adapter is decent, about 50 meters. ) As for torrents, it turned out that in order for the adapter not to be stupid, you need to greatly reduce the number of connections in the settings of the program you download them with. For example, in utorrent it's Settings > Bandwidth > Connections > Maximum connections - there is 200 by default, put 20 (for example). Maximum connected peers per torrent - set only 3 or 4. Upload slots - set only 2. With these values, the adapter stops freezing. I also want to add that it is important for the device that its antennas are located vertically - in a horizontal position, the speed is somewhat lower, judging by the speedtest.
