Review on Wi-Fi adapter TP-LINK TL-WN822N, white by Petar Atanasov-robi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

While downloading torrents, the adapter stably hung up after a few of minutes using the driver taken from the native disk, and I had to withdraw from the network and reconnect again to regain Internet access. Even though they were dated November 2022 on the official TP-Link website, the firewood I downloaded was the same as the firewood on the disk, which was also dated 2022. Reading the reviews helped me realize that the adapter relies on a chipset manufactured by Realtek, so I went ahead and did so. The quickest and easiest method is: Network Adapters in Device Manager under Control Panel's Select "Details" from the "Properties" menu after right-clicking the TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter. choose "Hardware ID" from the drop-down menu > Put this entire ID onto your clipboard memory > just copy and paste, then add "driver" to any search engine > locate the appropriate Realtek driver for your Windows OS using the device ID. Just put it in like you would any other driver. The Rialtek driver, on the other hand, is from 2022, making it very modern. The Realtek driver installation resulted in an increase to 60 Mbps out of a possible 100 Mbps. (Roughly fifty meters is a respectable distance between the router and the adapter.) It was discovered that a significant reduction in the number of connections is required in the settings of the program used to download torrents in order for the adapter to behave intelligently. If uTorrent's default is 200 connections and you only need 20, go to Settings > Bandwidth > Connections > Maximum connections. Limit each torrent to a maximum of 3 or 4 connected peers. With these settings, the adapter will no longer freeze during the upload process. I'd like to add that the device functions best when the antennas are placed vertically; the speedtest indicates a slight decrease when the antennas are horizontal.

Pros
  • He is currently employed.
Cons
  • because of the shenanigans that took place.
