TP-Link Archer T2U Plus AC600 WiFi Dongle, HighGain USB WiFi Adapter for PC

A cheap and very effective rescue for a pretty shocking network performance on a ADreamer Leobook 13 laptop. The Leobook was really cheap on AliExpress and with exception of the fabulous FHD display, was poor. It came with Windows 10 and it was so slow and the WiFi was so bad or non-functioning, my first instinct was to reformat it and install Linux. It was suddenly much, much faster using MXlinux and Manjaro but WiFi was faulty still. This AC1300 nano fixed it totally in Linux with no configuration. Two years regular use now with no WiFi issues.

Its compatibility with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Mac OS 10.15 and earlier ensures broad usability across older and modern systems. The USB 2.0 interface is not the fastest available, but it handles most daily tasks without noticeable lag. The inclusion of MU-MIMO technology enhances throughput and stability when used with compatible routers, while WPA3 security offers peace of mind for more secure connections. What stands out most is the nano design—it’s nearly flush with the USB port, making it perfect for laptops or PCs where space and portability matter. Setup is straightforward, and driver installation is quick for most users. Overall, the Archer T3U Nano offers excellent value for money, delivering strong performance and security in an ultra-small package. It’s a great choice for upgrading older devices or as a travel-friendly wireless solution. Very happy with it :)

The product works, without a doubt. However, to set the thing up is difficult. I’m running windows 11 whereas the instructions seem to only mention windows 7. It took me around an hour to set the thing up but in the end it does work and it works well. Firstly, the USB has to be plugged into a USB 3.0 port (the blue one), it will work in other sockets but the signal strength won’t be as strong. This could be a problem with my hardware but it seems to work really well in just one of my USB ports. Secondly, when you connect it to the internet, the instructions specify and I quote “Select your WiFi network, click connect and enter the password”. This is way too brief. You don’t just connect the computer to the internet, you have to physically open your WiFi settings, find where the device is located in your network and tell the computer to use it for the internet. Mine was called “WiFi 2”. I had to really dig around my settings to find how I could swap it over onto the device. One of the links in the small pamphlet (faq-2253.html) did help me find out where in the settings it was buried. Long story short, it does work, it is good value for money, well designed and I would buy again. The instructions for set-up is just useless unless you already have a vague knowledge of how computers work. Would not recommend for anyone over the age of 50.

Easy to set up, install and use more or less straight away! Started working as soon as it was plugged into the computer and the driver was installed, found the WIFI network quickly and produced decent download speeds! Definitely recommend for the price!

Had to buy something to enable my TV to communicate with my new router, I can't continue with a wired (ethernet) connection because of difficulties routing the cable. Although nobody would say that this would work with a TV I had tried something similar (but much older) and found it worked ok so decided to give it a try. Struggled getting the plastic shrink wrap off (how very unusual?) plugged it into a usb on my TV, configured the router password and... Works really well with my TV simple to set up (plug and play) and seems very stable. So impressed I've just ordered another to upgrade my Desktop PC. Absolutely Brill!

This T2U usb dongle I bought because the wifi signal to my desktop in our home office was dropping out every hour or so every day, very frustrating. This dongle is mid priced and very, very effective. I have not had a single drop out since installing it, which was simple plug and play, no additional drivers required and my wifi signal is now always 5 bars as apposed to 2 bars max with the old one. Very happy.

Ethernet cable worked ok, but i don't want a 10 metre cable winding around the room and across a doorway (the Pc is on the other side of the room from the router and theres no suitable place for the computer table nearby unfortunately) . So I bought this . I didnt install the cd drivers it plug and played straight away . It worked ok for 2 -3 days but then stopped. I spent many hours doing all the usual checks ie drivers , altering pc settings, uninstalling, re-installing, using different usb slot, rebooting router and many many other settings etc etc etc. In the end I suspect that a cable had wrapped around it or the pc tower was too close to the table leg which nudged it ,or something, as the usb part was ever so slightly bent. The price was good (£11) , it did work hence 3 stars, but its very fragile so if there is any clutter or any chance anything of anything touching it behind your pc tower, then i don't recommend it. Definitely do not buy it for a laptop, where it will get knocked about, as gentle as you would try to be! The swivel 180 degree is good.

This item is well made and easy to use Very good indeed

The adapter is very small and leaves almost no bulge or footprint on your laptop, went for this because I have a MacBook with a Wi-Fi issue and had to get an external adapter. After trying other models this is the one that worked perfectly for the MacBook and OS version I have. When using you just need to download the Driver and install it (had to use a USB Flash drive for that) and after it got installed the system detects it automatically and everything works smoothly.

ممتاز وعملي أكثر من سنة استخدام سهل التوصيل والتركيب قوي وثابت في الاشارة

Praticamente perfetto, montato l'antenna senza nemmeno avere istallato il cd di configurazione, ha trovato il router, ho messo la password e in tempo zero si è collegato, è velocissimo e per ora funziona benissimo.

Działa jak należy, to już mój trzeci T3U Plus, wcześniej kupowałem do innych urządzeń.

Hab es für die Arbeit gekauft (Werkstatt), ersetzt einen viel aufwändigeren Dongel der schon alt war. Wir hatten immer Probleme mit Software updates der Firma Würth, mit diesem WLan Stick geht es wunderbar und klappt jedesmal. Vor diesem stick hat jedes Update mehrere Versuche gebraucht, ging so weit das ich den rechner schon abgebaut und an den router direkt angeklemmt habe. Der Stick funktioniert super, der Empfang wird schwächer angezeigt als beim alten (Hatte 2 schöne hochragende Antennen hinterm Monitor). Der Speed ist schnell und Stabil. Dieser stick sitzt bei uns in einem Blechkasten mit dem Computer darin und einer schmalen Öffnung an der Front. Benutze damit oft Sunshine und Moonlight Video Stream um den PC von draussen zu bedienen, funktioniert wunderbar auch durch ein geschlossenes Blechtor in einem Auto, manchmal bricht es ab, dem Umständen entsprechend sehr verständlich (Mit offenem Tor gab es noch nie aussetzer). Der Stick muss viel für seinen Empfang tun und hat es echt nicht leicht, klappt aber ziemlich gut. Würde es wieder kaufen! Härtetest bei mir bestanden.
