Review: Excellent value and top performance. - Best WiFi dongle ever. Perfect for home or small office. The speed and range are outstanding. Very easy to set up and even look good. Money well spent.
Review: Works as it says 100x my speed - Perfect. Easy plug in , click a file to install and it’s done. I’m using an old PC in a room that’s far away from the router. So as it’s an old WiFi card, the signal and speed was rubbish, between 5-20mbps. Sometimes slower. This WiFi dongle is amazing. I’m now getting over 300mbps from my Gig broadband. And I don’t even have a usb 3 port in this PC. So I can imagine it would be even faster if I did. Would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value - But Weak Signal
*by S***F on 24 April 2013*

I purchased this mini-pci card to set up Wi-Fi signal in my flat. The card is so tiny that even when it's plugged in right next to my graphics card, it doesn't block the fan. The included antenna is really tiny though. The card itself doesn't produce much of a signal so you get 1 bar of signal where another Wi-Fi card I have will get full bars. However, this card does work well and is a good value for money. Installation into windows 7 x64 was flawless. This card is Rev. 2 so perhaps some of the other bad reviews were for Rev. 1? The drivers on the mini cd are exactly the same as the ones you can download so everything is up to date. I recommend that when you install the drivers that you select "use windows to manage connections" because if you don't then the TP-Link seems to reset everything to it's own settings. This card doesn't drop signals like some other cards I've owned so it will be useful for those who are playing games. I ordered an additional antenna. The "TP-Link TL-ANT2405C 2.4GHz 5dbi Indoor Omni-Directional Antenna," which has a 2 meter cable and boosts the signal up to 4 bars. [link below]. I highly recommend this antenna as it's under a fiver shipped. It really high quality, does exactly what it claims to do and has a coated magnet in the base so it sticks tightly to the top of my computer case. You could spend the £15 on a more expensive card but it's not going to work any better than this card plus the antenna would still be tethered to the back of the card which gets in the way of the DVI cable and being hidden away in the back always diminishes the signal strength. Otherwise except for a few minor drawbacks, I'm very happy with my purchase all around and I recommend this if you're on a tight budget.
