TP-Link TL-WN823N Mini USB WiFi Adapter for PC, USB WiFi Dongle for PC, Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP, Mac OS, Linux, SoftAP Mode, Mini-sized Design & Portable, Easy Setup, HD Video/Gaming/Streaming

Small enough that you can leave it in a USB port permanently without it sticking out and snagging anything. Setup on Windows 11 was completely automatic. Plugged in, recognised, online within a minute. Speeds are perfectly adequate for streaming and video calls in a normal-sized home. TP-Link have always been reliable for this kind of network kit and this is no exception. Sensible buy.

Worked as a plug and play device straight. out of the box on 26.04 LTS. Works as well as the PCI card that it replaced ever did.

This little thing is awesome! It really, really works like mad. ** I get constant download speeds of 12Mbps+, which is close the the max of my internet bandwidth. - It's very cheap cost-wise for the great performance it gives you - It's small(ish), though it will look big connected to your laptop - Comes with a 3' USB extension cable which I definitely recommend using. It helps position the device, and keeps it from crowding your laptop or from being destroyed by being knocked out of your PC's front USB port. - Has a diffused green LED under the white plastic to let you know it's working, instead of the blinding blue LEDs that everyone uses these days. The light turns off when it's not powered (like when you hit Standby on your PC). NOTE: It's still annoying in a dark room when I'm trying to sleep, but a few post-it notes helps that. - The software is relatively simple to install and use, and allows you to use other products to manage your WiFi instead. - The current driver, software, and documents come on a mini CD and are all up to date with what's available on TP-Link's web site - The documentation is good, but it could use some more detail.

I really loved the USB. It didn't work on my Windows 7 PC. But it did work with my Windows 11 one. It was the best service. Thank you so much for the service

Slightly disappointed with this. It works and gives me wifi, although it often drops out. Switched to a competitor which had the same item at a similar price and it's been far more reliable.

I purchased this dongle specifically for my spare PC for Windows 7 as another brand dongle did not work, it came in a nice package box with a installation CD, the application was easy to install. My old PC was revived and I found that worked as well with a browser called Supermium, allowing Google and most application to run smoothly.

Although I had high hopes for this dongle saving me from the laborious task of hard wiring a connection some 20 feet to my Hub, those hopes were rapidly shattered within 5 minutes of setting the device up. There was a brief moment initially when first plugged in, when the internet icon lit up on my PC taskbar and it was possible to trigger my browser; however that lasted all of 10 seconds before the whole set-up collapsed like a house of cards and I was internet-less once again. Although the device comes with a cd containing the associated driver, it soon became apparent that I would have had just as much success in getting this to connect, had I used a greatest hits compilation from my aging cd collection. There’s even a tiny WPS button on the dongle which you can press to enable a connection, however, my much awaited connection failed to materialise. I tried various combinations of setting this dongle up stopping just short of standing on my head and whistling ‘Dixie’ while plugging it in with my left hand but all to no avail so I’m not too sure where the 300Mbs claim comes into it as I was struggling to get 3. For what it’s worth, I was using Windows 10 and was some 20 feet from the main Hub. This one is about to be returned and I’ll have another look around the amazon marketplace for something a bit more substantial.

Received quickly by post, well packaged. Came with a mini CD with installation software although the device didn't seem to need it as it immediately began working when plugged it. It would be worth checking if your router supports 5 GHz as it might be worth investing in the £14.95 5 GHz AC version of this USB Adaptor (with caveats). My speeds average out around 62 Mbps, I crossed referenced this with my phone and my phone had the same speed on the 2 GHz band, so it is performing as intended. I currently have a 200 Mbps subscription, on the 5 GHz band using my phone (S6 Edge) I was getting around 160 Mbps. You might be wondering then why I didn't go the the 5 GHz version, my reasons for this are that 5 GHz typically seems to have poorer signal quality over distance and lower penetration through certain materials, I live in an post war house that has a lot of steel beams through the structure and my 5 GHz signal, although faster tends to be less reliable and weaker. In summary I would say the best option for someone in my position would be to go for the 2.4 GHz version, if however you're router will be in the same room as your computer or perhaps only on the other side of a stud wall, go for the 5 GHz. I have had this adaptor for a while now and performance has been superb, the signal has not dropped at all since I got it. For the record I am using Windows 8. Great price for a quality product from a trusted brand.

Good Working for desktop

Fungerar perfekt!

I bought a 2nd hand desktop PC but discovered it had no internal wifi. I bought the TP Link TL-WN823N 300Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter and connected it to my Desktop PC. I installed the drivers with the C.D included. Setup was easy and it worked first time. I am using my smartphone as a wifi hotspot to this wifi adapter and it works perfectly. The internet speed is fast and i can watch Youtube videos with no issues. Highly recommend this wifi adapter if your PC does not have wifi or your wifi card is not working.

Super handig in gebruik.. in mijn computer plug & play. Accepteer het device. Gelijk werkt mijn internet verbinding..streaming is top voor normaal gebruik pc gebruik.. zeer blij mee!

Awesome for the price, works perfectly. Will purchase again if needed.
