TP-Link TL-WN725N (N150) WiFi 4 Nano USB Wireless Adapter

I have been using it for just over a month and it works great. Very low profile to plug into a laptop and you get great download and upload speeds with it - comparable to the onboard Wi-Fi card. Great replacement if your onboard Wi-Fi card starts failing and a lot cheaper in most instances.

This is version 1 of the TPLINK TL-WN725N, which means that you can't find drivers that work for it on Windows 10 32 or 64 bit. Sometimes it'll just connect miraculously, and other times it won't. Without support for any kind of drivers, or even utility software for windows 10 PCs, you're kind of just stuck with it not working if it decides to fail; and it decides to fail a lot of the time. When it works all on its own, its great. Good speed, good range, without being able to connect to 5G - or at least mine doesn't. I forget which radio signals work with what, but the 2.4G always works if it is able to connect.

TL;DR:
Pros:
Good speed

TL;DR:
Pros:
Good speed
Good range
Cheap as hell
Will sometimes work by itself
Very easy to add to a PC or laptop
Cons:
Fails to read WiFi signals from all radio types often
Won't connect to any 5G WiFi
Very unreliable
No drivers or utilities support for Windows 10

Wouldn't recommend unless it's your only option.

* When i bought the first one, after plugging in when i took out, the plastic cover came off while the usb stick still inside the usb port
* Had to take it back to center, who gave me a replacement & i mentioned the signal reception is not good enough but was told this is a pretty well running product and very commonly used so it should work \
* Plugged it again on the desktop but the signal strength was still not good for a small range within the small house/distance
* Eventually, had to run an ethernet cable underneath the floor & go through the hassle
* Stick is no longer in use
* Have used TPlink usb wifi stick before (when it used ...view more * When i bought the first one, after plugging in when i took out, the plastic cover came off while the usb stick still inside the usb port

* Have used TPlink usb wifi stick before (when it used to come in long white like a usb) & both the product quality & reception were good then

For its size, this nano wifi USB adapter does pretty well. For its size, this nano wifi USB adapter does pretty well.

Do not buy this! I installed the latest driver but it still won't pick up our 2.4ghz wifi. It will show our neighbour's connection but not ours. Going in the bin as ewaste. Do not buy this!

One of the fastest WiFi dongles I have used and I love the small size. Sometimes need to remove and plug back in when it stops working but that usually only happens when I turn on my PC One of the fastest WiFi dongles I have used and I love the small size.

Seamlessly worked with Ubuntu on my laptop (Asus Vivobook 14 X1404ZA 14" FHD which had an inbuilt wifi adapter that wouldn’t work with Linux). Seamlessly worked with Ubuntu on my laptop (Asus Vivobook 14 X1404ZA 14" FHD which had an inbuilt wifi adapter that wouldn’t work with Linux).
