Does not work on Linux
Apparently the V1 model of this WiFi card worked fine on Linux.
But I received the V2 (TL-WN722NV2) and it does not work at all. Tested on Ubuntu 17.04: no driver available.
So I will have to bring it back.

a little disappointed
works moderately on my fixed PC at only 50 Mbit/s but on a laptop it works very well so if you have a fixed PC take a cpl and connect by cable it will be more expensive but infinitely better.

Perfect
Works much better than all those PCI-e WiFi cards on Windows 10. This stick picks up very well where pci-e cards don't. No worries about installing this one, just plug it in and it works.

Super Wi-Fi key
Wanting to put my gamer PC on Wi-Fi for practical reasons, I turned to this key.
It is beautiful, sober, I did not encounter any particular problems, just at the beginning when I plugged it into my front USB ports it was not recognized, even after installing the drivers.
I decided to plug it into the rear USB ports (directly on the motherboard) and there no problem, recognized immediately and especially the signal is excellent (I am relatively far from my box).
I'm not sure what to do to check if the key works and is able to be recognised, but like me, I'd like to test it on a laptop with an integrated wifi card and if everything goes well, it works!Review automatically translated -

TP-LINK TL-WN722N V2 and Linux
? Linux users: beware ?
The product delivered is now in version 2 (FCC ID: TE7WN722NV2) and linux compatibility is taking a big hit. We go from a very good one, with the Atheros wifi chip of v1, to a mediocre/inexistent compatibility, for this v2 and its new Realtek chip.
Cf: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN722N_v2
This v2 is no longer plug-n-play for linux: you have to get your hands dirty.
TP-link offers linux drivers on its site but these do not compile:
http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WN722N.html#Driver
There is however a git repository for this driver: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
Using the dkms installation:
- Under Xubuntu 17.04, with a 3.16 kernel, it becomes functional. Compatibility remains limited, however. It is not usable with wavemon for example.
- Under Archlinux (kernel 4.10, KDE environment) it becomes visible with the "iwconfig" command but remains invisible/unusable in NetworkManager.
Also tested under Windows 7. It is functional once the drivers, provided on the CD, are installed.
Disappointed by this loss of compatibility, I keep it anyway, keeping a micro-hope of improvements for the next versions of the linux kernel and the driver itself.
So I'm back in search of a wifi USB key with interchangeable/removable antenna and better linux compatibility.
N.B : LDLC if you have a version 1 that is lying around in a drawer I'm interested without exchange ;)

Great!
Being quite far from my router when I work in my office, I had very little Wi-Fi reception. I didn't want a powerline or Wi-Fi repeater or to mess around with Ethernet cables.
The performance gain is really significant!

Use with aircrack-ng
The wifi chip is still an Atheros chip which is supported for all the advanced functions of the aircrack-ng software. Having the antenna removable also increases the range of the device, even making it directional. For this price, you can't beat it!

Perfect product
Purchased for better wifi range on a raspberry pi 3 Model B.
No compatibility issues, I didn't need the installation CD for the raspberry or even for a Windows 10 PC.
All in all, I highly recommend!Review automatically translated -

A bit temperamental
I have the same throughput (up/down and ping) on the PC equipped with it as on the laptop on the same desk. Very easy to install with the CD supplied, tested under windows 7 and windows 10.
I only put 4/5 however because each time the PC comes out of standby, the key does not reactivate, I have to unplug it and plug it back in to restart it.
It's perhaps a parameter of the PC's USB ports that needs to be adjusted, but it's still a bit annoying without being blocking. For the price, it's still an acceptable inconvenience.Review automatically translated -

Everything you need
Bought to back up a wired connection, after testing the speed is impeccable (802n standard) picks up very well and does not pick up in a very saturated environment in waves.
I've been using it for a while now and it's a great value for money.Review automatically translated -

Efficient and inexpensive
I need wifi temporarily on my desktop PC and given the price and reviews of this key I didn't hesitate.
I have been using it for a week now and I am very satisfied. I installed it on W7 in 2 minutes, the signal is good, 4/5 my box is located 10m downstairs and I take full advantage of my internet speed (1.8Mb/s). I'm very pleased with the quality of the service.
I'm not using it for file transfer so I can't tell you, anyway my BBox is not compatible with the latest Wifi standards so this 150Mbps key is fine.
Just a small design flaw for me, when you plug the stick into a USB port on your motherboard the antenna is pointing down. It would have been better if it was pointing upwards... Fortunately you can fold the antenna horizontally (as shown in the picture)
In short, buy it with your eyes closed!Review automatically translated
