Great!
I was having problems with my PLC disconnecting at every turn, and having changed my router configuration, I switched to wi-fi for my main computer. The speed is only slightly slower and my connection is stable§
Installed in 2 minutes, everything works great.Review automatically translated -

Wifi usb key
I am very happy with this product. As soon as I plugged it into my PC running Windows 11, the key enabled me to connect to the Internet without any installation whatsoever. I've been using it for 2 months. Works very well.

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 -

Windob only
This is v2, if you want to use it on linux, NOP.
But it works very well on windob 10.

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.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 -
