I chose this product because it was well rated, inexpensive, had modern Wifi protocols and was backwards compatible.
In reality, it picks up my access point which is next door, but that's all. The various access points in the neighbourhood aren't even seen.
Does its job, but forget the range.
The product is perfect, you plug it in and it works.
Sent very quickly.
The only downside was that it was totally over-packaged, the basic box was 10x8cm, all in a card 4x bigger, which was crazy.
The key was delivered very quickly, but the installation is more difficult if you are running Linux.
To make this key work under ubuntu 20.04 64bits, I used the following tuto
https://ostechnix.com/install-tp-link-ac600-archer-t2u-nano-wifi-usb-adapter-in-linux/
either :
sudo apt install dkms git build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au/
$ sudo make dkms_install
sudo dkms status
It works very well, and the setting is done naturally. Immediately recognized under WIN 10. More than comfortable speeds and good sensitivity for the size of the device
I recommend it
A dongle that will serve well for an old laptop or fixed PC to be equipped with a correct wifi for daily use. But as far as the signal is concerned, the size without a long antenna obviously means that there will be no miracle. For a house with load-bearing walls, etc. you will have to choose a card with an external antenna.
Replaces WiFi access point repeaters. No more settings, no more extended networks. Happiness
Small size but very easy to install and above all very efficient
The right choice
Very good packaging, takes up very little space, small green LED very well made.
Apart from the visual aspect, which is very well done, I get quite frequent signal fluctuations, and I CLEARLY can't reach the data rate communicated by the provider (total data rate up to 600 Mbps, with 200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 433 Mbps on 5 GHz).
Apart from that all other technical information is correct and valid.
Despite this little black spot in terms of speed (more present on 5GHz than on 2.4GHz) I strongly recommend this product, which remains one of the best WIFI keys I have had the opportunity to test.
