Tiny Plig, Huge Swagger
This little gold nugget strutted into my USB port like it owned the motherboard. My PC, previously more offline than a hermit in a forest, suddenly discovered the wonders of the internet. I half expected it to start shopping for itself.Installation was smoother than a jazz sax solo — plug it in, and bam, WiFi. It’s so small, I’ve lost it twice and considered putting a GPS tracker on it.Only does 2.4GHz, but hey, so do pigeons, and they get around just fine. For ten bucks, this thing made my PC go from Amish to Elon Musk in under five minutes. 10/10, would buy again if I could find the one I ready bought.

Easy and Quick Installation
It’s a really small but sturdy USB stick that just barely pokes out of the back of my PC, which is an old Lenovo M920s small form factor computer that didn’t bring a WiFi card. It doesn’t support Bluetooth, which was expected since it’s not mentioned anywhere. I’ve only used it a bit so far in order to run updates on my PC, so I can’t really talk too much about it, but it seems to have a strong enough WiFi connection - it hasn’t disconnected randomly or anything yet.For the drivers, it brought a CD disk you can use. However, the instructions also give you a website to go to in order to look them up. It seemed to be well organized and it was easy to find the drivers just by looking up the model of this USB stick. It was just a matter of downloading the drivers on my phone and passing the files onto another USB stick to then plug into my PC. It really only took like 5 minutes.

Highly recommended
Wi-Fi dongle work perfectly. If you use desktop and work and the internet is down this Wi-Fi dongle is for you because you can use your mobile hotspot with the Wi-Fi dongle on your desktop.

Muy Sencillo y de poca velocidad !!!
Sencillo, facil de instalar. Puede mejorar las velocidades pero se que es algo para salir del paso. No lo recomiendo para usar como coneccion principal. Debes usarlo solamente para una segunda opcion. Si es para algo principal recomiendo comprar un PCIe o un USB de mas potential.

Supports Wi-Fi direct and Miracast.
Works great. I needed to buy a Microsoft tested Wi-Fi adapter that also supported Wi-Fi direct and Miracast. Plug it into my PC and without a hitch, started right up and did its thing. All I had to do was just enter the password to my SSID. And all of my Miracast options and settings became operational on my windows 11 machine!

worked for 1.5 years, broke, wasted 6 hrs on horrible support team trying to avoid RMA
short version: the RMA process makes you waste hours talking with an incompetent support agent so you'll give up. I bet this review gets the same cut/paste "check your drivers" reply as all the other bad reviews. If we knew when we started trying to get an RMA how many hours we'd waste, I would have just bought one from Plugable and thrown the tp-link one out.long version:The wireless card in my wife's Surface Pro 3 died, so I bought this to replace it because of the 2 year warranty. However after a year and a half, it would only work half the time. No software or driver changes were made, not a single other device in the house has issues, there's been no interference from the neighbors, and our router has always been insanely reliable; this was definitely a hardware issue with the product. She borrowed another wifi dongle so she could get online to chat with a support rep about getting a replacement, but the rep kept wanting to re-do diagnostics that were already done, and couldn't understand that if she unplugged the working borrowed dongle to put back the failing TP-Link one they'd be disconnected (a Surface Pro only has 1 USB port), nor could the rep understand it wasn't a driver issue. She was forced to disconnect and start a new chat later from her phone (obviously much harder to type on). The chat agents kept asking questions that she already had to answer in the form to start a chat, so clearly the support company can't even set up their own software correctly. The support agent was also extremely slow to respond, didn't always use clear English, and frequently transferred her. Eventually they insisted on being sent a picture of the computer, but the chat program didn't actually have an option to send pictures. After being told this, the chat agent took several minutes to respond with a picture pointing to a button that doesn't exist saying "use this to send pictures". After being informed (again) that no such button existed, agent sent the exact same picture. The most insulting part is the agent kept saying "I understand..." when clearly they didn't. Finally we got them to let us list all the troubleshooting steps that proved this product was defective, then they forced us to try various increasingly silly ways to "fix" the issue, all clearly indicating that the agent didn't actually understand networking diagnostic (I am a web programmer who's been building and maintaining my own computers for over a decade, trust me when I say these steps were absolutely unnecessary for proving that the product was defective)The support agent was regularly so slow to respond (more than 5 minutes, sometimes more than 10) that WE got a message saying we'd be disconnected if we didn't reply (while waiting for the agent to answer the last thing we said). Over an hour of slow replies later, the agent starts again asking for photos and things that we already stated we tried and we had to give up and disconnect. No matter how many times we said "we already tried that, as I told you" they just kept asking the same questions. Total time wasted so far was about 4 hours.A few hours later they finally agreed to do an RMA but they refuse to pay shipping on the defective part or let us throw it out, so we have to spend almost as much as it would cost to buy a new one just to send the broken one back. At this point we regret ever trying to get them to honor the warranty because of how much time it wasted, but also figured we might as well finish the process up so we at least get the replacement part for all our hassle. after mailing the defective one, we finally got a replacement a couple weeks later. SO far that's been in use for a little over a month, we'll see how long it lasts.Next time I'll buy from Plugable instead, as they state their support is based in Seattle and from what I've read they don't hassle customers nearly as much about replacement of a defective product. I will never buy a product from TP-Link again, unless perhaps a more skilled support agent sees this review, profusely apologizes, and sends out a more reliable model to compensate us for all the lost time. I'm guessing the reply my review will actually get is the same cut & paste "check your drivers, sometimes interference happens, our support team would love to hear from you" response as the other bad reviews.
