TP-Link AX1800 WiFi 6 USB Adapter for Desktop PC (Archer TX21UH) Wireless Network Adapter with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, High Gain Dual Band 5dBi Antenna, WPA3, Supports Windows 11/10

Check the box/container label for Version Number as there are 2 versions 1.0 or 1.6 If you remove/uninstall the Driver just go to the TP-Link website to download and reinstall. the Extension antenna is made of thin and lightweight plastic which can easily break. Construction of the device could have used a more rigid enclosure as if stepped on will be crushed. It may take a few extra seconds to connect to your Wi-Fi signal while the PC is first turned on. I don't use the mount/stand as the AX1800 USB adapter is plugged into the rear USB 3.0 port on my desktop. For me , it just one less wire and an item I don't have to fidget with. Wi-Fi 7 should be incoming by 2026 or start to become more popular. Hopefully 6G will become available to replace 5G permitting Wi-Fi 7 to take advantage of better transfer of data. Depending on your Internet Provider and Data Speed if under 800Mbps then Wi-Fi 5 is the most you will need. As Wi-Fi 6 is up to 1.2Gbps and provides new security feature WPA-3. The TP-Link AX1800 (Archer TX21UH) adapter performs well and highly recommended for those with very fast internet speeds up to 1.2Gbps. Bought mine while discounted for the holiday season and it's worth it.

Bought this because my WiFi driver corrupted. Plugged this in, downloaded the driver and was able to connect to the WiFi router effortlessly! Was concerned about printer not connecting to computer but that was not an issue. Printed on first try. Would recommend and buy again!

Unit came in, tested it, worked fine on my desktop PC that lacked integrated WiFi, to use with my Starlink (Floridian, storms take out both power and cable regularly). After satisifed that it would work, I stored it for several months, in a secure drawer indoors in my climate controlled house. Had a cable outage, so deployed my Starlink during a cable outage and it was dead, Jim. No power at all, in the cradle or direct to any number of USB ports, including on a laptop.

Overall the download speed is great and it is a lot better than my laptop's wifi card however the ping is inconsistent. It also has a problem of randomly disconnecting and reconnecting with seemingly no cause. Good for downloads/steaming but for low ping I wouldn't buy it.

Works great!

The TP-Link network adaptor is plugged into a recently revived HP quad core that for a long time wouldn't talk to the Internet via any method (a software problem). After finally loading a Windows update into an external drive and loading into the old machine, lo and behold, it talks to the world again. Rather than rearrange my office to run an ethernet cable I picked up the TP-Link and it's working fine (I prefer my desktop computers to be hardwired, but in this instance, that was more work than it's worth.)

I bought this because my home offi e is about 40 feet from my router. I often have my internet tv on at the same time so I did not want either bogged down.These are my results from my latest speed test. Sure speeds up my 15 year old computers... Very happy I purchased this product
