What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Used to replace a failed wifi card on an old macbook. Beats having a built in wi-fi card any day. Wifi range isn't great, but it's a module without an antenna so that's normal.
Works with mac, windows & linux. You just plug it in to the usb port, the program downloads itself. Pre-installed the drivers before plugging it in. Am using this on a windows 11 desktop pc.
Cons
Device is barely usable for anything and definitely not usable for gaming. Driver problems with latest windows. Doesn't work with any other tp-link router.
Best avoided. Won't buy anything branded tp-link from now on. Unbelievably poor product.
When downloading the dongle randomly disconnects. Keeps disconnecting every few minutes without any reason. Not worth the bother to troubleshoot every time.

I recently upgraded from 30mb fiber to the cabinet (fttc) to 500mb fiber to the property (fttp).
For people struggling to connect to 5ghz open your device manager, find this, properties, advanced and where it says 2.

Tried a network reset but this didnt fix it so it is likely the problem is with the network card which is presumably part of the motherboard these days
