1 out of 5 eggsAbsolutely will not work.

Pros: I'm sure this wireless adapter is great if you can actually get it to work.

Cons: I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but the installation software would not recognise that the adapter was plugged into any of the PCI-E ports. After spending hours following tips from other users online who had similar problems, downloading drivers, switching ports, etc, I was still unable to get it working at all. Will definitely not buy a TP-Link product again.

5 out of 5 eggsBought for a friend

Pros: Great range - His computer is in the basement and his wireless router is on the second floor

Cons: He hasn't told me anything yet will update if he does

Other Thoughts: I got it on sale which definitely made it worth the buy
Not much to say about WiFi receiver it's been two months and hasn't died so it did its job ( bought in Jan of 2016 )

4 out of 5 eggsDoing it's job with lots of use and never a glitch

Pros: Never a hiccup. Reliable and fast for my home network. Good price.

Cons: Signal strength is limited as compared to my other cards. I needed to add an external antenna, but now it's all full bars. About 20-30 ft from router.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat performance

Pros: - fast, low latency, stable connection
- 1ms latency to router from 10 ft away through a ceiling
- good value

Cons: - This isn't a con, but if you have to place this right below a graphics card, you may have an issue with it making contact with your graphics card's fans. I had this problem, but I was able to angle the adaptor downward a bit and lock it in place to avoid contact with the graphics card.

Other Thoughts: I do a lot of PC gaming. An ethernet connection is the best because it's the most stable, and you get 0-1ms latency between the PC and router. With my old usb wireless adaptor, these were my results from 'ping 192.168.0.1' in the terminal:

3ms
3ms
3ms
4ms
3ms
25ms
3ms
...
45ms
3ms
...

That is a very unstable connection. Latency is high for a connection 10-15ft away and those lag spikes will get you killed in games.

With this new TL-WDN4800 wireless adaptor, 'ping 192.168.0.1' gives me these results:

1ms
1ms
1ms
1ms
1ms
0ms
1ms
1ms

I never saw any lag spikes during this test, which shows the connection is very stable, and the latency is almost as low as an ethernet connection. Furthormore, I've tested this adaptor with about 50 hours of BF4 and never had a connection drop.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great, Improved Signal, Simple Installation

Pros: 2/27/16 Update:

Have had this adapter going on 3 years and never had any problems with it. In an upstairs bedroom through a couple of walls and a floor my connection stays pegged at 450mbps on the 5GHz band and never drops. I pay for a 60/10 service and Speedtest shows that I consistently get from 58.5 - 62.3 Mbps download. A while back I bought a NetGear AC1750 router and decided to upgrade this card to a TP-Link T8E and boy was I disappointed with that card. Within about 5 weeks it could never connect any better than about 230 and it would just start throttling back down sometimes to about 3.5Mbps! On a good day it might hang out most of the time at 87, though the minute I would do anything like go to a new page from my browser it would dip down to teens and below. I finally pulled the card and reinstalled this one and am back at a solid 450Mbps that doesn't throttle back. TP-Link support said they would RMA it, but I am still waiting on that. The reason why I got the T8E was to get higher speeds and also that this card is at the end of its life cycle and may not be supported with Win 10. I am currently at Win 7 but will be upgrading before the July cutoff. I have bought several TP-Link adapters over the years and the T8E was the only one that didn't perform well and I am hoping that the replacement will work as it should.

This is an excellent card and if there are drivers for Windows 10 then the only reason to replace it would be for a faster card, hopefully one that works as good as this one.

Bought this to replace an older card that would never get me more than 3 bars on the second floor and was causing periodic delays. Installation couldn't have been easier in Window 7 64bit. I loaded the driver and set up the security and now it connects with 5 bars and those "delays" have cleared up.

It has been less than a week but it has worked extremely well. The newest driver for this card on their website is from 2011, though that doesn't matter since it works. Overall it seems well worth the price.

Cons: None, this card is still going strong after almost 3 years in service.

Other Thoughts: So far it has been great and has worked perfectly without a hitch. Re-ccnnection to the network whenever the PC is waking up is less than half the time that my old card was taking.

I don't have a Dual Band N router so I cannot say anything about that, but it is working fine with my old trusty WRT-54GL.
