TP-LINK TL-WDN3200 Dual Band Wireless N600 USB Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps/5GHz 300Mbps, w/WPS Button, IEEE 802.1a/b/g/n, WEP/WPA/WPA2 TP-LINK TL-WDN3200 Dual Band Wireless N600 USB Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps/5GHz 300Mbps, w/WPS Button, IEEE 802.1a/b/g/n, WEP/WPA/WPA2

Pros: It picks up my WNDRv300 pretty good. My router maximum speed is 260mbps and it picks up about 243 mbps.

It takes over the LAN and make the internet speed a lot faster than usual. It has it's own program and it even picks up wifi from printers...

Cons: None so far

Pros: Fast Shipping. Arrived intact and working. Worked very well in W-7, Linux Mint 64-Bit, Not so much! Worked in 32-Bit Linux with NDIS Wrapper Tool though. Good price! Newegg is my "Go To" for hardware.

Cons: No Cons on this one for me, although I was a bit dissapointed that it wouldn't work in 64-Bit Linux right now.

Pros: Very sensitive, good range.

Cons: You will need to do some extra work to use this with Linux OS.

Other Thoughts: I had an earlier version of this dongle to use with a crummy Asus netbook in which the built-in wifi was flaky at best. It worked really well, and when I broke it I bought another as a replacement. The older version connected on a Linux OS (Ubuntu 11.04) right out of the box, but this one requires that you download and install a driver. Instructions to do this can be found here: http://www.ctheroux.com/category/linux/
If you download the edited version of the driver provided by the author at this link you won't have to edit any of the files.

Pros: Cheap. Picks up my 5Ghz router better then my android phone.

Cons: Windows 7 can not find a driver for it by itself.

Other Thoughts: Utility is a waste don't install it just the driver is needed.

Pros: Economical, nice looking and practical when used with accessory stand

Cons: Constantly drops connections...other computers in home office with different wireless hardware do not.

Other Thoughts: Been buying from Newegg for years and years; this is the first product I'm going to toss in the circular file--it's not even worth the effort to send back. The replacement will be a wireless card.

Pros: Windows 8 plug and play. Excellent range. Supports N routers. Configurable. Linux Plug and play. Fast

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Paired it with a TP Link Router and it works excellent. Streams Netflix with no issues at all. Ubuntu and Mint load it fine with same results as W8.

Pros: Affordable
Easy to install
Good signal strength on 2.4 GHz N

Cons: Wireless Adapter worked fine for 8 days then all of a sudden the software could not detect the USB wireless adapter. Reinstalled software on the PC and did not fix the issue of it being detected and tried on my netbook and both time I tried to get it to work again it said that the wireless adapter could not be detected when plugged into the USB 2.0 port. The TP-Link TL-WDN3200 wireless adapter was junk after 8 days of using it.

Other Thoughts: I bought at a local computer retailer for less and ended up returning. I have a TP-Link dual band wireless router that I have owned for three weeks and I have had no issue with that device.

Pros: 300mbps dual channel usb client. Neat and easy to set up. Good software utility, tremendous value.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Other Thoughts: Maximum speed I could get from my router and this client was 124mbps at 6ft from the router. This is actually a tremendous result. No complaints. If you need a N600 client then look no further as this is cheap and does what is says on the box, however don't be naive enough to imagine that you will get even close to the 300mbps promised. Unfortunately this is just theoretical pie in the sky. At 35ft throughput drops to around 24mbps. Network was a little inconsistent but I put this down to my router and not the client. Much recommended.

Pros: Very Strong signal and small adapter. My laptop had really weak signal so I got the TL-WDN3200 and it gave me great signal with no lag!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I had to review this product, it made my internet surfing so much better.

Pros: Works well on 2.4ghz or 5ghz bands. inexpensive.

Cons: none really
