This review is from: TP-LINK TL-WN822N Wireless N300 High Gain USB Adapter, 300 Mbps, Dual 3dBi External Antennas, w/ WPS Button, IEEE 802.1b/g/n, WEP / WPA / WPA2, Plug & Play in Windows 10 (32 bit & 64 bit)

Pros:

-Amazing range
-Solid connections
-Creates more of a WiFi "bubble" compared to a beacon shape like a lighthouse light (as larger antennas do)
-Fast connection @ 270 Mbps internally (on a constant basis - used driver only not entire suite)
-Connects through old walls that other adapters typically do not - And is STILL much faster than others

Cons:

-ONLY 2.4 GHz band
-I prefer black, but the color of the green light bothers me more (green and white don't match any of my other pieces - but this was the only option)
-I wish that I was able to secure an original v1 or older version that supports packet injection - as this would be an amazing adapter for pentesting *(the v1 can, although v2 and v3 do not - Not 100% sure.. v2 might support, but I have received the version that does not)

Overall Review:

I like that this can be positioned in many different manners w/o affecting the signal much. As I mentioned, it is more of a bubble of broadcast, rather than a beacon from a lighthouse. So those who have the injection-capable version are lucky... it is a great adapter, but I purchased this over a year ago and received the non-injection model. So I doubt that the injection-capable version will be available on many sites that do not list it specifically.

Overall, an amazing adapter for wireless N... I would definitely suggest others purchase this adapter if they are in the market for a strong, fast 2.4 GHz connection via WiFi. And just to mention, the version I received was capable of usage in Linux with a simple update command. In case anyone intends to use for Linux (Kali, Ubuntu, etc.)
