Question 9

How does one make the original setup to ensure the 433Mbps instead if 150 on the 5Ghz?  I'm using the AC on an N wireless modem and a 2.0 USB not 3.

Accepted Answer

The TP-Link comes with software that gives you options that let you toggle speed. The 3.0 USB is down scalable automatically to 2.0 USB you just won't have the enhanced speed USB 3.0 offers. On my Lenovo Thinkpad (64Bit, running Windows 7 Professional) Windows recognized the link with the resident software imbedded in Windows 7. It ran well and I was able to reload the drivers that had gotten corrupted on my laptop so my onboard WI-FI radio began working again.
