User questions & answers

Question:	It says hardware interface usb, usb 2.0. is it also compatible with usb
Answer:	this is backward compatible with 802.11g routers.
Question:	Mine failed after 6 weeks. For how long have you had it
Answer:	No, you would need either a bluetooth dongle/card to perform this function. This card enables your computer to connect to a wireless network.
Question:	Would this speed up an old dell desktop with slow built in wifi
Answer:	yes,pci e x1
Question:	Will this work on a Chromebook? Built-in Chromebook wireless is awful
Answer:	Here is a possible solution from the reviews of the next level up card:This review is from: TP-Link AC1900 Wireless Dual Band PCI-Express Adapter with Beamforming Technology (Archer T9E) (Personal Computers) I love the card, no issues and works great on Windows 10. This gave me a tremendous network and internet download speed increase over the internal Broadcom wireless chip on my HP Envy (mfg date Jun'15). My only complaint is that the documentation was insufficient in how to install the drivers, the key solution as follows:1. Install card (the easy part!)2. Download Windows 10 driver from TP-link site (under Support, Archer T9E, Windows 10 driver) -- this is a zipped file and unpacks to a SETUP application file. You run it and it says the driver is installed --- but really nothing happens, DM says there is no driver... Why? Because you MUST DISABLE the existing Network Interface Device first! Once you do this (then reboot) the Setup runs perfectly and all is well. Root Cause: What happens on Windows 10 system is that the new NIC is created as a Network Controller device, not under NETWORK ADAPTER as is should be (note, it didn't do this on my Windows 7 system). Once the existing adapter was disabled, Windows 10 created the new NIC card under Network Adapter and the Setup utility from TP-Link Driver download ran correctly... it took me over an hour to realize this issue, documentation was bare-bones 1-page sheet and didn't say anything about this. More accurate and precise documentation would have avoided this issue and saved me time/frustration. So I knocked off one star for this.

User questions & answers

Question:	windows 10 drivers laggy. Do I really need the realtek drivers or is the windows one just as fast
Answer:	Well i can tell you that this antenna does not need a driver from the manufacturer, Windows 10 provides a universal driver for it.
Question:	Does this come with link to download drivers? I have mac and can't use mini cd
Answer:	I had the same problem. They provided a link to download the drivers, which I did. I installed them on my MacBook Pro and attempted to restart as prompted. My trusty Mac refused to restart even in "safe mode". Tried rebooting in recovery mode and again, would not boot up. I ended up reinstalling my entire drive from a back up drive. Total time wasted=5 hours and I sent this back for a refund. Don't bother wasting your money if you have a Mac, it will only cause you grief.
Question:	im confused is this a device that will allow a non wifi laptop/desktop to have wifi? can i use it simply as a booster for my wifi enabled laptop
Answer:	To be technical this creates another network adapter for your computer/laptop. It can NOT be used as a booster for range with an existing wireless adapter. It might get better range than your current adapter. But it will not supplement it at all. Completely separate device from any other network adapter (wired or wireless).
Question:	Success installing drivers on Linux
Answer:	Hey guys, I'm able to have it working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I did follow the dkms solution posted by the other user; the script ran into an error, that's when I noticed the shell script requires a manual edit to edit out the version number for the driver's directory, once that's done the shell script ran just fine. Also, I had this adapter plugged into a USB 2.0 port, and the wifi would not accept the password; once I plug it into a USB 3.0 port (duh, lol) the wifi accepted the password and working just fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this adapter support master mode in Kali Linux? IE: Monitor Mode, Packet Injection, AP mode, etc
Answer:	I have Windows 10 and received a version 1 (V1) adapter from Amazon. The TP-Link driver downloads do not offer a Windows 10 download for V1; however, there is a Windows 10 download for V2 and V3. I tried to install the V2 and V3 driver anyway, and although it installed, I only get 2-5Mbs down and about 4-5Mbs up. Same speeds for what Windows 10 auto detects and installs as Realtek RTL8188EU. I am in an adjacent room to my wireless router, through one wall and about 15 feet away. I have no idea why Amazon would still ship hardware that is not compatible with Windows 10. I’m only out a few bucks, so no big loss other than it being a hassle.
Question:	do i need any special cables for this to be able to connect to a desktop computer
Answer:	If you want this to work with a raspberry pi, use this link. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=62371&sid=8b78a7e30c4190fad8241b2
Question:	does it come with all the cables
Answer:	I'm about 5 years behind this question and the comments :), but I can tell you that I have a 17.5" Acer 1TB laptop that is less than 18 months old, and I called to have my wireless modem replaced by Xfinity because I was only getting download speeds of about 100 - 112 when my service is supposed to deliver 250+ Mbps. But when we checked my cell phone, it showed 300 Mbps from the same router, and the tech said that my wireless card in this laptop cannot accomodate more than the 112 Mbps I've been getting! He said he's seen brand new high-end laptops with wireless cards that can't detect of connect with a 5G network like Xfinity's is. Maybe because of cost and the fact that probably a large % of people don't have service faster that 100 Mbps or so. So I haven't tried one yet, but most are in the $16 - $19 range. The top-rated (4,300 reviews averaging 4+ stars) is about $37, and that gets you 1,600 Mbps!! Hope this helps....
Question:	Does it work on xbox
Answer:	I don't know but I just bought this and it worked out of the box for Ubuntu 18.04 running kernel 5.4.0. "lsusb" describes it as "Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter". The kernel module used is r8188eu, which comes with linux-modules-extra.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with Windows
Answer:	I don't know but i got rid of the orbis and went to amplifi hd. The orbis automatically update firmware and were nothing but headaches. The amplifi hds work perfectly.
Question:	Is this a good option for the Raspberry Pi B+ model
Answer:	Yes this will work on dsl, however don’t expect good speeds as you are limited by the bandwidth of dsl. As for a modem you will have to ask you isp for a compatible list.
Question:	What is this for? Why would one need it if their laptop already does wifi
Answer:	Both systems are fine for a small office. I have the orbi pro and I installed one for our local Moose Organization. They work great. However, the Orbi wifi 6 utilizes WIFI 6 Technology which is 4x faster. I also believe the Orbi Wifi 6 system has a longer range of coverage for 5000 feet of coverage.
Question:	Does anyone know if this works with ubuntu
Answer:	We use this for our church and it consists of 3 detached buildings. The main building we use streaming, etc. So far so good. The only problem with such distance is if multiple users sign on may freeze.

User questions & answers

Question:	While it sees my 5ghz network, it refuses to connect to it. it only connects to the 2.4ghz one. why? i'm using the latest realtek drivers
Answer:	The short answer is that 2.4 GHz will generally register as having better signal strength compared to 5GHz. Windows tends to prefer this, and most consumer routers won't signal the endpoint to switch to 5GHz. You can fix this by going to the advanced adapter properties, and seeing if you can set it to "Prefer 5GHz". Alternatively, the WiFi Mode setting can be set to a set that excludes 2.4GHz like 802.11 a/c/n/ac.
Question:	What benefit for dual 5dbi wifi antenna,and what's the difference with one antenna wifi adapter
Answer:	If near router,it is nearly same as one antenna,but if your usb adapter is far router such as on upstairs/basement.it signal is also very good .so this is two wifi antenna benefit.
Question:	If I don’t already have a Wi-Fi card in my pc will this still work

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have beam forming technology
Answer:	This device is compatible with anything that has a usb port to plug it into and an active wifi connection. It was produced in 2012 and has to be able to upload the driver to your device either through a cd ( provided) or a search engine. I'm no ps4 expert but if your game meets these requirements it should work but it's not really plug and play. It will need configuring once it is set up. I have all new equipment and still never made this work real well for me. I haven't spent much time on it though. Results are different for others depending on the device and the wifi connection. The price is right but just keep in mind that the technology is 8 years old and will require some patience to set it up
Question:	Can i connect this to a usb 2.0 port on my laptop to get gigabit internet wifi speeds as i have gigabit internet at my home
Answer:	Hi, not sure about the 360. Though not apples-to-apples, I tried this on our Xbox One S for you (unplugging the LAN and trying to get the external wifi adapter to activate rather than built-in console wifi) and the One S did not recognize the adapter at all. You may be better off buying a wifi range extender than includes a LAN port so you can connect your wifi to the extender then run the ethernet cable from the extender to your xbox 360.
Question:	Will this work for consoles like ps4 or xbox
Answer:	Linux drivers (tar.gz source) are provided on a disc that comes with the adapter so you may have luck. Did not work for me for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS possibly due to the documentation that comes with the driver stating the driver was only tested/confirmed working with Linux Kernel up to 4.8 and my Kernel is newer than that.
Question:	I have a upstairs room that is far enough away that I can not pick up my wifi. Would this help in getting me connected
Answer:	No

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used for a home surveillance camera system
Answer:	I really don't know as of yet if this device does that or not. I run Linux (Debian 8.6, Linux Mint 18, 17.3, forget Ubuntu-I found too much spyware in that coupled with a wincrap laptop here somewhere) myself and just had not the time to mess with it on these features. It does work well on Linux under Ndiswrapper though I know I can do better with my own driver soon. Just had surgery on my eyes so give me a few weeks as they heal but you can contact me at Kstein_8551 at Yahoo.com. That is the public email address I use mostly. Another winmodem that does well with what you want is Netgear 6210 (1900-3.0usb) but you will have to download the chip source and make the driver for it. Not the netgear one. I just searched Duckduckgo for the chipset ID from lsusb command to get the chipset code. Leave a message if need some help, or wait a few weeks and I should have a nice Linux driver soon.K SteinmanP.S If your going to try under Ndiswrapper make sure you disable bcm43xx, bcm43, and ssd in etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as they will interfere with that modem pretty bad.Like I said I haven't really put this thing through it's paces yet but is very fast and reliable and I pick up neighbors wifi over a mile away. I like it...it's a monster..
Question:	What is the latency like using this product
Answer:	Standard usb cable, which I think is included.
Question:	my adapter disconnects and re connects over and over again. Do I have a defective adapter
Answer:	It comes with a 42" cable that has a USB A male connector on one end to plug into the computer. A USB 3.0 Micro B male connector is on the other end to connect to the TRENDnet device.
Question:	How do you install the driver for this on Linux Mint/Ubuntu
Answer:	It's a switch, so it will work for any Ethernet compatible device, including an Xbox, PlayStation, smart Blu Ray player, etc.
