Been looking for a way to get better connection. Signal from my router to my computer is garbage and i cant move the router so im hoping i can increase connection. Any idea between floor and about 30ft woth walls as well

@FixMyBleep 3 ай бұрын

Is there any way you can add a 2nd router, or do you have any network cabling at all close to where your computer is located? That may be an option I've seen done when all else fails if you just can't get a signal to reach or if there is no way to fish another cable through a ceiling or into a wall closer to the computer.

@FixMyBleep 2 ай бұрын

Yes, this device is made for a PC that is too far away to be plugged into a network cable, or that doesn't have a network jack nearby. You just plug in this USB (Wireless Adapter) and it will connect to your wireless router. If you are currently plugged into a network connection, you shouldn't need this however.

@nsoutlawball1941 5 ай бұрын

Any idea how this compares to the AC1300 T3U Nano? The short version is better if you move your PC around because it won't get snapped off, but I'm thinking this version is bigger for a reason, probably better signal reception through floor/wall.

@FixMyBleep 5 ай бұрын

I've heard this has slightly better range, but I have not had the chance to test it against the other one. Typically the larger one means more antenna but that's not always the case.

any problem or conflict with the wifi from the computer? the built in

@FixMyBleep 11 ай бұрын

I'm running this on a desktop (large tower) computer in an office where there isn't any internet port or cables. Some cases where a system has a bad wifi card built-in, this would be a life saver. No issues as of yet. Not sure if that's any help with your question or not.

Hi there, for $20.00 it's worth a shot. I've been using the TP Link through 3 stud walls to the router without any issues, however I'm not sure how it will do through a actual floor. Thanks for the comment, let me know how it does if you move forward with it. 👍

Does it work in full-duplex simultaneously?

@FixMyBleep Жыл бұрын

That's a great question, looks like this adapter will not do a full-duplex from looking at the specs and configuration. Thanks for the comment!

@ulerbulu4062 Жыл бұрын

Data transmission over wifi is half-duplex. Data are sent and receive in sequential, not simultaneously like wired ethernet. And also 867 Mbps is PHY rate, actual transfer speed is only about 50 percent (433 Mbps).

@FixMyBleep Жыл бұрын

Verify that your router/modem is "broadcasting" both a 2.4 and a 5 G signal. This adapter will pull that in & use one or the other. Also the TPLink prefers a 3.0 port to feed it. You may also try updating to the latest drivers in the download center at tp-link.com/en/download-center. Hopefully this info helps. 🖥

@FixMyBleep 6 ай бұрын

That's a really good question, but from what I can tell this is a WiFi device for wireless connectivity from your PC to your wireless router... or a WiFi connection outside your home. For Smart TV streaming you may want to look at FIRE stick devices that plug into the HDMI port on the back of your TV. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here, I haven't tried this.

How many mbps do you have on your plan?

@FixMyBleep Жыл бұрын

That's a good point, we have a 1GB plan at the home, so this TP Link can max itself out without ever reaching the full limit of what we have available. Running a speed test with a LAN cable it doesn't quite work out to a full Gig anyway, and upload speed is good but not ever "as advertised" it seems. Thanks for the comment!

I wouldn't recommend this product personally. I didn't care about speed, I just wanted a stable wifi connection, and it couldn't even provide that. It started off working decently but after a few weeks it started dropping and disconnecting from the PC randomly. When it works it works great, but when it's being inconsistent it's the most frustrating thing imaginable.

Thanks for the comment, good to know. I wonder if the newer model is any better? I've been using it consistently since purchased, but have had to restart the router a couple of times since I've installed it, not sure if it was the internet provider, or the device but that seemed to help with any stability issues I've seen.
