Archer T3U Plus AC1300 USB WiFi Adapter for PC, Dual Band 3.0 USB WiFi Dongle for PC, Adjustable Two High-Gain Antennas Built in One, MU-MIMO, Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7XP, Mac OS, Easy Setup

For the longest time, I never bothered with wireless. As someone who games on PC, even the slightest delay or random ping spikes would throw me off, and sometimes something on my desk would also get thrown off. However since I’ve moved, I decided to clean everything up better, less cables here there & everywhere. So my setup is basically my main internet router, with the wireless disabled. That is directly connected to the TP-Link Archer AX20. And that is what handles all the wireless stuff as it’s obviously better all round than a standard internet router. Anyway with this T3U Plus connected to 5GHz, I literally get the exact same speeds and ping as a direct Ethernet connection. My internet isn’t the fastest, but the wireless stats are the same speeds. Maybe it’s due to WiFi 6, but I’ll be keeping this and I can feel comfortable playing games. Setting up was easy, just plug it into a 3.0 USB port and it’s up and running straight away, you’ll see the WiFi icon (or search for it) then connect. There will be a note mentioning how it can run faster in a 3.0 USB port. I was confused as I was sure I put it in one, and I did, the message just remains there I guess. So yeah guys, WiFi isn’t as bad or unpredictable as it was years ago. Overall it works well, good value for money, it’s not too big, very happy with it.

If your Wi-Fi signal was a party, the TP-Link Archer T3U Plus would be the DJ that suddenly makes everything better. You know, the one who walks in with a magical USB stick and instantly turns your weak, sad connection into a smooth, fast, and reliable one. It’s like Wi-Fi 2.0—faster, stronger, and better looking. First of all, let’s talk setup: It’s so easy, I almost feel like I cheated. Plug it in, wait for the drivers to install, and bam—you're surfing the web like you’ve just discovered the internet again. It’s like the dongle waved a magic wand and told your device, “You’re going to get the best signal in town, my friend.” And let’s not forget range. I’m talking about a Wi-Fi connection so strong it could reach across the room, through walls, and even through the neighbor’s house. My Wi-Fi now reaches places I thought were forever lost to the digital void. If Wi-Fi were a superhero, this dongle would be the one who flies through walls to rescue your connection, no cape required. The speed? AC1300. That's a fancy way of saying it's like your Wi-Fi is on a caffeine rush. Buffering? That’s for people who still have dial-up. Streaming? Smooth as butter. Gaming? Lag who? In short, if your Wi-Fi has been throwing a tantrum, get the TP-Link Archer T3U Plus. It’ll fix your connection faster than you can say "buffering." It's like giving your device a Wi-Fi makeover—one that actually works.

Credit where credit is due, this is more than worth the price. I spent £50~ on a wireless adapter that was unreliable, had instant issues and needed replacing immediately. So I took a chance on this, not expecting much and to my delight I found it to be reliable. Obviously, I'd prefer something faster to make the most use out of my internet speeds but again, credit where credit is due, this was delightfully stable, quick enough and VERY cheap.

I wasn’t expecting much from a tiny USB WiFi adapter, but the TP-Link Archer T3U Plus completely exceeded my expectations. Setup was straightforward, plug it in, install the drivers (Windows did it automatically for me), and within a minute I was connected. No dropped signals, no weird driver conflicts, none of that usual pain you sometimes get with cheap adapters. Performance-wise, it punches way above its size. On the 5GHz band, I’m consistently getting near the same speeds as my wired Ethernet connection, around 450 to 500 Mbps on a 500 line, which is seriously impressive for a USB device. Even through a couple of thick walls, the connection stays stable and lag-free. It’s handled everything from gaming on Steam to streaming 4K video without a hiccup. The adjustable antenna makes a real difference too. It looks a bit ridiculous sticking out of a small PC case, but being able to angle it for better reception actually works, I tested it in multiple positions, and you can see a clear bump in signal strength when you tweak it just right. Heat is minimal, build quality is solid, and it feels like something designed to last. I’ve used it on both desktop and laptop, and it performs equally well on both. One thing to note: the included USB 3.0 connection is key. Plug it into a USB 2.0 port and you’ll lose some performance, so make sure you’re using the right one. If you’re stuck with a desktop that doesn’t have built-in WiFi, or you want to upgrade from an older dongle, this is a brilliant choice. Fast, reliable, and surprisingly robust for its price, the Archer T3U Plus is proof that sometimes the small things really can make a big difference.

This thing is perfect! I had WiFi issues and first tried a cheap generic dongle which made very little difference. Then I tried this one and now have reliable, fast WiFi! I love it. Heartily recommended!

Super fast and easy to set up Didn't even need the software, it just works. Works with my pc and laptop super well, highly compatible! It's super small so you won't have trouble finding it Just a heads up, there's no Bluetooth so keep this in mind when buying if you want 2 in 1 I can now stream music at lossless quality without issues like I had with my old adapter. Highly recommend!

Perhaps I just got unlucky but I’m definitely not alone looking at TP Links forums. This adapter causes pretty severe latency spikes of around 1000 - 2000ms every few seconds or so and occasionally just drops out all together. Seems to be a known problem with this product with no official fix. Have tried suggested workarounds and none solved the problem for me. It was supposed to be replacing old onboard wireless which doesn’t support the latest protocols but ends up performing at half the speed with much higher average latency. If it’s an issue across all devices, you might be alright if you aren’t using it for calls / gaming or anything which is sensitive to latency. If you are intending to use it for things like that though, I’d suggest to look elsewhere.

Works well at first. Easy installation and stable connection. 6 months later - keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting, with poor signal. Got another wifi dongle and all good now so it’s not the wifi it’s this dongle.
