    • The driver and software a re really easy to deal with too!
    • they have great driver support and i can confirm it works on OS X, as well as Windows, you just need to find the correct driver and use a wifi utility such as the "Green
    • Poor driver support and no diagnostic modes
    • The drivers are preinstalled in most Linux distributions and it worked out of the box for what I needed.
    • That was a real deal-breaker, but before returning, I decided to make sure I had the most recent drivers, and lo and behold there were drivers from 2013 available on the TP Link website
    • Had a little trouble downloading the right driver from their website
    • Probably a driver problem, but sometimes I need to unplug the device and plug it back
    • The driver on the TP-Link website fails to extract.
    • Had to update driver but worked well once that was accomplished.
    • Pros:The white plastics for the RT8188 chip are vaguely attractiveHas an external antenna; offers an illusion of performanceThere is a cap to keep the dirt out the port when not in use, which is oftenCons:Very poor driver support from the vendor: zero effort to package a driver on the package; outdated driver on their download siteNo built-in support in the kernel in RHEL or CentOS: had to download and compile driver from independent internet sourcesUnreliable when there is driver support
    • Quite possibly the driver will be approved and made part of Linux in 6 months.
    • I had to install an experimental driver to support it, but sometimes it disconnects me from net
    • drivers available at their website
    • The driver is available for free online download (there's a disc inside with the driver, but a lot of laptops now don't have a disc drive)
    • 2017 and installing wifi adapter drivers should be a lot easier
    • Amazing product but the drivers for linux are TERRIBLE
    • No drivers available, no firmware​ available.
    • The driver from the company's website fails to compile.
    • This tells me that the adapter with the proper driver is over volting the port and not managing its power consumption properly
    • Two downsides: it's not capable of 5 Ghz, but that was clear from the product description; and the drivers weren't available on Windows automatically, so I actually had to use the CD that came with it.
    • TP-Link has promised drivers "soon" for months at this point but don't get your hopes up
    • Also, I use this card for my Nexus 7 2012 WiFi pen-test tablet running NetHunter 3.0 on Nakasi 5.1.1.To get the wireless card to run properly on my NetHunter tablet, however, it required me to download additional drivers from the terminal since the included drivers did not immediately work
    • To their credit, the Win10 drivers seem to work download and work, it's not a plug and play kind of deal though
    • and I must say the fact that it needs no drivers makes it perfect to use with a virtual machine
    • Does not support current drivers for Mac 10.12.6
    • A wireless adapter should not require actions like this to fix, it should just connect and work as long as it has the correct drivers
    • Does not have proper linux driver available for current ubuntu.
    • The drivers on the Ubuntu CD work with this device
    • The older reviews are saying it doesn't but the TP-Link website has a windows 10 driver available now and it must be baked into windows 10
    • no official win 10 drivers.
    • The Windows 8.1 drivers basically work, but they aren't perfect, and there is some evidence that they occasionally lead to blue screens, which is obviously bad.
    • The drivers don't work on a Vista 32-bit machine.
    • Aside from silly disk and complicated drivers this product works just as expected and has very much so increased my network speeds on my computer as an upgrade from my old internal card from
    • Apparently it is not compatible with Mojave, and tech support couldn’t tell me when a driver might become available
    • But the drivers are absolute crap
    • lwfinger is a kernel maintainer, their drivers work good for me
    • it worked instantly in unbuntu no drivers
    • I did call their tech support before I identified the right driver package

    • Using drivers ft or Win8.1 @5Ghz works on Windows 10
    • Had to download drivers from a beta site to work with recent OSX versions.
    • It might just be my machine, but for some reason it doesn't like the driver
    • (make sure to load the proper drivers!!!)
    • I tried the drivers on TP-LINK's website as well as the drivers for the chipset from the manufacturer
    • I don't understand why some people are having no trouble with this unit and others are, the fact that TP Link is hosting a faulty driver on their support page is also a big negative as well as how the first unit stopped functioning on me but now that I finally do have it working I am satisfied with the hardware side of it
    • No Win 10 drivers on TP-Link site
    • Poor driver support and no diagnostic modes
    • Windows 10 will automatically install a generic driver that is made for the chipset inside this adapter and is a much faster and newer driver than anything you will get from TP-Link
    • I also tried clearing everything and installing the driver fresh from their site, but had the same problem.
    • Without the proper drivers, neither device gets over 25mbps.[...]This was the URL for the Win10 drivers, but they do not work
    • I can happily report that once I found the right driver, this adapter works well and makes up to a 150 Mbps connection with a TP-Link 802.11n wireless router (N450) at 2.4 GHz
    • I bought this wifi booster because another excellent (or used to be) similar product BearExtender stopped upgrading the driver to 10.9!
    • ", I did some further research ... it appears the RTL8192CU driver is compatible with the N300 model

    • The drivers continually failed to install and now my other wireless adapter won't work either
    • Used the standard drivers and it worked immediately.
    • On windows, got the drivers from the website and works just as well.
    • Why advertise an OS compatibility when there are no drivers available?

    • Win 10 had drivers and it worked flawlessly

    • Plugged this sucker in, installed driver, disabled the old card, enabled this dongle...boom...lag is gone-zo!
    • Driver didnt work on sierra mac os, contacted email support, they sent me a beta driver, and it worked.
    • It still does come with drivers though, and you can always install official drivers from the TP-Link website after initial setup as well
    • An amazing WiFi antenna, just works on Linux and very easy driver install on Windows
    • I didn't read closely enough for this, but that still is worth taking a star off, because drivers have been promised for this chipset by TP-Link already, just not delivered upon
    • That being said, following other reviewers instruction, I was able to hobble together the drivers and got it working
    • You will have to look somewhere other than TP-Link for a compatible driver as the only drivers I found on the mfg's website were too recent to work with
    • Driver didnt work on sierra mac os, contacted email support, they sent me a beta driver, and it worked.

    • Is missing the drivers for Linux.
    • If your time is worth nothing, or you feel like writing your own drivers, then go for it.
    • No WIN10 drivers available
    • Consequent installations (of the newest supposedly compatible win10 driver) give error Code 10, device will not start
    • With each big deployment of a new windows 10 rev, the drivers break and speed drops down to around 1-2 down and 30up
    • Driver works great in Pwnie Express.
    • Unfortunately, the V of this product does not work with Kali linux.
