With the correct driver I download at speeds around

So, somewhere between earlier reviews for and now, Windows was able to get the proper drivers for this card and make it plug-and-play compatible instead of fiddling around with driver CDs

I recently did the Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro update, and Windows 10 correctly found and installed the right drivers for this adapter

The 2016 drivers were extremely buggy, the card would randomly cut out connection every few minutes like my Netgear

The drivers are available to download if you set the Ubuntu Software Updates to allow it.

10 DRIVER AVAILABLE FOR THIS DEVICE.

TP-Link website support has no driver for Windows 10.

At first I was thinking the dreadful DOA despite me being fully ESD protected, but restarting it caused it to be detected by the computer immediately (I went through the website, install CD, and device manager to manually update the driver to no success).With the last glimmer of hope, the restart caused the computer to recognize the card immediately; perhaps it's because of this old motherboard?Who knows

After a Windows 10 upgrade,the card in my desktop would no longer connect due to no Windows 10 drivers available

Its definitely sturdier and the drivers are a lot better, but the reception is a little worse

Windows 10 automatically installed the drivers and it worked right away.

The drivers and software is a bit of a hassle, but once everything works this wireless card is amazing.

Please get proper drivers for windows 10

The qualcomm driver works great

I didn't use the cd they gave me, just google the model and find the appropriate drivers.

Either way, if you are having trouble with the driver (it installs but will not connect to the internet), search for "qualcomm atheros AR938x driver" followed by your OS (windows 7, 8, 10, etc) and it will work

I'm getting the same speeds after the driver update as well

TP-Link states that their drivers for this card have been released to support windows 10

Please fix its awful driver.

I did not revert the driver and I am waiting for the system to boot (as it is taking substantially longer than before)

Disable your current wireless network adapter (if you have one).3: Install the drivers you downloaded.4: Reboot Windows

Works great, just make sure you download the correct drivers

I removed 1-star because TP-Link doesn't like to include the correct drivers and another star for the high ping of

This device failed to install, the driver suite (from the CD and downloaded from the website) would not recognize the card

removed drivers and card and reinstall org driver and card still no work, in fact my pc only froze.

Great card with good speed and signal strength although drivers could be a concern depending on the OS your running

connectivity is good.only problem: getting the right driver is annoying

Pros:- Mostly works out of the box (windows may need manual driver

Function windows 10 drivers is great seeing how TP Link cant seem to get any for most of their devices for Win 10.

then the drivers are incompatible with current version of Windows 10

İ didnt install the driver and it works perfectly on windows 10

Also, if you're on Windows 10, good luck finding the correct driver.

I placed it in the PCI express port (I tried multiple in case that was an issue) and updated the driver like other reviewers

Windows 10 will detect and install the right drivers, even during initial install of the OS

I have had two of these, gave the one I ordered a second chance and figured it was faulty drivers, had a replacement sent and it does the same thing when playing games, lag lag lag, huge lag spikes when ran in aes security mode, in tkip security mode it still has hiccup lags, if you are just wanting to browse the web or watch movies, sure it's pretty good for that, if you want to do anything

Installed card and driver, and connected only at 2.4 not 5ghz. tried another driver and that wrecked my sys

It works pretty well in windows 10, and ubuntu, however I had to return it because I needed it for an embedded project and the linux kernel I needed to use was not really working with the drivers available

Troubleshooter on win8 said drivers were the issue

Decent driver support, easy installation.

TP-Link has not updated the driver yet to support Windows 10.

The only issue I've had is Windows Update causing the driver for the wireless card to crash when downloading a list of packets so large it literally caused Windows to have a mild heart attack, freeze, and kill the running driver for the wireless card

I didnt need any drivers to run it, improved my wifi speeds

Tried all drivers and utilities available at the TP Link site which have not been updated since Nov 2016 - I should have checked that first, no KRACK fix!!

Driver is completely unusable with Windows 10 and no solution found after hours of searching worked whatsoever

Works right out of the box, no drivers required.

After installing the card I followed the kind instructions that were given in the review section on how to install the correct drivers since TP-Link has the inability to provide useful drivers (ever) and manually scourging the web for the right one can be tedious

Awesome lightweight driver, neat design (heatsink), dual antenna, as fast as wifi can get (I think)

This card does use a Broadcom chip so you will have to use a proprietary driver

Had Windows 10 find and update the right driver (didn't use the included cd)

If you're using this for Windows 10, you'll have to find the right driver for it to work properly

Attempting to install the drivers provided by TP-Link fails for most people with this card, and TP-Link has no intention of ever providing compatible drivers on windows 10 since it is being phased out by newer models (at least their Tech Support is honest with customers).For the customers who do intend to use this card, you must use the drivers provided directly by Broadcom (this card uses a Broadcom chip)

Ubuntu 18.04 requires you to use the proprietary bcm driver, so you need to install the card and connect your Ethernet wired port to your LAN (with Internet access)

SOOO MUCH ISSUES... crappy driver support.. constantly dropped from netwotk...

This was after finding out this is not compatible with Windows 10 until me digging through the internet and finding the correct driver

Extremely slow download!I tried whatever I could find on the internet, changed driver to Qualcomm but no luck

The drivers are also really hard to make work on windows 10

Once I downloaded the proper drivers from TP-Link's site, everything is full

The driver on the supplied CD-ROM was poor

BEWARE of significant driver issues with this device on windows 10

Even the driver is easy to use

The driver that is recommended seems to fail consistently, and has given me several blue screens over the course of the last six months

What I love about this actually are the drivers

There's probably some obscure bit of registry crude in there to make the driver start working properly again, but if that's required for your software, that makes the whole package garbage.

On windows, select to manually install a driver for the device, go through the list of already available drivers for your pc, and then select the driver for the "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter".

It did not have Win 10 drivers when I received it.

Plugged this in, loaded the drivers and works fine.

That driver worked well enough to get me online

That driver worked well enough to get me online

, it installed the drivers and it works AMAZINGLY

I am currently troubleshooting to see if I can revert the driver and restore functionality

Good brand name, no crashing and great compatible driver

Terrible outdated driver

It made me pretty nervous downloading the driver, since I don't normally trust these sites, but I did that, and reloaded the driver in device manager... and now it works.

The driver was pretty difficult to find but it installed with ease

Extremely strong signal (with concrete wall in between computer and router), driver works well (gives you the option of whether/not you want to install the crapware or just the driver), price was good, and installation was a breeze

I really wanted to like this product, had a little difficulty at first getting all the drivers to work but after that it seemed to work

I used 7zip to extract the files and then manually updated the driver (like above) which seemed to also work fine

Running on Windows 10 with the Windows 10 driver (WARNING included driver is for 8.1)

The problem was the horrible driver software the card comes with

a side note, I am on windows 10 and the drivers only mentioned up to windows 8.1 but the 8.1 drivers work fine for me at least.

without the correct driver I was only hitting around 1.5

I'd give it 5 stars except for the catch 22 of requiring a wired internet connection in order to get the drivers to make this wireless card work on Win10

After it crashed my box into blue screen, Archer tech disclosed that neither driver nor firmware was available past mid-2015

No drivers for Windows 10 so it uses the next best thing which requires a NIC reboot about every other restart... kind of annoying

Easy driver and utility install without any compatibility issues with Win 10.

There are no updated drivers available.

Thank you John R .

The USB wireless connector in the living room was an older model and I wanted something fast, which is faster, USB or PCI-E, which stands for PCI express

Just plugged into my PCI-E, screwed on the antennas and it worked

Thank you John R .
