This thing periodically loses internet signal

Very poor signal

great signal, easy to install, just put in on the mother board and win 8.1 do the rest

If I move the modem to within 5 yards with the signal having to pass through just one drywall I get a weak signal.

One week later I installed the new adapter only to get the same pathetic signal on the 5.0 GHz band

I am now getting good signal and 19 Mbps or 17 Mbps on my Wifi, my internet speed should be 21 Mbps.

And its 5Ghz wireless-n signal seems stronger than most similar USB adapters I tried.

And the signal I can get is even better than my macbook

This is only 2 rooms from my router yet the signal is horrible.

It does not seem to be a big difference in some setups if your home router has a good signal

Used in my desktop thats about 20 feet from the router in another room and through a wall it did a decent job and had decent signal

Speed is ok but 5G signal is so bad.

Worked flawlessly with better signal.

junk barely any signal or none at all don't buy this buy a 2 antenna better reviewed adapter

I was getting a poor signal with my NetGear PCI but it was also about 9 years old

The signal is not stable for 5G

Finally, it drops the signal even with full bars and interrupts even light web browsing

Once drivers were installed though, this adapter gets great signal and speed.

It provides a stronger signal, and is much faster than the four year old TP-LINK Wi-Fi card it's replacing

There is definitely a problem with line of sight transmission that would slow down signals first of all

Great signal strength and speed

Just one bad: Weak signal

I have terrible signal strength at the range that my iPhone has full signal

The netgear would drop packets periodically, even with it's strong signal and stability, this caused terrible lag in games and made it unusable for me.

It was able to detect the wireless quickly and hold a strong signal.

Small, easy to install and gets a better signal than my 3-antenna D-Link!Very happy for the price.

It typically has much weaker signal or none at all compared to other devices in the same area.

No problems at all, excellent signal and no lag in gaming

Get fairly good signal and doesn't seem to have any transmission issues.

Pros: Great range - Solid signal, and latency

No problems at all, excellent signal and no lag in gaming

Working much faster and with a stronger signals reception.

ft with great signal strength, speeds are almost as fast as a direct hook up.

5hz doesn't work, signal is always 1 bar

Strong signal throughout the entire house.

This card while some users report it working flawlessly, I'm not one of those people, I couldn't even get a good signal with the router being only 3 feet away while being the only device on the network

The signal is strong, usually 80% or higher from 20+ feet away through 2 plaster walls

It would connect, but signal is very weak without antenna.

I then got a new USB adapter, a Netgear one, it had a great signal, and it was very consistent with packet latency.

Now I have much better signal plus full 75 Mbps speed

One star is docked because this card doesn't have great signal reception, but it's good enough for my purposes.

Bought this and have never lost a signal

Signal is great

It picks up signal pretty good, but of course 5ghz isn't that great at a distance and though walls - though this could just be the fault of the signal

Tilting the Antenna's has some effect on the strength and getting the right angle is a must to get the perfect signal not a con just a thought

The signal is excellent, as is the speed.

I got the strongest signal with 2.4 but the speed test was the best on 5

The only problem is, the signal was so weak with this adapter that it made my internet connection slower

The 5.0 GHz band is pathetic in that it only receives a poor signal from my Archer D9 modem which is just one timber floor almost directly below.

My computer and my router are located about 50 feet away from each other, and the 3 antennas on this card pick up and give me an excellent, consistent signal

Even at such a sort distance i only get one bar butthe signal seems solid

The PC is in the next room and always great signal strength.

Picks up signal just like it should

Windows 10 requires you to manually get older, more stable driver to provide better signal

Then I found this, the beam-forming has allowed me to use my 5GHz network, as the tendnet couldn't get a good enough signal, the drivers work just fine with Win10 and it is just all around amazing, even looks good in my case with a black PCB and heatsync.

It will take advantage of 5Ghz radio but with "tweaking" of the advanced properties of the adapter and even then this adapter has a weaker signal than the cheaper WDN 4800 adapter

I get great signal with no drops thus far.

Weak signal strength, 5g none existent all in all not worth the money

Throws enough signal to travel a decent distance to pair with the Modem

Weak signal strength, slow transfer rates and difficult to get Windows 10 drivers installed

Works like a charm, strong signal, no drivers needed for Windows 10 and Debian 9

It would lose signal all the time, and my desktop is literally 25 feet from the router with no obstructions

maintains a strong signal from across the house

When you have a strong signal it works fine

The computer is under my desk so it is not getting as good a signal

They try and blame you or your position to the router, ignoring that getting too close hurts signal

For the first week it worked fine, then it started losing the signal at awkward times, and now I can even start online for few minute without losing the signal.

With the modem placed one floor below the signal is very good and even if I take it to the other end of the house so that the signal has to pass through one floor and numerous walls I still get a good signal

Signal isn't great, but it works

location!The TP-Link Archer T9E is currently the cream of the crop in their line of adapters; it is advertised to have a superior performance for multiple HD streaming, the strongest signal and fastest speeds, but these theoretical specifications go down the drain if your computer is literally facing a corner wall in a room.

Fast and easy to install but sometimes drops signal a few times

Hard to get a strong signal under a desk

2.4ghz worked much faster with much stronger signal

Installation was easy, but the receiver never manages to get a decent signal

otherwise it performed very poorly (pretty much unusable).The signal with the T9E was weaker and the data speed was slower when compared to the TP-Link USB adapters even when I put the USB adapters in the same location as the T9E antennae.

Very nice signal three floors away.

I'm sure this is a decent card, but with my router being a few feet away, I couldn't get a decent signal and use the bandwidth AC1900 promises

I just where using usb wifi and was loosing signal randomly, but once I switched to this it worked right away and haven’t lose signal no single time.

I have perfect 5/5 bar strong connections all through my house, and the signal from this card is stronger in the basement (farthest point away from the router) than it is on my MotoX phone

I get very strong signal

To get a good signal I have to place the modem next to the computer

and then it started to receive a weaker and weaker signal, it then got worse and started refusing to connect or it would just disconnect randomly.

By comparison, I get solid signal and full network speeds being THREE floors down from the router

It's fast but more often than not loses signal, might just be my house

They will only lose connection with outside interference (one of our rooms has heated floors and absolutely destroys any signal from any device, it's a dead spot for cellphones too).

I used the Windows 10 driver and the utility from the website, but it couldn't break 15mb/s with 75mb/s internet

Terrible 5G reception

It just refuses to use 5G and refuses to get full speed of 11n.

So I have to disable 2.4G on driver to force it to connect to 11ac

Weak signal strength, 5g none existent all in all not worth the money

I believe it is also backward compatible with the other ones as well (802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b. and 802.11a).

At the same time I got my ISP to upgrade my classic 802.11g router to something more modern

This adapter seems to be working about as well as the old G adapter (that my connection speed only reads 54 Mbps may be due to the gateway as much as the card - and Uverse caps speed well below that anyway), so I'm happy with it.

The signal is not stable for 5G

When being used with a Win 10 PC the 5G does not work but the 2.4G works fine

no a/c support although they do clearly state they only support b/g/n

This causes issues installing, as well as if you are tech savy enough to install it via drivers

Works as it described

Easily installed and still working fine as of summer 2014.

It's being severely bottlenecked by my internet speed, but it's going as fast as it can with low ping
