TL-WN823N

簡単に接続できました。 接続中は緑のライトが点滅するのが煩わしいですが見えない配置にすれば問題ありません。

仮設用なので安価な商品を選びました。価格を考えた上での性能には満足しています。windows11ではドライバー用のCDは不要でした、

Linux mint cinamonで、挿しただけで認識･･･ ただしスピードがが出ないです。20bpsどまり しょうがなく、Ｕ２ nanoで5Gで接続すると ９０Mbpsまでなりました。Nanoは自動認識しません。ドライバを手動で入れました。 PCはレッツノートCFｰNX２をつかっています。

Windows10とAlmalinux8.10で認識されました。 安定しているかどうかはまだわかりません。

他のアダプターでは設定が出来ず断念。 この商品ではlinuxのWiFiが簡単に接続しました。ただ、電波が弱いです。

急ぎMac向けのwifiドングルが必要になり、TP-Link 製品かつMac対応と書かれていたので即決で購入しました。 ところが Macは Sierra までしか対応しておらず、ドライバはインストール出来ず、使い物になりませんでした。 商品詳細には対応OSが書かれていたので見落としていた自分も悪いですが、10年近く前のバージョンまでなのにMacOS対応と書かれているのも正直いかがなものかと思います。

2021年になってなぜこんな古い規格の製品を購入するのか。 この製品より新規格の製品は山ほどある。 この製品より高速なものは山ほどある。 この製品より小型のものも山ほどある。 なのになぜこれを選ぶのか。 ちょっとした整備や組み立て時、windowsアップデートをはじめとしてネットには接続していたいがメインマシンの邪魔になる位置に整備しているパソコンを置いておきたくなかったからだ。 有線だと作業空間を地味に占有する。ケーブルの長さが長いものを使っても危なっかしさがあるし、なんだかんだ距離も限られる。 だからちょうど「ネットにつながりゃいいんだよ」的な無線子機を探していた。 それでもついつい高性能な物が欲しくなるのが人情だが、そこは我慢した。 それには理由がある。 まず価格。 新規格に対応していればいるほど高くなる。 サポート用に使うから速度もそんなに速くなくて良い。 そしてなにより「サイズがほどほどでかいこと」が重要だった。 近年流行りの小型子機はうっかり折るミスなどは無くなるものの 「摘まんで取るのが難しい」 「挿しっぱなしで抜くのを忘れる」←特にこれ というデメリットがある。 その点このクラシックなデザインは魅力的だ。 抜き忘れることはないくらい目立つし、引っこ抜くときも簡単！ 実にエルゴノミクスだ。しかも安い。 じゃあ巨大アンテナ搭載のものを選べばいいと思うかもしれないがアレはアレで今度は取り回しが悪い。 しかも高い。 ゆえに最近めっきり見なくなったこのクラシック極まりない子機を買うことにした。 整備性を最重視したい人間からしてみれば最高の品だ。 大変に満足している。

電波の受信感度・通信速度共にふつ～オブふつ～でした。 動作は安定しているので、気軽に使えるって点は良いですね。

Good Working for desktop

I had already a wireless dongle, but I wanted to get a better one to check if the speed could be improved. After testing, the speed was the same, so it is just my provider. The dongle is very robust and package is very good too.

This little wireless dongle is performing flawlessly, attached to a 2009 Mac Mini running El Capitan. The mini was built from collected parts but without the WiFi antennae. Those antennae sell, on the used market, for about twice the price of this TP-LINK device and don't provide better performance. Both the TP-LINK and the factory WiFi are "N" spec. so they should give similar throughput. I purchased this model (TP-LINK TL-WN823N) because I needed an adapter for a dead-cheap computer build. This target machine contains most of an actual Apple 2009 model, its not a hackintosh, although I can't imagine why it wouldn't work nicely in the latter. The price/performance was perfect for what I needed. The TP-LINK adapter uses a software utility/driver to function under MacOS. The software is included in the package on an optical disk. There is also some software for Windows and Linux but I can't comment on that because I didn't try any of it. The size of the device makes insertion and removal from a USB port easy, even if the ports around it are occupied, but it's small enough not to stick out and get brushed/broken. Once this device and its app are installed it just does what it is supposed to do. In fact, I tend to forget it is there. To my mind, that is exactly the way a WiFi adapter should work. The app puts an icon on the bar at the top of the screen, much like MacOS does. Through that icon, you can control the TP-LINK device independent of the other Mac network facilities. The idea that it uses a proprietary app to handle it, rather than trying to integrate with MacOS, can be seen in a positive light because it means that TP-LINK has control of both the hardware and the software. That makes it independent of any changes the OS manufacturer might make in the future. I have several TP-LINK devices and their product support is pretty good. In fact, the products are good enough that I've never had to contact TP-LINK other than to look for updates or get product information/specs from their site. As a last thought, Amazon offers a range of these WiFi devices. Some of the higher performance models could be used to improve on the built in hardware in older machines. So, if you have the support for AC/Dual Band from your router or access point, you could buy a pretty significant WiFi boost with one of the more powerful TP-LINK products in the list. The increments in performance are less than ten dollars in price. If your machine has an on-board "G" spec. WiFi adapter then one of these units will give you a very satisfying speed boost for very little money. Keep in mind, if you plan to use one of these adapters on the road (laptop), most public WiFi hot-spots don't offer more than "N" spec. service. I consider the TP-LINK TL-WN823N a good purchase, and I would do it again.

This works for a system that uses Peppermint OS 3 very well. I plugged it in and it ran. No need to install the drivers from the CD that came with this adapter. It gets a strong signal. It doesn't even get warm like my older adapters. It does not disconnect while using the Peppermint OS 3 system. I tried to load the drivers and wireless manager from the CD and it just kept freezing on the XP system so I just installed the drivers. Although, XP had drivers for a 300Mbps wireless adapter already to be used when I plugged this in. So maybe you don't need them with XP. I have been using it for a week. I have 2. One for my laptop and one for my Desktop and both run well on Peppermint OS 3. My Desktop is a dual boot Linux Peppermint and XP. Now I can use both and have faster downloads and uploads. I purchased this because I had a wireless adapter that kept getting disconnected when using the Peppermint OS 3 operating system. The XP system on the same machine used the adapter just fine but the Linux side didn't. I read that some adapters just didn't stay connected if using a Linux system and to try a kind that did. I saw a list of adapters that were reportedly operating well with Linux and one of them was the TP-Link brand. I had a 54 megabyte adapter before and thought I would try something with more capacity. Yes, it says 300 megabytes per second. I am not sure if it reaches that speed as the router that I have only goes to 150Mbps. (yeah, only, that is fast for my casual emails and YouTube, I am not a gamer.) I am in another room from the router and I am getting 144.5mbps and 3 out of 4 bars for connection. It works better than my old adapter and it works on my Linux system. I am using Peppermint 3 and a 2005 desktop computer with XP pro. I also use it on a 2003 Laptop running Peppermint 3 and it works great. I had to put a usb card into the side of the old Dell Inspiron 4150 to get USB2. Now I can use Linux with a fast USB wireless adapter. Nice! I recommend this adapter. The price is good and it is half the size of my old adapter. I am not as nervous like I was with my old adapter sticking out so far. This one is much shorter. And it works better. 5 stars for Linux users and Dual booters like me!

So far good product. Does exactly what it is intended. Installation for windows I a-bit miss leading because it automatically configured its self. It give me the option to connect the second WiFi adapted on top of the WiFi in the bottom right. Small clear and hardly noticeable
