TP-LinkNano AC600 USB WiFi Adapter(Archer T2U Nano)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Transceiver for PC Desktop, Travel Size, Supports Windows (11,10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP/Mac OS X 10.9-10.14)

I got this since it had same-day shipping and my motherboard's built-in wifi and bluetooth randomly gave out (strange!!). On a new Ubuntu boot disk it worked out of the box, but for some reason on my current install I had to install the RTL8811AU driver from github (sorry I have learned we aren't supposed to leave links in Amazon reviews, but you can find it easily ... the repo name has "8821au" in it). The installation was dead simple though, and I'm getting 212 Mbps internet download speeds, which is fantastic, as fast as I've ever seen this internet. Despite the tiny form factor, it is able to connect to our mesh network from a room away.I did later search for Linux USB wifi devices, and if I weren't impatient to get my desktop working again, then I would probably go for the Panda Wireless PAU0F AXE3000 Tri Band ... it's cool they have official linux support and overall IMO having antennas is better than being super tiny.

Works great to provide a quick wifi solution to my laptop where the wifi card has failed and no longer works. The USB adapter is super easy to use, compact and reasonably fast for what I need.Bluetooth connectivity:No Bluetooth - Only WiFiEase of use:Super Easy - Plug and playPlug-in capability:USB 2.0 through USB 3.0

Small and reliable. Plugged into a Windows 11 PC and worked right away. Speeds are solid, around 200 Mbps on a 300 Mbps connection. Holds a stable signal even two rooms away. Gets warm during long sessions, but no disconnects. Not ideal for gaming latency, but great for everyday use. Install TP-Link’s driver for best results.

Due to a botched repair (My fault...again...) I had to convert the WLAN card slot in an older Yoga laptop to use an compact SSD card instead. This meant that the laptop no longer had onboard WiFi or Bluetooth. I am a retired Wi-Fi field engineer and I know a bit about client performance.First priority here was preventing damage to the USB port, which meant it had to project less than a half inch from the body. It also had to provide Bluetooth. My expectations for performance were minimal and I expected all kinds of grief from power management turning the adapter off during sleep, doze, etc. This adapter more than meets this size requirement.-And surprise surprise, it works much better than I'd hoped. It easily saturates my cable modem link (150 down, 15 up) and more importantly, the link is consistent during Teams meetings and voice calls. The AP I'm using is 10' away on the other side of a kitchen wall. My PHY rate is 250mbps as I write this (5Ghz, 80mhz channel, 1SS, Wi-Fi5/AC link) and the external mouse is BT connected. Too much attention is paid to signal strength and even data rate. What really matters is link consistency and this thing hits the mark.I've been using it for weeks and don't remember having any link drops or issues waking up from power save. There was one occurrence where the laptop went to sleep during a Google Voice call, and the stream was interrupted. It came right back after wiggling the mouse. (BT has been flawless).It's a little expense in my opinion, but as far as I know this is the smallest USB WLAN adapter out there so maybe it's worth the premium. It does allow me to keep this old (But expensive) laptop on the road for another year or two. It dropped right in to Windows 11 without any manual driver installation. My network is WPA-2 so I can't speak to WPA-3 support.I also messed with the super-cheap adapters you can by on the direct-from-china sites. Don't bother. While the size is right, they are consistently awful, even at $5. If you need a tiny Wi-Fi adapter, get this one.
