Overview
TP-Link builds the Archer T2U Plus as a USB Wi-Fi dongle for upgrading older wireless cards on a desktop or laptop. Its antenna aims at longer range, and the dual band design reaches both wireless bands.
The aerial on this adapter is the reason to consider it over a bare nano stick when the router is far away. The limit is portability and platform: it is bigger than nano adapters, and the listing names Windows versions only.
Who it's for
Windows desktop and laptop owners with a weak internal card will use the antenna reach. Mac owners and travelers who want the smallest possible stick should look at other adapters.
Pros and cons
- High gain antenna for range
- Dual band support
- Wide Windows version support
- Long manufacturer warranty
- Mac support not listed
- Larger than nano adapters
- Router not included
Performance notes
The aerial focuses the signal in a direction, which improves range while narrowing the pattern. Listed speed is a combined ceiling, and the real result depends on the router and walls between. Upgrading a legacy card mostly helps when the old hardware is the bottleneck.
