Quick and Simple Connectivity
I needed this as a quick replacement for a motherboard network connection that stopped working after a lightning strike. It was almost as simple as plug it in and start working. I didn't have much room in back of the desktop, but it was able to just fit in the space with the antenna at 90 degrees.

TP-Link Archer T4U Dual-Band AC1200 USB Wi-Fi Adapter
Bought a handful of these last week and they provided a significant performance gain for my client's PC's previously only Wireless-N. Almost 10x the throughput. Highly recommended for quick, cost-effective wireless boost!

Keeps Dropping Signal
I originally bought this in an attempt to not snake a Ethernet cable around my house to my HTPC but the dongle drops connections every five to ten minutes. I tried to troubleshoot it and the dang thing refuses to stay connected. Ended up snaking the cable after all.

Powerful antenna and good speed
I bought this wi-fi adapter specifically because my existing one was not getting a very good signal from my wireless router. It was not feasible to move the router or the computer, thus the need for a more powerful adapter. The minute I installed this wifi adapter the difference was obvious.
Pros:
- Easy to Use
- Features
- Performance
- Quiet
Cons:
- Expensive
- physically large
- not feasible to use with a laptop

Linux -works fineafter installing driver
Unlike Windows 10, it's not plug&play in Linux Ubuntu 18.04, but works fine after installing driver for Realtek RTL8812AU chipset. This requires internet connection by other means, such as ethernet cable.

Slower performance
I tested this wireless adapter on a Lenovo ThinkPad 460s using the USB 3.0 port (SS) using whatever the default Windows 10 driver is. The Adapter came with a CDROM, but my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so I didn't test with the TP-Link drivers, which may be why my bandwidth is slow.
Pros:
- Compact
- Easy To Set Up
Cons:
- Slow

Had to return. Once the unit was set up, my dead zones showed full bars but nothing would load. It was as if I was getting a false signal. HD gave full refund.

"Way faster internet speed"
This increased the internet speed on my computer, and all I had to do was plug it in and I could start using it
