This adapter is FAST! I am upgrading my home network to 2.5G and I have some computers that don't have 2.5G network adapters, including a very nice Dell laptop. Although TP-Link doesn't say what network chipset they use, the specs say it is supported by windows 11 without having to download any drivers so when I got it I just plugged it in right away. As advertised, the computer recognized the adapter and connected at the full 2.5G speed! It's always nice to see a piece of tech work as advertised. I also found the device looks and feels very robust, high end. It has enough weight to it that it feels like it's solid construction and won't break if I put it into a laptop case and travel with it, and it looks nice enough that it's not out of place on an office desk. I do wish TP-Link would include the actual adapter chipset in the specifications, because not everyone looking for a network adapter is running windows so they'd need to know the chipset to verify compatibility. But that's a TP-Link marketing fail, not a problem with the adapter itself. It worked right away, and looks nice too. Recommended! Read more
I like to wait before leaving reviews so I can give a genuine long-term experience.

I didn’t even notice any drivers installing; it just worked immediately. • Design: Foldable, compact, and convenient for travel or desk setups. • Performance: Speed has been amazing. Used it on a Windows 11 Pro laptop, and it works flawlessly.

I bought this for my 5 year old Sony Bravia Smart TV running android 10 and it works great! Less latency than Wi-Fi and always on vs needing to connect to Wi-Fi means my TV is snappier and caching is nearly non existent. Stop was easy, I literally plugged it into an available USB port and plugged the Ethernet cable into it. No drivers or apps needed. Read more
