TL-WN725N USB WiFi Adapter for PC/Laptop, 150Mbps Wireless Nano USB 2.0 Adapter, Wi-Fi Dongle for streaming/internet calls, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP, Mac OS X, Linux, Easy setup

Purchased to provide more stable WiFi on a HP laptop. The built in WiFi was showing signs of age with loss of signal several times a day. It appears this is not unusual for HP laptops. Set up of the dongle was easy. Simply plugged into a spare USB port (in our case we plugged into a USB splitter hub). Windows detected the on board software for the driver immediately and it was installed in a couple of minutes. I used windows 11 device manager to deactivate the on board adapter to ensure Windows would always use the new dongle. We’ve used the dongle for over 24 hours with no WiFi drop out which was happening several times a day. A speed check test showed 280 mb/s which was slightly better than previous. This morning Windows 11 update automatically installed an update for the driver successfully. Overall a good solution to loss of WiFi on a HP laptop.

I bought this to avoid having a long USB cable running under my carpet (I am about to replace the carpet in question). It was easy to set up and it works really well. I get the same upload and download speeds as I did with the cable (Tested with Ookla). Recommended product!

Easy to install and set up. I like the way the drivers are built in. It didn't actually offer any noticeable speed improvements over my built-in laptop Wifi. I suppose it is partially my fault and partially to do with the confusing implementation of Wifi6. What I actually needed was an adapter that has 6ghz support, which is actually Wifi6e. There isn't really anything wrong with it. It performed solidly. It just wasn't really much faster than the Wifi5 I already had. I have a Unify U7 Pro access point and 900mbps fibre internet. My phone has Wifi6e and I see speeds just below the max available.

This product has been a game changer for me! I have super fast BT fiber optic broadband in the house but my laptop never got any where near the high speeds it should. I work from home and make calls through my laptop and always had issues with calls dropping out or a really bad line, my CRM system was always slow. I found this product after doing a lot of research on increasing my internet - I did all the things suggested on my laptop but nothing worked until I bought this. It's brilliant my speed has gone from around 26 to nearly 200!! My phone calls are crystal clear, no drop outs no bad lines and my laptop is now super quick on all applications using internet. It's a game changer would definitely recommend. I did have an issue setting it up as it was not recognising the device. I contacted TP and was advised to put my laptop next to the modem and try again and it worked. Their Customer Service via chat was very good as well This was worth every penny and made my working day that much better!!

I bought the TP-Link TL-WN725N to add Wi-Fi capability to my older desktop, and it works perfectly. The nano size is great — it barely sticks out of the USB port, so it’s very discreet. Setup was simple, especially on Windows 10 where it installed drivers automatically. The connection is stable with decent speeds for everyday browsing, streaming, and light downloads on the 2.4 GHz band. It’s compatible with a wide range of operating systems, which was important for me since I sometimes use Linux. So far, no issues with connection drops or interference. If you need a small, affordable USB Wi-Fi adapter that just works, this is a solid choice.

Works really well my aged ASUs compute was giving a download speed of 35mbs now with this adapter I am getting over 800mbs.

I bought TP-link as they're a trusted, established brand expecting no false over bloated claims and nice straightforward usage: but no luck! For reference I'm very capable technically speaking. I've been building, configuring PCs since before Windows 95. We have 5 PCs and 3 laptops in my house. So I generally know what I'm doing. I could not get this to work. The supplied driver CD is of little use to 99% of users. However Windows does automatically recognise and install a driver for it (dated 2016 I believe) and it seems to work except it couldn't see my WiFi network. Every other device does including phones and tablets in this part of the house (which is close to the router, next room same floor). There's no specific link to this exact product on their website, it's just a general link to their homepage. Still it's not that hard to locate the drivers in the UK section even though they seemed pretty old (2018, 7 years old). Installed and it saw the WiFi but refused to connect. First time it said "cannot connect" and 2nd attempt crashed the computer. Then tried the US version of the drivers, newer, dated 2020 I believe. The installer locked up at 90%, just sat there even after 20 minutes it wouldn't proceed. Still you can easily point Windows to the driver files and it happily installs them. This saw the network, allowed me to connect but then reported there wasn't any internet available. Then I tried the International drivers which were newer, 2021 I believe. These saw the WiFi but refused to connect; the same issue as the UK driver. After more than an hour of faffing around (maybe 2 hours) it was all completely pointless. Why would they supply a CD in 2025? Why not a USB stick or memory card? Why a link to the homepage of their website and not this specific product? What was the point in sticking to a brand name if it's this much hassle? In addition the version number (critical for driver downloads) is not written on the device itself. There's lots of information printed on there but not this crucially important part! Thankfully it's on the sticker on the box so DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY! For reference this is Version 3 (V3.0) of the TL-WN725N(EU).

Good product but delivery was bad. Although we were at home, the courier just left the parcel on our doorstep. Didn't even ring the bell or knock on the door. Delivery picture is not correct either - not our front door or parcel!

Worked with my linux machine. No setup or packages required. Just plug in.

Very happy that this works with linux kernel out of the box, unfortunately internet speeds aren't great, but perhaps that is understandable for the small size.

Works as advertised, perfect for the Rigol DH0804 oscilloscope. Be aware, you can't just plug it into the USB and expect it to work, you need to follow the youtube videos to make it work. You need an USB hub and a keyboard (you can use your touch screen as a mouse), you need to access the settings, use the youtube videos if unsure how to do this, but if you do it right, it's done within 1-5 minutes. Works as a charm.

Perfect for an old computer that has no WiFi capabilities. Had an old computer that had no more windows support since Windows 7. Installed Linux, put this adapter into the USB A port and saved the computer from the landfill. It runs very well on the internet with this USB WiFi adapter. The adapter works on Linux, Windows and Mac. It comes with a CD driver in case you can't get one before an internet connection. It is not super fast because it is USB 2.0 but its quick enough to do anything except maybe on-line gaming. Easier than running Ethernet cables if there is no wall jack close by. you don't need to disassemble your computer to install a WIFI card, just plug and play. Good price. Would buy again.

C'est réellement plug and play: à peine insérée dans un port USB2 sur un vieil ordi sous Lubuntu, la clé est reconnue et fonctionne sans délai et sans rien installer (du moins en apparence). On voit directement les réseaux disponibles; plus qu'à se connecter !
