Great, form factor, lots of bandwidth
Great device, worked straight out of the bus and fixed a laptop where the onboard WiFi had broken. Small and powerful too with lots of bandwidth

Works perfectly straight from the box!
I bought this as my Gigabite switch gave up the ghost, leaving me with no internet on my old PC. Dongle worked straight from the box and gave my PC WiFi capability — for the first time in decades!

Wireless dongle adaptor
This wireless PC dongle works really well, connected to the internet fast it was just plug and play, so set up was really easy. I would recommend this for anyone with an older PC that doesn't have a WiFi connection built-in.

Hello there,
The supplier has advised for the TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300 Wireless USB Adapter/Dongle for PC:
Will it allow the laptop to connect to the Sky router? Yes, the Archer T3U is a dual-band AC1300 USB adapter that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals. Since the laptop can already connect to the internet via a cable, the router itself is functioning correctly. The Archer T3U should be able to detect and connect to the Sky router's WiFi signals where the older internal card cannot.
Will it work out of the box? Most TP-Link network adapters are plug-and-play, as many operating systems — including Windows 10 — include built-in drivers. Simply plugging the adapter into a USB port should allow it to be detected automatically. If it is not automatically detected, the driver can be manually installed by visiting https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/,... searching for "Archer T3U", selecting the correct hardware version, and downloading the appropriate Windows 10 driver. Full installation guidance is available at https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2431/....
Do they need to disable the internal WiFi card? It is not strictly required upfront, but if there are any issues detecting or connecting to the WiFi network after plugging in the Archer T3U, we recommend disabling the laptop's internal wireless adapter so that only the TP-Link adapter is active. This can help avoid conflicts between the two adapters and ensure the Archer T3U works correctly.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Percy,
Thanks for your question.
The Archer T3U is a USB Wi‑Fi adapter and is designed to provide Wi‑Fi connectivity for a computer. It does not function as a router or as a source for mobile phone tethering.
If your GL.iNet SFT1200 router is broadcasting a Wi‑Fi network, the Archer T3U can be used on a compatible computer to connect to that Wi‑Fi network.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
TP-Link UK Limited.

Hello Mickey,
The TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300 Wireless USB Adapter/Dongle for PC has no separate subscription or service charge. It draws a small amount of power from your computer's USB port, so the only ongoing cost would be a minimal increase in your computer's electricity use.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hello San,
No, it is not officially compatible out of the box, but it can be made to work perfectly using free third-party open-source drivers.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Pete,
The TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300 USB WiFi Adapter is designed only for Windows and macOS computers and will not work with a Hitachi V15867992 TV.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Ben,
Unfortunately, this is not recommended. The Archer T3U is designed specifically for use with computers, and its official drivers are built for computer operating systems. Drivers compatible with other devices — such as gaming peripherals like a steering wheel — are not available.
If you're looking to add wireless connectivity to a PC for gaming purposes, the Archer T3U would work great as a Wi-Fi adapter for your computer. However, it cannot be used directly with a gaming steering wheel or similar non-computer devices.
Thanks for using Q&A.

Hello Shoaib,
I can advise the TP-Link Archer T3U AC1300 Wireless USB Adapter/Dongle for PC is designed primarily for computers (Windows/macOS) and won't work on a PSP.
