TP-Link 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

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.

Its compatibility with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 and Mac OS 10.15 and earlier ensures broad usability across older and modern systems. The USB 2.0 interface is not the fastest available, but it handles most daily tasks without noticeable lag. The inclusion of MU-MIMO technology enhances throughput and stability when used with compatible routers, while WPA3 security offers peace of mind for more secure connections.What stands out most is the nano design—it’s nearly flush with the USB port, making it perfect for laptops or PCs where space and portability matter. Setup is straightforward, and driver installation is quick for most users.Overall, the Archer T3U Nano offers excellent value for money, delivering strong performance and security in an ultra-small package. It’s a great choice for upgrading older devices or as a travel-friendly wireless solution. Very happy with it :)

It is pretty cheap and compact but works very well for its price tag. It does disconnct me from time to time, but I would've expected worse for something so affordable. Just pull it out and put it back in again. It feels great and is pretty quick to install on your pc. When thats done, you just plug it in.Though you should plug it in at the back of the pc where the fans are as this little thing can get a bit warm and that seems to mess with its connectivity. Thats what I understood after plugging it in my front port after it was in my back port. It then seems to get warm and was having a worse connection so I put it back in the back port where the fans cooled it and the connectivity improved.Another thing though, it is a very small usb. Great profile and not noticable, but difficult to pull out of the back of your pc as it is hard to grip. Which is why moved it to the front in the first place.Those complaining are honestly just whining. Again. It is super cheap. Be happy it works so well fo its price. Buy a more expensive 1 and go complain about how that 1 isn't perfect either.I will get an expensive more powerful 1 at some point but this 1 really goes beyond what I was expecting.

I bought the TP-LINK TL-WN725N Nano adapter for its wireless N capability as my Asus EeePC 1001P only has wireless b/g built-in and I recently bought a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit CABLE Router (2 UBS Ports for Storage Sharing, Media/Print Server, IPv6). My EeePC runs Windows XP and Debian 7.It turns out that the TP-LINK TL-WN725N comes in two versions, V1 and V2. They look identical but use different wireless chips. If you get a V1 it will work out of the box in any typical Linux based operating system. If you get V2 you will need to build and install a driver module. Luckily this is very easy. You can find some information on the V2 at wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN725N_v2 and download a driver and see install instructions at github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.Building and installing the driver just takes a couple of commands and a few minutes. You need kernel headers installed and make and gcc (and optionally checkinstall). Unpack the driver archive, cd into the directory and run `make all`, then as root or using sudo run 'checkinstall --pkgname=rtl8188eu --pkgversion="1:$(date +%Y%m%d)-git"` if you like checkinstall and `make install` if you prefer not to use it. If using checkinstall that should build a versioned, dated package and install the driver, copy the firmware to the right place and do so such that your OS package manager knows about it so you can uninstall it cleanly, upgrade without issues, or use the driver and firmware package on other computers running the same OS and hardware.Even on my low power EeePC this only took a couple of minutes. Once it was done I reconnected the TP-LINK Nano to a USB port and immediately the device became available in Network Manager and I connected to my N network without any issue.My next task was to try the Nano in Windows XP. The Nano comes with a mini-CD containing Windows drivers and utilities but the EeePC doesn't have a CD drive so I downloaded the same driver pack from the manufacturer's web site and unzipped it. On connecting the Nano to a USB port Windows detects the device and offers to check Windows Update, search for a driver and install one automatically if found. I was interested to see if this convenient feature would succeed so went ahead. It couldn't find a driver but instead hardware wizard hung and had to be force closed via Task manager. Doh! I restarted the "Found New Hardware Wizard" and this time specified where to look. It failed again and again had to be forced closed. Next I used TP-Link's setup utility and selected to install only the driver (no extra software). This worked fine, at which point Windows' "Found New Hardware Wizard" launched itself and got in the bl***y way. Anyway the driver installed successfully and the wireless interface appeared in the system tray and I connected to my N router. Success!It's been a very long time since I connected anything to a Debian PC and found there wasn't a driver or firmware automatically loaded or easily available so at first I was a bit worried I might run into problems. Actually the driver build and install is really easy and quick and didn't take any longer than faffing around with XP's hit and miss new hardware wizard. If you run Windows XP just use the TP-Link setup application and save yourself a few minutes of aggravation or tedium. I believe Windows 7 will manage this all much more competently but haven't tried it myself.The Nano seems fine to me. I like that TP-Link's set up utility allows you to install either the driver only or the driver with TP-Link's utilities. The Nano is very good value and tiny enough that it can stay permanently in place even while my EeePC is in a snug case, and I can now set my wireless router to use N instead of B/G and get better speeds on all clients.edit: I just tried it with a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded the driver from TP-Link, ran the setup and the Nano works perfectly. Whichever operating system I use the Nano reliably connects to my N network at a nominal 150 mbps. I get very good speeds, almost as good as using a wired 100 mbps LAN, so this is great for file transfers and streaming 720p video and similar tasks which had sometimes been slow and frustrating with wireless g.

I recently purchased the TP-Link 150 Mbps Wireless Nano USB Adapter, and it has been a fantastic addition to my setup.Firstly, the compact size is a major plus. The Nano design allows it to be plugged in without blocking other USB ports, and it's discreet enough to leave connected to my laptop without any inconvenience.The setup was incredibly straightforward. I simply plugged it in, installed the necessary drivers, and was connected to Wi-Fi within minutes. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the process hassle-free.In terms of performance, this little dongle delivers solid and reliable internet connectivity. Operating on the 2.4 GHz band, it provides a stable connection with good range, even in areas of my house where the signal can be weak. The 150 Mbps speed is sufficient for everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, and video calls.Overall, the TP-Link Wireless Nano USB Adapter is an excellent choice for anyone needing a quick and effective Wi-Fi solution. Its compact size, ease of use, and reliable performance make it a great value for the price.
