TP-LINK TL-WN751ND 150 Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter

I bought this to replace an old Netgear WG111v2 USB adapter on our 'back up' PC. This is in an upstairs back bedroom and the router, a Sky Sagecom F@ST2504n, is on the ground floor near the front of the house some 9 metres or so away- via a couple of internal walls and a floor. Installation consisted of plugging in the card, inserting the CD, selecting the model number of the card and the installation software does the rest; the only additional action required being to select one from the list of connections it finds and key in the appropriate password. It really could not be much more straightforward.Other people have commented on poor signal strength but I have not found this to be the case. The number of potential connections (one supposes they're routers in the neighbouring houses- which are all detached in our road) is greater than those displayed by either my iphone or ipad, and the software indicator consistently puts it at around 85% for my own router connection.Using a broadband speed testing service, the download and upload speeds of the Wi-Fi connected 'back up' PC and my main PC which is connected to the router via an ethernet cable are identical. (D/load ~6.7 Mb/s and upload ~0.7 Mb/s. I'm no expert so it may be that these tests only reflect the performance of the router outwards in which case I suppose one shouldn't be surprised that this is the case).It's early days but so far no reliabilty, or indeed any other issues have arisen. If your circumstances are similar to mine this would seem an excellent value-for-money solution.

Arrived a day early so I'm happy. Easy enough installation. Used to have a laptop but built a gaming pc instead. Was using a ethernet cable which ran all the way up the stairs and looked hideous so I bought this! Ethernet internet speed was 100Mb/s with 200-400kb/s download speed (I know I need to change, 200kb/s is disgusting!) and this wireless adapter gets 54Mb/s with the same download speed. But there is no noticeable difference in internet speed. I'm using the computer far from the router so I average around 2-3 bars for my connection but it's still good. I probably will not get rid of the ethernet cable just yet in case the adapter stops working for any reason. Once I change my ISP I will try it out with the cable and without to see which is better and stick with the best. So overall: Great for the price! PS: The antenna is also detachable (some reviews said that it is not)

Got this a while ago to update my internet card and it works completely fine, not sure if it's running at max efficiency due to me having mostly old parts but it's up-to-date with the latest routers so it helps to keep things running a bit more smoothly, it disconnects far less than the older card (which is only once or twice a month compared to the couple times a week), and helps re-connects more quickly back to BT when they go down for maintenance work for up to an hour, soon as they have done it's back on straight away, i love how good wireless cards are getting. The router is downstairs in the sitting room too so it's quite a distance away but my connection is still Very Good *as it says on my wireless connection icon*. It is very fast and helps me reach further speeds, it increased to 35 mbps (that's download speed for the average internet browsing from using Speed Test) and when i'm downloading Steam games it fluctuates mostly around 450 mpbs but can reach up to 650 mbps but only for brief moments, (so average is 450)it fluctuates with how many people are on though so at some points of the day it will slow down obviously, generally it's still very fast even when the speeds go slower though thanks to this card :).

I bought this product to use as a backup incase my current one malfunctions. I only had it in the computer for 30 minutes or so in order to test, and run some benchmarks. what i did experiance from this wireless adapter was a surprisingly high speed considering it to only had the 1 Antenna. The Adapter was extremely easy to insert into the computer, and the antenna is packaged individually, and screws into the adapter once inserted removing the risk of snapping (happened to a previous adapter i bought). I highly recommend using TP-LINK for anything concerning Wireless, or Connectivity. This is a very reliable company, and since using their products have since refused to purchase from any other manufacturer.

Well after breaking my USB adapter I decided to get one that does not hang out the back of the PC. So, I got this one from TP-Link as its a PCi card with just the antenna out the back. Perfect! ... or so I thought.Driver and utility issues. The driver version that comes with this was V2. which at the time of writing this is the latest version. I'm now stuck with a card I cant use. The utility software does not work at all and the driver appears to install ok, but doesn't. Manual install of driver makes the card work but does not find any networks! (even though its next to my router!).If you are using Win7 look at others as its a major issue getting this card to function. 4 days in and still not working, tech support from TP-Link is not the best, 2 days to respond with an answer that I have already done!.I should have listened to others who said avoid TP-Link.

I now have 2 of these in the house along with the the TP-Link TL-ANT2405C 2.4GHz 5dbi Indoor Omni-Directional Antenna on both.Both installed easily and with the antenna on the furthest aways pc gets a decent signal 4-5 in my house.I have tested it on both windows 7 and (Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 14 Mate) both 64bit when istalling both OS's the networkcard is picked up and avaiable from base ISO burn so no problems there.All is good.

Love the ATH chipset!

L'ho montato su un PC relativamente vecchio, con sistema Windows XP Home. L'istallazione è semplicissima, basta un cacciavite, un minimo di manualità ed un po' d'occhio. La staffa di montaggio in dotazione è commisurata per case di larghezza normale, non mini o ribassati. Ho istallato solo i drivers lasciando alla dotazione del sistema operativo la gestione della rete wifi.Il guadagno del segnale non è eccezionale ma è comunque sufficiente ad usare l'apparato anche con il router posto a diversi metri di distanza, purché non vi siano interposti ostacoli di una certa rilevanza, come muri. La prestazione è più che decorosa per un utilizzo del web di normale livello. Non l'ho provato con riproduzioni in streaming ad alta risoluzione, anche per gli intrinseci limiti della linea (hotspot con cellulare) più che di quelli della scheda, ma nel complesso la ritengo più che soddisfacente.In rapporto al prezzo lo consiglio vivamente, anche in considerazione del fatto che l'antenna è rimovibile (fissaggio tramite una piccola ghiera) ed è pertanto possibile ampliare il range di ricezione montando un'antenna di migliori caratteristiche al posto di quella nativa.Spedizione rapidissima e confezionamento adeguato.

buen funcionamiento,facil instalación,sin problemas,buena recepción señal de wi-fi, buena velocitat de transmisión de datos a un precio muy bueno.Muy recomendable.

Achat réalisé suite à un pb. de compatibilité d'une vielle carte Netgear avec Windows 8. Après consulation du site WEB de TP-link (qui indique dans une note technique de support la procédure à suivre pour une installation sous Windows8) et vérification sur le site de compatibilité Microsoft, l'installation s'est déroulée sans aucun pb.En fait, il ne faut surtout pas installer les drivers qui viennent avec le produit sur un CD ou les drivers téléchargés sur Internet. Il faut procéder de la manière suivante en environnement Windows 8 :1) Mettre à jour Windows8 à partir d'une connexion filaire Ethernet classique (toutes les mises à jour disponibles/possibles)2) Eteindre le PC3) Installer la carte dans un slot PCI dispo4) Redémarrer Windows8 et laisser le plug-and-play travailler et détecter proprement la carte5) Configurer les paramètres classiques suite au rédémarrage (réseau Wifi, clé WEP, etc...)Au niveau qualité de réception, un léger gain constaté par rapport à l'ancienne carte (qui était 54 Mbps). Cette carte TP-link fonctionne très bien sur ma Freebox V5. L'antenne standard a été suffisante dans mon cas, mais il n'y a pas de murs en plomb ou en béton armé entre le PC et ma Freebox. A 12,7 € c'est un achat parfait pour mon usage.

Ich habe mir diese Karte als Ersatz gekauft, weil die alte nach einem Wechsel auf Windows 7 plötzlich nicht mehr erkannt wurde. Und da auch ein manuelles installieren der Treiber nicht den gewünschten Erfolg brachte, musste eine neue her.Nach einigen Recherchen fiel die Wahl auf die TL-WN751ND. Preiswert und man findet sehr wenige "Problemthreads" in den diversen Foren.Also bestellt, wie immer schnell geliefert und sofort eingebaut.Den Rechner gestartet, die Karte wurde sofort erkannt, die Treiber unter Windows 7 HP wurden automatisch installiert und seitdem tut die Karte zuverlässig ihren täglichen Dienst.Ordentlicher WLAN-Empfang unter nicht ganz optimalen Bedingungen, keine Abbrüche... was will man mehr...Also für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
