Review: ✅ Very Fast & Stable - For the longest time, I never bothered with wireless. As someone who games on PC, even the slightest delay or random ping spikes would throw me off, and sometimes something on my desk would also get thrown off. However since I’ve moved, I decided to clean everything up better, less cables here there & everywhere. So my setup is basically my main internet router, with the wireless disabled. That is directly connected to the TP-Link Archer AX20. And that is what handles all the wireless stuff as it’s obviously better all round than a standard internet router. Anyway with this T3U Plus connected to 5GHz, I literally get the exact same speeds and ping as a direct Ethernet connection. My internet isn’t the fastest, but the wireless stats are the same speeds. Maybe it’s due to WiFi 6, but I’ll be keeping this and I can feel comfortable playing games. Setting up was easy, just plug it into a 3.0 USB port and it’s up and running straight away, you’ll see the WiFi icon (or search for it) then connect. There will be a note mentioning how it can run faster in a 3.0 USB port. I was confused as I was sure I put it in one, and I did, the message just remains there I guess. So yeah guys, WiFi isn’t as bad or unpredictable as it was years ago. Overall it works well, good value for money, it’s not too big, very happy with it.
Review: TP-Link Archer T3U Plus WiFi Dongle, AC1300: The Wi-Fi Whisperer - If your Wi-Fi signal was a party, the TP-Link Archer T3U Plus would be the DJ that suddenly makes everything better. You know, the one who walks in with a magical USB stick and instantly turns your weak, sad connection into a smooth, fast, and reliable one. It’s like Wi-Fi 2.0—faster, stronger, and better looking. First of all, let’s talk setup: It’s so easy, I almost feel like I cheated. Plug it in, wait for the drivers to install, and bam—you're surfing the web like you’ve just discovered the internet again. It’s like the dongle waved a magic wand and told your device, “You’re going to get the best signal in town, my friend.” And let’s not forget range. I’m talking about a Wi-Fi connection so strong it could reach across the room, through walls, and even through the neighbor’s house. My Wi-Fi now reaches places I thought were forever lost to the digital void. If Wi-Fi were a superhero, this dongle would be the one who flies through walls to rescue your connection, no cape required. The speed? AC1300. That's a fancy way of saying it's like your Wi-Fi is on a caffeine rush. Buffering? That’s for people who still have dial-up. Streaming? Smooth as butter. Gaming? Lag who? In short, if your Wi-Fi has been throwing a tantrum, get the TP-Link Archer T3U Plus. It’ll fix your connection faster than you can say "buffering." It's like giving your device a Wi-Fi makeover—one that actually works.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with windows 10? Also will this cope playing online games like Rust or Ark?**
A: I bought the N300 Mbps Exquisite and it was bad for videogames. I tried playing an FPS game and the ping/latency was unchanged from using the ethernet cable before and afterwards but it experienced packet loss and was laggy and unplayable.

**Q: I have a sky router at the moment - i plug this into my PC to pick up the wifi signal to get the internet on my PC?**
A: Correct - you may need to load the disc that comes with the router into your PC and go through the installation process. You will also then need to log your router onto your WiFi Hub (which means you will need password etc details, usually on the back of the Hub).We have had ours for a couple of months and it works very well.

**Q: Will this help with bad Wi-Fi on holiday (Menorca)**
A: It can't improve the Wi-Fi signal but it will make the most of whatever is available as it's a good dongle.

**Q: is it compatible with Ubuntu?**
A: Not tried it - mine is a Windows device.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Credit where credit is due
*by K***R on 10 January 2026*

Credit where credit is due, this is more than worth the price. I spent £50~ on a wireless adapter that was unreliable, had instant issues and needed replacing immediately. So I took a chance on this, not expecting much and to my delight I found it to be reliable. Obviously, I'd prefer something faster to make the most use out of my internet speeds but again, credit where credit is due, this was delightfully stable, quick enough and VERY cheap.
