Reddit reviews TP-Link USB Wifi Adapter for PC N150 Wireless Network Adapter for Desktop - Nano Size Wifi Dongle Compatible with Windows 10/7/8/8.1/XP/ Mac OS 10.9-10.15 Linux Kernel 2.6.18-4.4.3 (TL-WN725N)

No, you need Wi-Fi of some sort. If you can't add a Wi-Fi router, you might be able to purchase an inexpensive dongle (like this one) and run a Wi-Fi network from your computer. Otherwise, you'll have to rely on public Wi-Fi networks like at a library or restaurant.

The wifi card might have been damaged or disconnected from the antenna cables. You'll need to open the laptop to get to it. Or you could buy a usb wifi adapter. Like this thing for instance

Thank you! I've just tested a TP-Link TL-WN725N that I use on my SNES Classic, and I was able to go online in RetroArch on the PS Classic!

Here's an Amazon link to the TL-WN725N.

I've also tested a TP-Link Archer T9UH just for the hell of it, which did not work, as I expected.

EDIT: Also for the hell of it, I have just tested a Cable Matters USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter, that I use on my Raspberry Pi Zero W, and it works on the PS Classic too!

Here's an Amazon link to the USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter.

I have a T440p (High Sierra and Linux Mint dual boot) also and Wi-Fi isn't working, Lenovo has a whitelist for Hardware, so changing the Wi-Fi card is not that easy. I just use a Wi-Fi dongle -> https://www.amazon.es/TP-LINK-TL-WN823N-adaptador-inalámbrico-10-7-10-11/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=usb%2Bwifi&qid=1564018664&s=computers&sr=1-3&th=1

​

VGA port is also useless.

Just get a USB wifi adapter. Something like this or if you want one thats smaller and less in the way you can get this one. The smaller one probably has less range and lower max speed.

Or if you have extra expansion slots and need faster wifi you can get a PCIe wifi card like this.

NOTE: I haven't done much research on this so the listed products are just examples of the types of solutions available. By no means am I recommending these as the best in their respective classes. I just own TP-link stuff and trust them is all.

As long as you stay away from no-name Chinese stuff it should be fine. I recently bought this TP-Link for $10.

It worked with my settings as soon as I plugged it in, the speed is great, and though my WAP is sitting on my desk, I can connect and get good speed from the WAP in my wife's office completely on the other side of the house.

TP-LINK you will NOT find a better adapter.

Try Wireless USB Adapter. Simply plug the device into laptop's USB port. The price of 498 right now at Amazon is over priced. You could get it at cheaper price at offline computer shop

Wireless USB dongle?

Something like this -

TP-Link N150 Wireless Nano USB Adapter (TL-WN725N) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jEf6yb1KGKVK5

You have a couple of options: Internal wireless card, or USB wireless card.

there's tons of different brands and price-points, but they essentially do the same thing. If you want to find more, on Amazon or ebay or whatever search "PCI Wireless card' for the internal, and "USB Wireless card" for the USB one.

Im using the TP Link 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter (Model No. TL-WN725N)

But I must say I tried OpenElec and Xbian, and I only managed to get it working on OpenElec because it worked 'Out-of-the-Box' :)

The adapters I mention in the video are the ones I personally use. The OTG adapter is not the best choice but it's worked for me so far. The wifi adapter has been used by a few of the members at Hakchi Resources and is verified to work.

Thank you very much for helping me improve my chances!

• Model: Raspberry Pi 3 B+
  
• OS: Raspbian Stretch
  
• VPN Software: TOR
  
• USB Network Interface: TP-Link TL-WN725N
  
• USB Network Interface Firmware: Realtek RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter (I think, according to lsusb results)
  
  So do you think I just need to run a command to restart the USB port? Why doesn't it just do that on startup?
  
  ​

Others have stated that TP-Link is a good bet, personnally i have 5 or 6 of these on my various machines at home, works out of the box every time (tested on Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Raspbian).

Thanks! I'm gonna set it up. The same adapter is on Amazon, too.

Hola hotpinkfishfood!

Welcome back! You've been missed! <3

Over the past month I've been getting my life together as much as possible and working on moving out of my (now)ex's family's home. (So, biggest thing that's happened to me since you've been gone is breaking off an engagement. :p)

But I've been getting a lot things accomplished for myself.. like, trying hard with meds and mindset to fix my anxiety/panic that has been on the fritz. So much that I've been able to leave the house and eat out a bit (wasn't able to do that for a while).

I even signed up for full time classes again for the first time in a couple of years. AND applied for sone jobs. (Huge step for me)

Or if you still have the other one you tried....what was the problem??

In my experience, TP-Link TL-WN725N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter works out of the box for Linux. I have the same specs:

broadcom bcm43142 chipset and Ubuntu 16.04
Here is the link

Eh, this tip, especially for the samba server would have been good.
I was a bit on a budget, but needed wifi (for pi2 location, far from router, on top of a furniture), so I purchased a TP-LINK TL-WN725N Wireless Adapter 150Mbps.
It should reach the effective ~20MB/s.
Thanks for the tip tho, I may buy it when I'll switch the 64GB USB Stick for a proper HDD.

There are several websites out there that deal specifically with Linux hardware like ThinkPenguin but you would probably have luck just searching "Linux Nano Wifi Dongle" in something like Amazon or AliExpress. I have had luck with TP Link Dongles

Do you need a new router? If there's a PC of any kind in your house you should be able to just buy a £5 wireless USB dongle and have it run as a hotspot sharing that PC's connection.

So buying and using a wifi USB Adapter, like this, will solve the problem?

Not an answer but you know that you can get a USB WiFi dongle for your laptop for $10 right? Something to consider

> You just need a wifi adapter, either internal PCIE, or external USB.

You can't magically make a wired connection wireless, you need to add hardware. A wireless adapter in this case.

Note that I have included a 2TB HDD. If you want 1TB, since you posted yourself, the price goes down to 81,760.

I suspect all you need now is a keyboard and a mouse and a UPS. I left out these things cause the UPS actually depends on the type of PSU you buy. If you go for any seasonic PSU, research well into what UPS is best suited for that PSU.

I highly recommend going on to Linustechtips and post these parts in the build section. People will surely comment and help you even more :)

Good Luck!

You can cheap out on these four things to save some money (but I highly suggest you don't):

1. SSD - Get a 120GB SSD to save some money. You can also drop this completely and get an SSD later when they become somewhat cheap. Only downside: Somewhat slower boot-up time and loading times.
   
   
2. CPU - Get Ryzen 5 1400. This has less core and threads than 1600 but is cheaper and still good :D
   
   
3. Video Card - Get the 1050 non-TI version. 4-5000 Cheaper, but this gets the job done. The only downside: no 1080p gaming @60fps. Actually, it depends on the games too.
   
   
4. PSU - Ha! One of the most overlooked component. You can get cheaper ones with less protection and less stability for half the price. The only downside: Can damage your components, I think, and stability issues.

I have this one it does the job very well: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-N150-Wireless-Adapter-TL-WN725N/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495218324&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=tp+linkusb+wi+fi

Not OP but Is there any difference between using this card and just using say a USB adapter like this

My first recommendation would be to if possible set up an Ethernet connection. That will most likely be your absolute best bet. However, if that is not possible at this time, getting a USB WiFi adapter (can be purchased locally at most tech stores or you can get something like this on Amazon, depending on your ISP's speeds) should serve you well for now.

https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E

Looks like that's all there is to support that bit of hardware. Which, looks like it's a hack to run the device via firmware stripped out of the windows driver. So surely it can't really be legally distributed... But someone has put the bins on github anyway. That the sort of thing distributions just won't risk, for reasons varying from ethics to just not wanting to be sued into oblivion.

Honestly, I wouldn't put a lot of effort into getting this working. I'd probably put a pin in using linux until I got a different notebook, whenever that would be. Sometimes hardware support is just bad.

Or you could try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN725N-wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=usb+wifi&qid=1562035848&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Doesn't seem too horribly obtrusive. I'm sure the range will be pretty bad, cause you can't fit much of an antenna in that little dongle. Keep in mind that only the cheapest one, the single band "150Mb" (like you'll ever manage that on it), is compatible.

Is it a desktop? You'll probably need a wireless adapter of some kind, this is probably the easiest way to get wireless.

For audio download [this driver](http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#High Definition Audio Codecs) and see if it works.

Is there a real tangible difference between the small usb wifi adapter's such as this:http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN725N-Wireless-Adapter-150Mbps/dp/B008IFXQFU?ie=UTF8&keywords=usb%20wifi%20adapter&qid=1462067747&ref_=sr_1_5&s=pc&sr=1-5 compared to a bigger, full-size one like:http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-Archer-T4U-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B00JBJ6VG8?ie=UTF8&keywords=tp%20link%20usb%20wifi&qid=1462067879&ref_=sr_1_5&sr=8-5

The distance between where this PC would be and the router is fairly small, there is only one wall between them.

I've used something like this. It's tiny and I never notice it. The better option is to just connect with an Ethernet cord of course. Faster and less ping.

I changed the parts around a bit. I searched around Newegg a bit more and was able to find a few deals that seemed better. I also should have stated the price has to be lower than $735 before rebates.

This one

This is a good TP Link one. You have to manually install the drivers but after that it's been the best connection I've had with wifi on the pi. I've used the edimax and several others and I like this one best.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IFXQFU/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?qid=1426709490&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=tp+link+300+usb

Literally 10 bucks.


I don't know why you'd need it. I use it for my laptop whose WLAN card got fried.

I did think of that at one point, but I thought that I would be too naive to think that it would be a viable alternative compared to an ethernet cable. This was the one I was thinking of purchasing:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IFXQFU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I know the pi accepts up to 100, but I could only find speeds up to 150Mbps

The only reason I didn't go with the wifi adapter initially was because if Ethernet over HDMI was possible, no need for a WiFi adapter.

Toshiba might still have old drivers lurking on their site; in my experience laptop manufacturers don't particularly care to make these easy to find.

Failing that you could try getting a USB wifi adapter and use that instead of the onboard adapter.

TP-Link USB adapter worked flawlessly for me and everyone I recommended it to for $10. It's tiny and handles whatever. I put it on front of my computer for best signal.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IFXQFU/

I've had issues with few others in the past.

Any little unit like this; https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IFXQFU/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1491194658&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usb+wireless+network+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=31uyNgF8t1L

Latest Clonezilla is using kernel 4.9.6, so in theory anything that's supported in that.

I've got a TP-Link Wireless N dongle that I know is supported in Linux without any extra work, but I'd need to check if Clonezilla itself supports it. I would imagine it would, but you never know.

EDIT: By "I know is supported" I mean I installed Antergos on a box back in January without using it, and when I booted up that box the other night with that adapter installed and the ethernet jack disconnected, it prompted me to choose a wireless network. No extra drivers needed.

Ohhhh, everything makes more sense now lol.

I would suggest this for best performance, or this for cheaper/compact. Not sure how well these will work for live gaming, but they'll work just fine for web browsing and downloading games/programs.

Edit: as for your processor/hard drive choice, I would keep the G4600 and get a small SSD (80-120GB) if possible. That'll make a massive difference to boot times and shouldnt cost more than $50 or so.

Some of those suck really bad, I would say get a good quality PCIE one or this.

Is that a good wifi adapter?

Just wanted to update you. I recently purchased a usb wifi adapter and it worked. I was able to connect the surface to our network and get connectivity. Link below to what I purchased.

It could be the powerline adapter. Can you grab a cheap wifi adapter to test/hold you over until you get the powerline or ethernet figured out?

5ghz wifi base station and set it to bridge mode connect it to the uni wifi and then ethernet cable into your pc. basically it becomes the wifi card but will work a lot better.

2.4ghz has a longer range for transmission receiving as its a lower frequency. Could use a 2.4ghz bridge as well might be better but im sure with enough signal 5ghz should be fine.

USB network cards usually don't have a very good range as they are small, a wifi base station has nice big aerials.

It only supports 150mbps, but I use it on worse WiFi and it works great, just put it in a USB port and you can connect. There are probably versions that can take the full 200mbps out there.

I use coreelec and the N2, and while I use ethernet, my understanding is that coreelec supports several USB-Wifi adapters. This is a good thread on the topic:

https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/working-usb-wifi-ethernet-adapters-for-coreelec/548

For example, looks like this one would work:

If you have PCI slots, these are great:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0713RRZMB/

Intel 802.11ac chip (at least it was when I purchased), regularly sustain 500+ Mbps connections (using Ruckus APs).

These are really nice USB ones as well:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00416Q5KI/

Ralink driver if I remember right. They are Wireless N, but still generally good. Typically about 120 - 175 Mbps connections

I've also used these before if you have strong APs and don't need super fast speed:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/

Expect about 40-60 Mbps connections

Alternatively, there's USB wireless dongles, but the disadvantage is that these take one usb port:

I recommend finding a wireless usb adapter, it's simpler to use imo

the one I could find currently is this

Definitely!
I got this. I made absolutely sure it'd just work right out of the box, and apparently this one does the job nicely.

Thanks for the help. I'm currently at home, but will try that when I get back to school. I found and installed LinSSID. Is there a certain number or range I should look for when I'm monitoring a network? My home network signal seems to be hovering around -10 to 10. I'll look for a manual for the program later to better understand the information.

Can you recommend a usb wireless adapter that would improve my computers ability to capture wifi signals? I have this one I tried at school: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-N150-Wireless-Adapter-TL-WN725N/dp/B008IFXQFU

Unfortunately, it doesn't help my problem at all and I'm willing to spend more money on a better one to solve my problems. Would something like https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-w-external-antenna-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usbl help me?

There is no guarantee that the wifi card itself is why your wifi doesn't work. You would be better off getting a usb wifi adapter. Here is one that is just under 8 bucks.

The powerline adapters? I've looked them up briefly. pc is in the basement, which i did the wiring for and put in a seperate breaker for the wiring down there. Would it still work? Not sure if that makes a difference.

Fyi im trying to play with this thats probably the issue. TP-Link N150 Wireless Nano USB Adapter (TL-WN725N) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4Y3uybZBSM80D

This thing gets horrible connection.

My tplink n300 on my other pc works perfect, other than ping spikes which i have heard is very very common for wifi.

Yeah, last night I was able to find something like this laying around in my room. So I was able to get on the WiFi successfully!

I might end up purchasing one that can find stronger signals, thanks for all your help!!

$8US for a USB wifi adapter.....

this one also works great..

You can buy an external wireless card. This is pretty common when your builtin wireless card stops functioning. If your current wireless card is the issue then a new one will resolve this issue. Here are some examples from amazon:

You can use a PCIe adapter like this or this

or you can use a USB wireless adapter like this or this

Your selection of parts is perfectly acceptable but you should get a branded PSU. From that store the Corsair VS 450W for €39 is a decent choice. Or the 350W if those €3.5 extra matters. So you should choose a different case without a PSU after that.

For wifi dongle the selection from that store is stupidly expensive. €25 for the cheapest one? Even if my shitty country you have a decent selection of decent sub €10 usb dongles. Get one of off amazon.

What piece of hardware are you using that is WiFi capable? I doubt the motherboard has WiFi built into it. Once you find out what you are using for WiFi hardware, just google the model number and download the driver specific to your operating system your using. Or use the disc that came with the hardware.
If you dont have any WiFi capable hardware, you can purchase a cheap USB dongle to help get you by http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN725N-Wireless-Adapter-Miniature/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414948421&sr=8-1&keywords=wireless+usb

I want to get a cheap usb Wi-Fi adapter to use while on vacation so I don't have to run an Ethernet cable through my relative's house. I'm looking for sub $20 on amazon. Would any of these support light multiplayer gaming? I'm showing my family VR games. Cheaper is better because this is probably the only time I'll use it.

OURLINK for $20

TP Link for $10

Wise Tiger for $13

Could be that your NIC died or maybe it's a driver issue. Either way the simplest solution is to buy this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN725N-wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B008IFXQFU if you need a quick fix since troubleshooting issues like these can take a very long time.

This is solely for 2.4g

I have a a Pro 3. Best advice I saw and took was to buy a low profile USB dongle and sacrifice your only USB slot. Haven't looked back.

​

Here is the one I bought. A $20 solution to get your ~$100 solution working isn't too bad, I think.

two options - open up the laptop & make sure the wires for the antenna havent become loose/disconnected, and if so, reconnect them. if that doesnt resolve, then get something like https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN725N-wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B008IFXQFU

If you use an internal one you can prevent yourself form installing another GPU, and in some cases (many microatx boards) you can't have a GPU plus any PCI-e 1x device. Get a USB one. They are easier to install, move around for better signal, and can go from pc to pc with no problems. I'd reccomend http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN725N-Wireless-Adapter-Miniature/dp/B008IFXQFU or http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN722N-Wireless-Adapter-External/dp/B002SZEOLG for cheap ones. The second will have better signal.

We use those ones at work. I carry one in my kit for back up.

There is an Amazon basics one that was less than that. I don't know about the quality.

So the computer is performing amazing however my ping has been fluctuating and going up and down a lot not just in games but when I am browsing also. Any fix to this? I was thinking maybe it's because of the cheap wifi adapter I bought. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-N150-Wireless-Adapter-TL-WN725N/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486612811&sr=8-3&keywords=nano+usb+wifi

Ah, I see. I don't have any personal experience with this one, but it's well reviewed and TP-Link is generally an OK brand.

Thanks for the response. Right now wireless is the only option I have, there are no network cables coming down here. I'm not sure what you mean by network plugs coming through the electrical wiring.

So I have a laptop which I'm using to type to you which has built in wireless, and it functions ok, sometimes crazy spikes of lag but for the most part ok.

My PC is using this and its pretty much useless in terms of getting a stable connection. I'm concerned that its wireless reach is not strong enough to reach through the ceiling to where the router is.

Ideally I'd like to get my PC connected as I use it for most of my day to day work/play.

Okay. This is a bit embarrasing to ask, but if I buy one of those usb-looking wireless adapters like this one, would I not have to purchase a whole wireless card like this one?

Also, I read that you need to buy a WiFi Adapter most likely? DW1560 or DW1830? That sucks if its true... I currently have the killer wireless 1535 wondering if thats compatible? If not, can i purchase a USB Wifi+Bluetooth adapter;

Thanks in advanced!

I’m using this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU

Shouldn’t it handle at least 100?

Thanks, but will this work too? It's cheaper and I have Prime?

​

Also, what kind of dongle will I need? I have this one for the memory card, but I assume I'll need something like this but with two USB ports?

What usb dongle are you using? They have small form factor ones like this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN725N-wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B008IFXQFU?ref_=Oct_BSellerC_13983791_1&pf_rd_p=77c4ee30-f0a9-5bb6-b6f5-56d3a9f5111d&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=13983791&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=BQGGQDFWYJ3PG3K43BGQ&pf_rd_r=BQGGQDFWYJ3PG3K43BGQ&pf_rd_p=77c4ee30-f0a9-5bb6-b6f5-56d3a9f5111d

Ah nuggets, then I'd suggest either this or this

They are still somewhat cheap and should work perfectly with no issues :)

Some motherboards have wifi built in it, but most do not, you need a wifi usb or pci card

wifi

then a wireless network adapter is the way to go This is a good option

this works with linux natively (I have it on my raspberry) but if you want something a little cheaper I bought this for my brother's laptop a while back and it's still working.

A small USB adapter like this could fill in for wifi if it won't be too inconvenient.

Sorry for the confusion:
the hard line in your diagram made me think ethernet.

why have such a crazy config when you can just put out $10.00 and get them all back on a single subnet?

J'ai acheté un dongle wifi TP-Link pour mon Rapsberry Pi à la Coop. C'était 9.99$, enfaite c'est ça le prix qu'Amazon le vend aussi.

J'ai rien dit, mais c'est super utile pour le Pi haha!

Well, yea that's another option - he's just using a USB adapter instead. Like he says in the video, it's only $10:

Sorry then. I don't think I can help you then. :(
Perhaps change your wifi card? Or try this usb wifi receiver or something similar?

I have owned a similar receiver made by the same company but with antenna. I don't think it requires driver. (In fact, the software that came with it made everything worse, so don't install it if you can.) I think(it has been a long time, so don't quote me on that) it worked with my broken window 10 laptop. It's only 7 dollars, so I think you should try it as a temporary solution if you can.

I have a wireless usb adapter on mine to give it that internet connection, like this one. Makes it very handy to copy files from my laptop to the arcade pc and download updates easily.

I am pretty sure I own none of these games! You don't happen to need a Wireless USB adapter do you?

I have an extra one that's brand new and in box I can trade.

I'm guessing you have followed this forum post to try solve the problem, if not, try it. Most probably it's a faulty unit. You could return it back to the supplier you bought it from or get one of these things, a USB WLAN adapter. Only clause is, you'll lose a USB port.
