All-in-one driver installation for Wireless Adapters. Official driver package of TP-LINK, the famous Chinese manufacturer of computer networking hardware products. Installation and UseIf the windows successfully recognized the device, you will instantly be able to access the new wireless networking features. To start using this device properly, you first need to install its latest and most stable driver update. Not only that, older Windows cannot even properly detect it and even establish a network connection to any other nearby wireless network. If you are the owner of the TP-LINK Wireless Adapter Driver device, you will quickly realize that while this networking hardware is marketed as having the blazing fast speeds and rock-solid connectivity, the basic Windows OS cannot take full advantage of its capabilities. TP-LINK TL-WN721N Wireless Adapter Driver V1 () You can find the first useful devices with sufficient system specifications around 5-10 USD, if you'r patient - with new (low-end-) devices starting around 20 USD, either of these will do a much better job, better performance, better reliability, no fuzz.TP-LINK TL-WN721N Wireless Adapter Driver V1 () Download for Windows 10, 8, 7 Any ~decade old OpenWrt supported lowest-end router/ AP can do a massively better job than any USB wireless card, these simply haven't been designed for these tasks (and accordingly their firmware isn't battle-tested for these purposes, which shows).ĭo yourself a favour, skip USB wireless and get a second hand/ cheap ath9k (PCI/ AHB) based (or better) wireless router/ AP capable of running OpenWrt, even if you use them as repeater on the same radio the results will be considerably better than ar9271 or any USB wireless card. I've tried to use ar9271 (in form of a rev 1.0 or 1.1 tl-wn721n) as a second 2.4 GHz radio in AP mode on a tl-wdr4300 for a few years in the past - yes, it kind of 'works', but performance and especially reliability were 'not good™' (to keep it PG13)… Expect stalled connections, client not being able to reconnect, huge delays, it's not pretty. Additionally the on-device RAM of ar9271 is very limited, allowing only a limited number of clients to connect to it in AP mode (4-8) this is a physical limit that can't be extended in software. To be clear, ar9271 is one of the best supported (in the sense of ath9k_htc) USB wireless cards existing, but it still doesn't work acceptably well as AP or in 24/7 operations no USB wireless card does.
