Cons:
Drivers: Pick up the latest drivers at the unofficial site mentioned by the first reviewer. Good tip. Thanks!
Pros: Works well. Antenna is just outside the computer case so it has longer range than internal cards. Running XP on a Dell C400. |

Cons:
The TP-LINK factory drivers (on supplied CD and download from TP-LINK manufacturer web) are extremely old. Probably won't even handle WPA2/AES, although I am not 100% sure. I didn't bother to install it after checking out the date of the driver.
Pros: Good sensitivity, lock on to TL-WR741N Access Point at 130 Mbps quickly and without fuzz. Modern looking blue LEDs. Comment:
Good sensitivity, lock on to TL-WR741N Access Point at 130 Mbps quickly and holding. Modern looking blue LEDs.Use Atheros AR5008 driver from the unofficial website http://www.atheros.cz/ because the official Atheros website http://www.atheros.com/ do not provide drivers to any end users.Good upgrade for CardBus 802.11B/G to 802.11N, especially for older laptops that have CardBus/PCMCIA slots.The driver from the .cz unofficial Atheros webiste is 2009 version and Microsoft WHQL, version 7.7.0.xxx, for XP and Vista, for 32-bits and 64-bits, WPA2 and AES capable.Speedtest 18 Mpbs/0.95 Mbps, Vancouver to Spokane, on Shaw Extreme, on an old ThinkPad R40 2.2GHz Pentium 4M. |
Useful product. Runs fine under XP. I have not checked but the unofficial site may have drivers for Windows 7.
