TendaN150 USB WiFi Adapter for PC Desktop Wireless Network, 802.11n Nano Mini WiFi Dongle, Plug and Play - W311MI V2.0

When the wifi card in my desktop computer slowed down to single digit speed on downloads, it was time to replace it. This Tenda AX1800 dongle was the best answer - especially at about $20 as an Amazon Prime member. I am getting good speed - even 45 feet away from the router through interior walls and doors. The device also comes with a 3 year warranty. I based my choice for Tenda on personal experience. I was already using another Tenda 1300 on a different computer and that's been going strong for years. I expect this one to last for years as well.

The 1st one I order refuse to hold a connection. I called customer service and they were quick to say return it for another one. The new has been working for a week. It has an annoying trait of turning off when not in use. Speed is fine, but not as good as it could be since the laptop has only usb 2.0 and not 3. Few of the new laptops I have looked at have usb 3.

It works perfect for what I'm using it for. I have a secondary computer that was fairly new and when I was switching out the Wi-Fi card to a better one, wire on one of them snapped (wire on board). The computer was a budget model and didn't feel like buying another one or paying a professional to fuse the wire back to the board. Purchased this.it works perfect. Connects to Wi-Fi 6 and no more errors. Very easy to install, but I downloaded the install firmware from their website first. speed are good and everything loads quicker and snappy. For my needs, it's perfect. For the price, no complaints.

So I did not contact tech support. Maybe it would have helped, but there's too much that I feel is wrong.1. The box says driver free. - But you are instructed to download a driver. ????2. The box has a sticker on the back to contact support. This was something they had to have printed then stuck on the back of the product.Now that tells me two things, 1) at least they are trying to fix a known issue. And 2) they have had design issues and something's not working.I followed the instructions provided. Once I plugged it in to my PC, an icon popped up notifying me of a new drive. I tried to right-click but the wheel kept spinning, never doing anything. Freezing up file explorer and not allowing me to do anything else.Unplugged, tried again, same thing. But now the icon was more fleshed out to an image. Progress?I downloaded the driver for this driver-less device. Did the install, now I can't even get an icon.Restarted the computer as directed. It froze up during restart, had to do it again.Still didn't work. Left the USB plugged in, frustrated I thought I'd try it later.A couple of hours later, success! It worked!For less than a half hour I had wi-fi.I could have contacted support, I did not.I bought a 40' cat6 Ethernet cord for 1/3rd the price. I will return this tomorrow.Direct connection is better anyway, had I done that in the first place, I'd be enjoying the fiber internet I'm paying for.

The Tenda WiFi 6 Adapter (U18) is a remarkable solution for boosting WiFi reception on laptops. The installation process is incredibly straightforward, making it a breeze to set up. Personally, this adapter has been a game-changer for me, as it resolved a major WiFi reception issue I was facing. The dual-band WiFi 6 technology ensures fast and stable connections, while the compact design makes it a perfect fit for any desktop PC or laptop. Furthermore, the Tenda U18 offers excellent value for the price, making it an affordable and effective solution for enhancing your wireless connectivity.

My Wifi adapter for my PC broke and although I had others they did not work like Tenda and that was the brand that broke so I purchased this Tenda Wifi adapted and it's perfect.....stay with what works cause there are a lot of different adapters out there and you have to find out which one is best for your device. Thank you Tenda.

Got this adapter to get a netbook (asus-1005) connected to my n-network.First had to copy the cd-files onto a usb stick, but that's not really an issue. I knew the netbook was without a CD drive to begin with :-)After inserting the adapter, installing the drivers, the network will recognize my n-network ssid, but will not give out an IP address. Not seeing any incoming requests for ip addresses, so i'm assuming the adapter can't 'talk' to my router (DIR-655). Either using the supplied config tool, or the standard Windows network connection thinger, no luck. And yes, the network security and password was set correctly.So, will try this on another laptop, and see if it has the same problem - but for now it's a 2-star review. I'm sure it works for others, but 'buyer beware'.

I've bought this one to connect a Raspberry Pi to the internet. Had a few issues, such as:- The adapter would not stay connected for more than a few minutes;- The signal was too weak (at 3ft from the router);- It seemed to pick up interference from the wireless keyboard (not confirmed).I switched from channel 13 to a lower channel in my router and got a better (but still not very good) signal. The connection drops seemed to be related to the USB hub, had to use the USB port in the Pi itself. After that I got a more stable connection.Other than that, it worked in Raspbian, Openelec, and Windows 8. Plug-and-play. Seems to be a good adapter, as long as you don't go too far from your router.It also heats up a lot. Not sure if it's a problem, but surely seems like a waste of energy.[EDIT] Well... after some more tests, I decided to take another star off. The adapter is good enough for browsing the web, but not for media streaming. Some files will stream reasonably well but stutter occasionally. Higher bitrate files will just keep stuttering all the time. The adapter and the router are in adjacent rooms, I would expect a better connection. Back to wired for now...
