Flawless connection despite other non product issues
I bought this product to connect my home entertainment media as my internet jack and router are physically located in my master bedroom. WPS connected successfully within 15 seconds however my Directv HR24 wouldn't and kept giving me error messages. I logged into the adapter via my laptop, then switched out Ethernet cables to see if it was a wiring issue, still nothing. I also tried my other HD DVR in the bedroom to see if there was a compatibility issue however it connected right away even after resetting defaults on the dvr. I eventually noticed the lights weren't even coming on for the Ethernet port on the HR24 and I googled the model specific Ethernet issues to find that the dvr needed to be reset with the Ethernet cable from a live connection to enable the port. Sure enough, once the power kicked in from reboot, the port lit up and stayed lit. Needless to say, I'm a very satisfied customer! Had I not done further investigation and testing, I would have probably passed this off as a defective/incompatible product as some other customers have previously...Kudos to TP-Link!

Is what it is, does what it says, works great (if you get a non-defective one and know what you're doing)
So far I love it. I did manual setup using my Win 8.1 laptop, and it was pretty simply (for a tech-geek and home-networking guru such as myself). Connected immediately to my 5GHz WiFi network broadcast by my NetGear router. I use this to provide network connectivity to my older-model Xbox 360 (no built-in WiFi) in the guest bedroom next door to the office where the AP is located. I didn't run an official speed test but I was able to easily stream 1080p content on VUDU and Netflix without hiccups or problems. My only complaint with it is that it's not truly "dual band" -- it can connect to a 5GHz network OR a 2.4GHz network, but not both simultaneously. Not a problem for my purposes, but something to be aware of.

Be sure you are looking at the right product
PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY OF THE REVIEWS HERE ARE FOR A DIFFERENT PRODUCT. THIS IS A WIRELESS BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS TO AN ETHERNET PORT. IT IS NOT A USB WIRELESS ADAPTER, IT DOES NOT CREATE A WI-FI NETWORK, AND IT IS NOT PLUG-AND-PLAY AND TAKES SOME SETTING UP. Having said that, I got it to work after some unsuccessful tries and a helpful response from technical support. Be sure to disconnect any and all wireless connections, both USB and bluetooth, before trying to connect to this device. The http://tplinkadapter.net method is what worked. I had better luck making the connection in Windows; but having identified the connections, it now works in Linux too. p.s. The USB wireless adapter that is being referred to in some reviews is probably TL-WDN4200, which is excellent btw.

Works, but cheap fit/finish and some encryption compatibility issues with some routers
Very cheap plastic feeling - it looks like they cut out every expense possible on fit and finish. It also would not link up with my Cisco VEN401-AT 5GHz only video access point if I had any kind of wep/wpa encryption enabled. Once I turned off the encryption - no problem syncing up. After running through the pairing issues - I'm happy to say I was able to convert one of my uverse set to boxes into a wireless receiver for my back porch using this little guy. It's powered ONLY from a usb connector - so have a standard usb power brick or device nearby. For me - there is a usb port on the uverse set top box - which does the job of powering this access point. Knocked off two stars for the lack of compatible encryption and it's very cheap feel, but I wasn't about to send it back once I was able to pump the games out to the patio with the grill!

Works with SHARP aquous 52" quatron TV
My TV has ethernet not wifi. The device is effective after doing set up prompted on the TV. I chose the 5ghz band. After finishing your set up, save it and quickly exit from it. If you linger too long, it will default to the 2.4 ghz band. It's happened to me, but I learned the issue. Set it, save it and exit. I f you linger a while to explore system features, it will default and you may have to set it all up again. My Netgear router has dual band. My previous TV wifi adapter was not a dual band. This one is.

Huge improvement over my game console's built in Wifi
Its wireless delivers max throughput for a 30down/5up connection, it gets the same bandwidth as my wired PC, with a decent 25ms of ping. Signal strength is 60% for both bands at 25ft, so I choose the 5ghz for less interferance. Performance isn't affected on 5ghz despite the below average signal. WPS is easy to connect but choose the 2.4ghz band by default. I had to manually connect it to my PC to select the 5ghz ssid and enter the password, its common for dual band routers to have 2 different ssids.

WiFi
Could not get it to link to my pioneer receiver so I returned it. It did link, sort of, to my Xbox but couldn't see my ISP router which was 30 feet away. I had to move it within 20 foot for it to work. Might have been a defective unit but not willing to try another one.

Wow, it just works!
Connected to Asus RT-N66U router in a few seconds using the WPS button method, and for 1+ week had no issue running a PC and Xbox. It allowed me to move my WiFi router to the middle of the house (in a closet) along with a cable box, to provide better coverage in all rooms, and get rid of wires and stuff from under TV. Highly recommended. Super-easy and quick to set up, and reliable. It's rare to find a product that just works!

Très content de mon achat
Bonjour Ce produit est parfaitement fonctionnel ! j'avais avant acheté un Wifi plug duo d'orange qui occasionné des coupures régulières, une horreur, j'en pouvais plus, cet adapteur compatible double bande sur les 5 Go de la live box play na pas une seule fois déconnecté, je le recommande vivement, vous ne serez pas décu, le débit est sans perte et fonctionne à travers les murs. Merci amazon pour le produit et la livraison rapide Je pense vraiment que c'est le meilleur site d'e-commerce en rapport qualité/prix/rapidité

Perfekt!
An meinem Verstärker hatte sich der originale Wlan-"Dongle" leider für immer verabschiedet - Pioneer verlangt jedoch extrem viel Geld für ein Ersatzgerät. Da ich auch immer schon meinen BR Player, sowie den Sky-Receiver per Wlan an das Internet anbinden wollte, suchte ich nach einem Gerät, mit dem man auch mehrere Geräte gleichzeitig einbinden kann. Dazu sollte es "Plug and Play" sein, also unkompliziert in der Installation, sowie im laufenden Betrieb. Bei dem hier bewerteten Gerät gefiel mir der Preis und die bisherigen Bewertungen. Ein bisschen Bedenken hatte ich nur, ob der Pioneer AV-Receiver das "fremde" Gerät akzeptiert. Das Gerät wurde schnell geliefert. Die Installation war zunächst etwas "tricky", denn die Schnellinstallationsanleitung ist meines Erachtens eher verwirrend, zumal wesentliche Angaben fehlen. Insbesondere die Info, dass der einzige Knopf am Gerät gleichzeitig für die sogenannte WPS Kopplung, als auch für ein Reset dient, man aber auch die Dauer der Sekunden achten muss, wie lange man den Knopf drückt. Ich empfehle daher auch Bedienungsanleitungs-Muffeln einen kurzen Blick in die beigefügte deutsche Anleitung zu werfen (da wird es nämlich beschrieben) oder einfach hier in meine Rezension zu schauen ;-) Entgegen der Schnellanleitung empfiehlt sich folgenden Vorgehensweise, um eine schnelle und erfolgreiche Installation zu erreichen: 1. Den TP Link zunächst ohne Anschluss der Netzwerkkabel nur in die Nähe des Wlan Routers bringen (ich habe die Fritzbox "Cable 6490") 2. Das Gerät an den Strom anschliessen 3. Den Reset / WPS Knopf ca. 6 - 8 Sek drücken (damit erreicht man einen kompletten Reset, was immer gut ist, da man ggf. auch mal ein Gerät erhält, was bereits verwendet wurde und so wird es wieder auf den Werkzustand zurück gesetzt) 4. An der Fritzbox oder dem jeweiligen Router die WPS-Taste drücken 5. Binnen 2 Minuten am TP Link zwei (!) Sekunden die WPS/Reset Taste drücken 6. es blinkt kurz Orange, dann geht die LED aus, dann wird sie blau und kurz danach pulsiert sie dauerhaft und geschmeidig alle paar Sekunden in der Farbe blau Perfekt - Gerät ist mit dem W-Lan gekoppelt. Nun den Stecker wieder raus und am Wunschort sämtliche Geräte mit Netzwerkkabeln mit dem TP Link verbinden. Danach diesen wieder an die Stromversorgung anschließen und im Grunde fertig! Wer sicher gehen will, kann in den jeweiligen Menüs der Geräte einen Verbindungstest machen - bei mir hatten alle erfolgreich gekoppelt und wenn man weiß, wie es geht, benötigt man für die gesamte Installation lediglich 5 - 10 Minuten! Alles funktioniert bis dato störungsfrei und auch der Pioneer Verstärker arbeitet mit dem TP Link einwandfrei. Bisher hatte ich keine Verbindungsabbrüche, Internetradio und Airplay laufen ohne Probleme. Fazit: dieses Gerät bietet ein hervorragendes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis, zumal man bis zu 4 Geräte gleichzeitig ans Netz bringen kann, sofern diese über eine Netzwerkbuchse verfügen. Dank "WPS" hat man eine schnelle, einfache Installation ohne ein Netzwerk-Administrator sein zu müssen und am Gerät selber kein nerviges oder nervöses Dauer-Geblinke einer LED, wie ansonsten leider oft üblich.

Molto semplice, fa il suo lavoro egregiamente
Ho preso questo prodotto per portare la connettività internet a Televisore e console che si trovano a circa 5 metri dal router principale senzamuri nel mezzo. Si tratta di un client, cioè si collega al router principale tramite WiFi e quindi rende disponibile la connessione tramite le porte ethernet. Non fa da repeater WiFi, quindi dove si legge "Compatibile con ogni dispositivo dotato di scheda di rete Ethernet o Wi-Fi" c'è un errore in quanto in WiFi non è possibile collegarsi a questo dispositivo. La configurazione per me è stata molto semplice, visto che sia il router che questo dispositivo supportano il WPS mi è bastato premere il pulsantino apposito prima sul router e poi sul dispositivo. L'operazione dura una decina di secondi ma a volte è più lunga. Il TP-LINK TL-WA890EA supporta sia le reti a 2.4GHz che quelle a 5GHz ma poiché nel mio appartamento la 2.4GHz è molto affollata mentre la 5GHz è praticamente deserta, il firmware del dispositivo ha correttamente scelto la 5GHz con una banda di 270 Mbit/s (così mi segnala il router) un po' al di sotto dei 300Mbps dichiarati dal produttore. Ma nella pagina del produttore nelle specifiche alla voce sensibilità c'è scritto 270M: -68dBm@10% PER come la più veloce connessione che riesce a gestire. Per fare di meglio avrei dovuto utilizzare 2 powerline oltre i 300Mbps o un cavo di rete associato ad uno switch Gigabit ma la spesa sarebbe stata superiore e le soluzioni più scomode. Non ho provato mai la connnessione a 2.4GHz ma immagino che non sia facile ottenere i 300Mbps se i canali sono affollati. Per contro i 5GHz hanno una portata più limitata dei 2.4GHz. L'unico problema riscontrato è che il dispositivo è molto leggero per cui è facile che venga trascinato dal solo peso dei cavi ethernet collegati. Per bloccarlo si possono usare le apposite fessure nella base. In alternativa alla connessione WPS si può usare l'interfaccia web collegando il dispositivo ad un PC usando il cavo di rete ed accedendo alla pagina di configurazione con un browser. L'alimentatore, da 1A, ha una presa USB cui si collega un cavo con un'estremità USB e l'altra microUSB. Se avete una presa USB che fornisce almeno 1A potete usare quella.

maravilloso!!!
Este maravilloso AP lleva 4 puertos de Ethernet, que recibe la señal WIFI desde el router. Mi router principal no lleva el botón de WPS, pero con una configuración Quick Setup a través de [...], todos los procesos están muy bien explicados con el manual de la caja, de forma muy sencilla. He hecho una prueba con un PC y un portátil. Conectando mi portátil a través de WIFI que emite mi router principal, y conectando el PC al puerto Ethernet del adaptador, y luego hice el test de velocidad, conseguà el siguiente resultado (tengo Movistar de 10MB): Portatil - WIFI: bajada 8,34Mbps, subida 0,68Mbps, ping 45ms PC – Adaptador: bajada 8,50Mbps, subida 0,71 Mbps, ping 44ms Me he quedado sorprendido por este aparatito. Muy recomendado!!

Really good WiFi adapter
This is a really good WiFi adapter, especially for a price of under £30! I use mine in 'client' mode in my lounge to connect TV, PC and AV receiver to an existing 5Ghz network. Set-up is simple, WPS or using a PC and browser. The adapter can connect up to 4 devices. It should be noted that the maximum supported LAN speed is 100Mbit; keep this in mind if you want to copy files across two devices connected to the LAN ports of this device. What I really like about the adapter is that it can be powered via USB. It does come with a standard plug but you prefer you can just keep it plugged in the USB port of one of your devices thereby freeing up a wall plug. The adapter has got a good range and supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. It also supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. I have not had any performance issues with this device and can stream full HD quality to my TV seamlessly.
