My money wasted, product is terrible.

When I was shopping at the Mitinsky radio market ten years ago, some of the vendors were familiar to me, and they discouraged me from purchasing a TP-LINK router. I decided to go with the ZyXEL, and I am completely satisfied with how well it has performed thus far. A TP-LINK Neffos Y5s smartphone, about which there is a review on YM, was among the items I purchased a year ago. Because it was in such a state of disrepair, he gave it to his daughter as a spare so that she wouldn't throw it against the wall. Here we have a Wi-Fi adapter that we managed to purchase from TP-LINK. And solely due to the fact that he settled down in the community as a permanent resident and the fact that there is simply no ZyXEL available for purchase. My interaction with this manufacturer came to an end with this exchange. __ In light of the fact that I required this adapter in order to function as an access point from a computer, I played a tambourine while moving in the direction of distributing the Internet from it. The only way I was able to make it function is as follows: 1. After connecting the device, install the driver (it is recommended that you then restart the computer after this step). 2. Click Start, then in the box that appears, type cmd. 3. Start the Command Prompt while logged in as the Administrator 4. Within the command prompt, type: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="MyHomeInternet" key="pass12345678" keyUsage=persistent (where "MyHomeInternet" is the name of the network and "pass12345678" is the login password). 5. We construct the access point by pressing the Enter key (the input). 6. On the command line, in section 2.3, to enable the access point, we write: netsh wlan start hostednetwork. 7. Press Enter (input). The hotspot is now operational. It is necessary for you to always write and perform the netsh wlan start hostednetwork command on the command line as Administrator. If you turn on the computer, restart it, or detach the adapter, the access point itself will not turn back on. (change the word start to stop in order to switch off the access point.) To make it simpler to turn the access point on and off, you will need to create a.bat file and include the line "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" in it. Doing so will allow you to automate the process. It will then be sufficient to run it as Administrator by right-clicking on the icon, and selecting the "Run as Administrator" option from the context menu. Look it up on the internet if you want to know how to make a.bat file. It's not difficult at all.

Pros
  • No.
Cons
  • The very helpful TP-LINK Wireless Configuration Utility, which enables you to effortlessly configure the adapter, is not included in the most recent revision V5 of the product. And the service in question is not like its predecessors in any way, shape, or form because it is unable to detect the gadget. The bundled WPS program has been installed, however it absolutely refuses to be opened using any of the methods that are currently known. Does not pick up any other Wi-Fi signals, and it does not distribute itself either. (Win-7) PS was dissatisfied to discover, after leaping for seven hours with a tambourine and forcing the device to distribute Internet from the computer, that the signal lowers to one stick after it passes through a wall comprised of three bricks in the next room. The signal is completely lost when it is looked at from the exterior of the 6-by-8-foot brick house on the other side of the window where the gadget is mounted.
