TP-Link AC1300 Archer T4U USB Wifi Test Benchmark, & Teardown

TP-Link Archer T4U - network adapter - USB 3.0
This USB based wifi card seems powerful enough at face falue. TP-Link is generally pretty honest about the speeds that you can get out of their products. This one has an interesting flip feature that brings out the dual antennas that is pretty stylish.
Pick one up on Amazon. I recommend them and use them constantly.

Why are you copying and moving files to test the Wi-Fi speed they have nothing to do with each other

[@Dylan-zn7np]

You were testing the disk drive speed

[@AshuDas-zr9nb]

hey bro how you doing, I ran into some problem so the thing is I also have the same adopter but I want to add external antennas in it is there any way to do it I mean it already have a antenna so I just want to safely remove it and want to add a high-gain antenna to it if possible replay me .

[@testgames4028]

3:57 That's a deal breaker, they should put some heat sink. Especially as its high performance one. In my country in the summer, interior temperature can be 35~45 c in summer without A/C. I will not let A/C ON all the time, just for this. I have a bench of multiple and different size heat sinks that I use on my devices. but still.. if I open this I risk breaking the clips or void warranty.

[@testgames4028]

Also having a heat sink give you a peace of mind, that your devices can work at any environment, and that you can trust it and depend on it.

How is the material build quality???... I heard somewhere that it's cheap plastic (not durable)... What's your opinion?

[@NevsTechBits]

It's tough enough for standard home use. Not for rough kid use though.

[@victorandersen4186]

can someone help? I cant connect the AC1300, what is the code, and hoe do i see it? Am i downloading the wrong drivers?

[@RampDad]

yes, you need whatever model of t4u it is, not ac1300. it's confusing but just make sure it's the correct drivers

[@NewTech798]

Which chipset is used in this adapter?

[@winstoner]

Can you screen mirror using this?

[@NevsTechBits]

Yup. Results may vary when it comes to quality though.

[@jangdumanig1912]

Hi, I cant seem to find the Drivers for the ver5 for this archer t4u. Can you help me 😭

[@kevinassadi]

have you found a solution because I get disconnects every 10 seconds

[@mikaelschroter5575]

is this better or the t3u plus? Which one gets better signal with distance to the router?

[@3xtremeg4merbr98]

did you find out which one is better?

[@mikaelschroter5575]

@@3xtremeg4merbr98 i have the t3u plus. it is great so far. dont know which is better

[@yusvariharzairawan3525]

​@mikaelschroter5575 is your t3u work ing fine?. My tp link wn823 DC every 5 minutes after 4 months use

[@dodipappa]

Fivefive five 🙄 good stuff tho

[@NevsTechBits]

Nine point nine five.

[@Dylan-zn7np]

is this a joke
