The Tp-link Archer T2U is performing extremely poorly in speed.
I recently purchased a TP-Link Archer T2U USB Adapter and after plugging it in and installing the driver everything functioned properly. However, the connection speed remains extremely slow. I've already tested it with other devices on the same network, but the results show the TP-Link model is significantly slower than the others.
AC600 offers wireless performance across two bands: 200 Mbps on the 2.4GHz range and up to 433 Mbps at 5GHz. The latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac, delivers a maximum speed of 433 Mbps, though real-world speeds typically range around two-thirds of that. How fast are you actually receiving? What are the other devices achieving?
Other equipment achieved 65mbps, whereas the TP connection managed only 1 to 5mbps.
What band are you playing? The signal strength looks decent. I think the TP Link antenna might be too compact. One common problem with USB networking is the small antennas they use. Have you checked for the newest drivers on the TPLink website? Are you connecting through a front USB port or one located on the motherboard?
I'm currently working with the 2.4GHz frequency and have already installed the most recent and newest driver from tp-link. It is now installed on the back of the motherboard's I/O slot.
Consider upgrading to 5GHz for improved speed and reliability. Think about relocating the USB port to the front of the device. Many standard cases contain metal components that may disrupt WiFi signals.
It might just be a poor adapter. I don’t really appreciate any USB networking equipment. It could also be because you’re too distant from the router or there are too many barriers between your computer and the router. However, if similar devices function nearby, I’ll take the fault on the adapter.
How close is the computer to the wireless access point? Are there any obstacles like walls, ceilings, or floors affecting the signal? Are you connected to one access point or using extenders/repeaters for coverage? What internet speed are you subscribed to through your ISP? Which networking equipment do you have installed? What connection speeds do you experience when plugged directly into the ISP device? Run a WiFi survey with WiFi Analyzer and capture screenshots of the 'Networks' (showing MAC addresses) and 'Analyze' pages for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
