Great Wifi

Just purchases this to replace the built in WiFi for an old HP Pavilion, running Win10 that no longer worked. Plugged it in and it started straightaway no need to install drivers from the CD. Fast and reliable, great range. One of the best $20 I've spent in ages, breathed new life into an old laptop.

Cheap, but overheats

It usually disconnected after a few minutes of heavy use, such as torrenting, streaming a movie from Hulu, or uploading a heavy amount of data to my server; sometimes it would disconnect randomly.
Pros:
  • It was cheap
  • and "just worked" when I plugged it into my Ubuntu laptop
Cons:
  • At random times, the card would disconnect and not re-associate with the AP
  • To get back on the wireless network, I'd have to unplug the adapter, and then plug it back in.

Not WDTV compatible!!

If you're like me and you're buying this to give your WDTV media player (Live, Plus, Hub, etc) wireless network, don't bother as Western Digital currently only supports v2 of the TL-WN821N and I think everyone shipping these things now (including Future Shop) is shipping v3.0 or v3.1 and that's
