TP-LINK TL-WN422G

TP-Link is back at the forefront of the progressive wireless market! At the moment, the manufacturer has reassured us with a high power wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter. The adapter supports standards such as 802.11g / b and features a detachable 4dBi antenna.

Consider TP-Link TL-WN422G in operation

TP-LINK's TL-WN422G wireless USB adapter provides easy and simple wireless connections when used with a desktop PC or laptop, and provides the ability to organize a network anywhere without additional funds for purchasing a wired line.

With a strong detachable antenna with 4dBi gain, this TL-WN422G works with tremendous performance over long distances and also in high interference areas. The device is capable of stably receiving a signal over long distances, about two floors from the access point. The USB adapter can be plugged directly into a laptop or placed side by side on a table (if using an extension cable). Its portability and ease of use make it the perfect pocket-sized wireless adapter.

With auto-negotiation, you can transfer information at speeds up to 54Mbps for the best performance. This device can communicate seamlessly with a variety of 11Mbps wireless products (802.11b reference). And 152-bit encryption will provide the appropriate level of protection and help keep your data completely safe.

In addition, the TL-WN422G has Soft AP connectivity, which allows you to connect to it via your individual PSP game console and play games over the network. This mode means that the adapter operates as a wireless access point to which you can connect a variety of wireless devices.

Moreover, the device supports all modern methods of protecting the transmitted data for the operation of wireless networks, such as protocols: 34/128/256-bit WEP, WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK WPA / WPA2, TKIP / AES.

In general, such a device makes a fairly good impression with its thoughtful design and good technical features.

Appearance

The body of the device is, as usual, made of black and white plastic. One panel is made of snow-white plastic, the other, or the bottom - in black.

In addition, the device has a connector on the side panel for connecting an external antenna.

Using the antenna supplied with the device, you can amplify the reception by a gain of 4dBi, while its size is about the same as the size of the adapter itself. The antenna shell is enclosed in white plastic.

The connector for connecting an external antenna is conventional, which means that, if you wish, you can connect an antenna with more serious parameters to the adapter to increase the received signal level - for example, one of the external antennas manufactured by TP-Link:

TL-ANT2405C - 5dBi gain - this is an omnidirectional antenna

TL-ANT2406A - 6dBi gain is a tabletop antenna with a specific direction

Connection

The connection method for the access point is fairly simple.

All you need to do is insert the adapter into your computer's USB port and install the supplied driver.

Then, you can connect to an existing wireless wired network, or configure the adapter to accept "incoming" wireless connections (this mode is called Soft AP).

In addition, the utility for managing wireless connections allows you not only to quickly and easily configure / change connection options or connect to any available network with wireless access without problems. It also shows a huge amount of useful information about the current signal quality / connection state in a very convenient way for any user.

Driver installation and connection took less than 10 minutes.During the testing, no disconnections due to the fault of the equipment were observed.
