TP-Link T3U Plus Reviews

Added wifi capability to older Win 7 computer

Used this adapter to add wifi capability to an old Win 7 computer I use mostly for email. Original motherboard did not have wifi capability. Installed this adapter into a USB port and now have internet access to the old girl without having to run an ethernet cable. Simply plug and play. Works great!
