Why Choose Archer T2U Plus?

• Better Range with High-Gain Antenna — Ideal for rooms far from the router or areas with interference.
• Flexible Placement — Adjust the antenna angle to target your router or the least-obstructed path.
• Band Choice — Use 5 GHz for low-latency activities (streaming/gaming) and 2.4 GHz for long-range coverage.

Usage Notes

• Real-World Speeds will be lower than theoretical maximums and depend on router capability, distance, walls/obstructions, and network congestion.
• USB 2.0 Interface may limit peak throughput versus USB 3.0 in some scenarios; still ample for typical HD streaming and general use.
• Driver Updates: For best performance and OS compatibility, install the latest TP-Link (or chipset) drivers for your operating system.
• Hardware Revisions: Components (e.g., wireless chipset) may vary by hardware revision and region; check your unit’s label/support page for exact details.
