Which of these is the best wireless USB adapter?

Hi all,

I'd like to preface this thread with a couple of things:

1) I'm far enough away from my router that an Ethernet cable is not viable, but not far enough to need a wireless repeater.

2) I did buy a PCI adapter (this one) but it is terrible. The connection drops every 15-20 minutes and no amount of troubleshooting will fix it, I also seem to only get 2/5 wireless bars.
I decided to use my sister's TL-WN821N, this results in 5/5 bars and a rock solid connection - hence the decision to jump to a USB adapter.


With that out of the way... Here are the challengers:

1) TL-WN821N - The same as mentioned above, I'm tempted to go with this as I've already had a good experience with.

2) TL-WN722N - 1 antenna beats no antennas right?

3) TL-WN822N - If the above logic holds, then 2 antennas > 1 antenna?


If you have any better / alternative suggestions, I'm all ears.

Last couple of things:

- My budget is around £15
- I'm on Windows 7, but plan to move to 10 in a few months


Thanks in advance, Mix

I wasn't really aiming to spend that much I'm afraid :/

My internet is in the kilobytes so it's not as if I need a fast connection, just a stable one.

Thanks for your response.

Thank you both for your answers and insight!



Thanks very much, sounds like just what I need! I'll be ordering shortly :)



Thanks for the information, I would get one but my budget is pretty tight at the minute.
Should I need a better one in future (and money allows) I will definitely check out your recommendation!
