The affordable TL-WN821NC 300Mpbs Wireless N USB Adapter can deliver good transfer speeds and also comes with a small dock for placing the product in a more convenient location.
The test setup was composed from the following hardware:
CPU: Intel I7 Retail @ stock
Motherboard: Foxconn BloodRage with G42 BIOS
RAM: 3x2GB Patriot PVT36G1600LLK 1600MHz
Video: Sparkle GTX 470 with stock and OMNI A.L.C.
Power Supply: Nexus RX-8500 850W modular
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200.11
Case: Thermaltake Armor+ LCS, stock cooling
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Router: Sitecom Wireless Simultaneous Dualband 300N XR Gigabit Gaming Router II
For testing the Wireless LAN adapter throughput, I have connected the server ( I7 PC ) to the router with an UTP wire and the client ( ASUS X55SV laptop) had plugged on USB the TL-WN821NC Wireless N adapter from TP-LINK.
The application I have used to test the speeds was Performance Test 7.0, fully compatible with Windows 7.
Right after inserting the CD inside the drive, the autorun appeared, prompting us to select the adapter for which we need to install the drivers/applications:
After the selection has been made, we are warned that the software application for the adapter is not compatible with 64-bit OSes and we are asked if we want to install only the driver:
