I bought TP-link as they're a trusted, established brand expecting no false over bloated claims and nice straightforward usage: but no luck!
For reference I'm very capable technically speaking. I've been building, configuring PCs since before Windows 95. We have 5 PCs and 3 laptops in my house. So I generally know what I'm doing.
I could not get this to work. The supplied driver CD is of little use to 99% of users.
However Windows does automatically recognise and install a driver for it (dated 2016 I believe) and it seems to work except it couldn't see my WiFi network. Every other device does including phones and tablets in this part of the house (which is close to the router, next room same floor).
There's no specific link to this exact product on their website, it's just a general link to their homepage.
Still it's not that hard to locate the drivers in the UK section even though they seemed pretty old (2018, 7 years old). Installed and it saw the WiFi but refused to connect. First time it said "cannot connect" and 2nd attempt crashed the computer.
Then tried the US version of the drivers, newer, dated 2020 I believe. The installer locked up at 90%, just sat there even after 20 minutes it wouldn't proceed. Still you can easily point Windows to the driver files and it happily installs them. This saw the network, allowed me to connect but then reported there wasn't any internet available.
Then I tried the International drivers which were newer, 2021 I believe. These saw the WiFi but refused to connect; the same issue as the UK driver.
After more than an hour of faffing around (maybe 2 hours) it was all completely pointless.
Why would they supply a CD in 2025? Why not a USB stick or memory card? Why a link to the homepage of their website and not this specific product? What was the point in sticking to a brand name if it's this much hassle?
In addition the version number (critical for driver downloads) is not written on the device itself. There's lots of information printed on there but not this crucially important part! Thankfully it's on the sticker on the box so DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY! For reference this is Version 3 (V3.0) of the TL-WN725N(EU).
