AC1300 dual-band USB 3.0 adapter

The TP-Link Archer T3U Plus adds Wi-Fi to desktop PCs through a USB 3.0 port. It delivers up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 400 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. The adapter supports Windows 10, 11 and macOS 10.9 through 10.15.

MU-MIMO and adjustable antenna

MU-MIMO technology enables two simultaneous data streams when paired with a compatible router, improving whole-network throughput. The external high-gain antenna rotates to face the router for stronger reception in different room layouts.

Compact build with USB 3.0 plug

The black adapter weighs 0.04 pounds and connects directly to a USB 3.0 port without cables. Its foldable antenna design reduces the risk of damage when moving the computer or storing the device.

Questions about this item

Will the external high-gain antenna need replacement later?

The adjustable multi-directional antenna is built into the adapter and has no user-replaceable parts.

What limits throughput first during sustained use on the 5 GHz band?

The 5 GHz radio tops out at 867 Mbps, so that ceiling appears before the USB 3.0 interface saturates.

How much heat or noise does the adapter produce when running all day?

The compact 0.04-pound design has no fan; it runs silently and stays warm to the touch under continuous load.
