TP-Link Archer T2U Nano AC600 Nano Wireless USB Adapter
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TP-Link AC600 Nano Wireless USB Adapter (Archer T2U Nano) - 3 Years Local Warranty
The Archer T2U Nano is TP-Link's entry dual-band nano adapter: 15 x 7.1 x 18.6 mm, omni-directional antenna, USB 2.0. It adds 5 GHz 802.11ac to a machine that has only 2.4 GHz, or replaces a failed built-in card, and it is one of the few adapters in the range with a full reception-sensitivity table across both bands.
Dual-Band AC600 Connectivity
Published rates are up to 433 Mbps on 5 GHz under 802.11ac and up to 200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz under 802.11n, both described as dynamic. The practical gain over a single-band adapter is access to the 5 GHz band, which in Singapore's dense residential and office blocks is usually far less congested than 2.4 GHz. Standards support covers 802.11a, b, g, n and ac, so it will attach to any router currently in service.
Full Published Sensitivity Figures
Sensitivity is published down to -96 dBm for 802.11b at 1 Mbps and -89 dBm for 802.11n HT20 MCS0 on 2.4 GHz, and -90 dBm for 802.11a at 6 Mbps on 5 GHz, with -56 dBm at 11ac VHT80 MCS9. Transmission power is published as <20 dBm (EIRP). These are the numbers to compare when deciding between this adapter and a larger antenna-equipped model for a room at the edge of coverage.
Nano Body, USB 2.0 Host Connection
The adapter is small enough to leave installed permanently, and does not block adjacent USB ports on most machines. The host interface is USB 2.0, which is matched to the AC600 class rating rather than a limitation of it. Modulation is published as DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, OFDM, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM, and use of 256-QAM requires your access points to also support 256-QAM.
Check the Operating-System List Before Ordering
This model has the oldest published support list in the range: Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and XP in 32- and 64-bit, with Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.13. No Windows 11 entry is published. The security row lists 64/128-bit WEP, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and 802.1x, and the feature copy adds WPA/WPA2; no WPA3 is published for this model. Confirm your build before a fleet deployment.
Ideal For
Singapore home and small-office users adding 5 GHz capability to an older notebook or desktop on a supported Windows build, and anyone needing a low-cost, permanently-installed adapter that does not protrude. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and volume pricing on request.
