- virtually plug and play - small compact - setup easy per instructions






The only thing I care about is compatibility with Linux, and I am happy to report that I plugged this thing into the motherboard yesterday, and it appears to work perfectly without installing anything. I didn't even install the drivers that came on the CD. I have only owned this thing one day, but things are good so far. Immediately after plugging in the card and booting up, I was able to use 'ip address' to see the card present (but no IP, since I hadn't set up networking obviously). Then, I edited /etc/netplan/_your_config.yaml with my wifi configuration. I ran sudo netplan --debug apply and the interface did not appear to pickup an IP address. The output of 'ip address' showed that the state of the interface was 'down', so I though I might have been missing firmware, so I messed around for a while trying to get my sources.list set up for 'contrib' and 'non-free', but turned out to not be necessary. I did install a few debugging tools, but I don't think any of them contributed to making it work. I was using 'connmanctl' command to debug the interface when I realized that it was already connected and working perfectly. I think my problem was not rebooting after running the netplan apply. Here is my kernel version/stack: uname -a Linux host 5.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 12 10:30:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy (server version) I observed transfer speeds of 17.7 MB/s, which is more than enough for my needs.


This was a purchase to replace a faulty internal wifi card in a Lenovo Yoga. The replacement options were very poor. I can get my 5GHz wifi signal at the far end of my house (3400 sq. ft.). So, I'd say that was very good for such a small device. Windows 10 auto-installs a driver for it, but the driver on the TP-Link site was newer.





I'm using it in a large meeting hall, with the equipment next to a stage. I can now play music from my smart phone (Spotify), thru this KN319 receiver, into a big Yamaha amp (RCA connections), to the hall's speakers. It has about a 100 foot range. Simple. It's an easy set up, pairs nicely, uses a small USB power plug and makes me look like a Hero!

- arrived quickly - easy to setup with included small bracket - much more stable than old card it replaced
