First I want to state that this is not my first ownership experience with a USB Wi-Fi adapter equipped with an external antenna. That would be my Rosewill RNX-G1 b/g adapter which I purchased years ago. That adapter has served me well over the years but given that it doesn't support N mode, I decided to find a similar replacement adapter with N mode support. After some research I decided to go with this model from TP-Link instead of a similar one from Rosewill. First thing I noticed about this adapter was that it's very stylish and the green LED is position BEHIND the plastic white shell giving it a very pleasant soft/frosted illumination. Not only is it stylish but the build quality is excellent as well..better than the Rosewill. Like the Rosewill this adapter has a removeable antenna so you could upgrade it for better range if needed. A 3ft USB extension cable is also included in the package.Installing this adapter was fairly easy for WinXP but it wasn't Plug n Play even with SP3 installed. You need to install its own device drivers which was included on a 3" mini CD. After installing the drivers and utility found on the disc I decided to visit the TP-Link site to download the latest version of the drivers and utility. The new utility has less features/info/options than the old one but it looks better, is less confusing and more user friendly. Performance was fantastic and very reliable for such a low cost device. I was so impressed with this device I decided to buy another. On my setup I use a tabletop USB dock which you could view in the photo gallery.UPDATE: I finally had to remove this unreliable/incompatible product from my PC for good as it would randomly disconnect and then reconnect at a lower speed. Most of the time when it reconnects, a Windows bubble pops up saying the device would perform better if it was connected to a USB 2.0 port...even though it was already plugged into said port. I found that the only way to get it to work at USB 2.0 speed without rebooting the PC was to unplug the TP-Link and then plugging it back in again. That is until the next time it wants to randomly disconnect. If I didn't do this and continued to use it while it was running under USB 1.0 mode, my download speeds would drop by more than half.All this time I thought my new computer build was the culprit. I was even thinking about replacing my motherboard as I thought the USB ports were defective. I finally purchased a Belkin F7D2102 N300 Micro Wireless N USB Adapter and that thing works flawlessly with my computer. No disconnects and it even connects to my Belkin router at 144Mbps! It's tiny and doesn't need a fancy external antenna to get good reception.

I've had this adapter well over a year now and never had any problems with it, other that windows shutting it off after the pc goes into sleep mode. A minor annoyance that I recently found out there is a fix for.I just upgraded to windows 8. First of all, if you do the windows 8 upgrade, make sure you have access to another computer where you can download the Windows 8 (beta)drivers for the adapter, or download them before you upgrade. Otherwise you're hosed.Now...here's where it gets a little crazy. To reinstall the drivers you have to go into device manager and browse for the new drivers. You can find instructions on the internet or tp-link has a pdf that walks you through. The problem is, once you try to install these windows will give you an error that it could not install them, and to please see mfrs website. At this point most people are going to think the thing is broken and buy a new one, and that is unfortunate.Being a software developer I was determined to get the thing working so I finally figured out the problem. Apparently Window 8 requires signed drivers and these are unsigned. So to get the thing working you have to boot windows 8 in a sort of "safe mode" where it allows unsigned drivers. (google "windows 8 unsigned drivers" for instructions) If you reboot you have to do this process all over again. On top of that the thing keeps acting completely erratic now and shutting off every 5 minutes.Long story short, I'm buying a new adapter even though I got it semi-working. Fix your drivers, tp-link, this is unacceptable. I could recommend the product for Win 7 but until they get the drivers working it is not functional on Windows 8.

TP-Link WN-722N works excellent so far. I have it connected to an Onkyo TX-8050. I bought it based on the review of another amazon shopper,since it has the same Atheros AR9271 Chipset as the Onkyo USb WiFi adapter: http://www.amazon.com/review/R30FDB7EGJ96ZA/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R30FDB7EGJ96ZA . The receiver is in my garage, sending sound(mostly Pandora/Internet Radio) to 2 Zones, on my patio and in my garage. My main wireless router is in the basement,on the opposite side of the house, and did not have a strong enough Wifi signal in my garage(using my Samsung Galaxy S2, or my laptop, I had very poor or no signal, mostly none). So, before I even received the TP-Link WN-722N, I setup an ASUS router that I had laying around ,with dd-wrt , as a Repeater Bridge, in the hopes that I would get my Onkyo receiver connected to internet when it arrived later in the week. Once the Repeater Bridge was up and running, the Wi-Fi signal in my garage went from non-existent, to Good/Excellent.I connected the TP-Link WN-722N to the Onkyo receiver,hoping to get it connected to the Repeater Bridge. To my surprise, it found my MAIN router!(and the Repeater Bridge too, however, could not establish a connection to the Bridge). The High Gain Antenna works very,very well. The Onkyo receiver reports a 94% signal strength, whereas my other devices cannot lock a signal!I had it running for about 4 hours straight while doing some yard work, did not lose signal once. Will see how it will last in the long run.I cannot connect it to the dd-Wrt Repeater Bridge, however, all the work wasn't in vain. Now I have signal on my patio/garage, and I can use the Android remote for Onkyo to stream music from my phone/control the receiver.One thing that could not get to work, is see my Onkyo receiver in my network, from a Windows machine. No yet...I also have an Onkyo HT-RC270(pretty much same as a 708), but I have not tried yet to see if the TP-Link WN-722N would work with it. Most likely would, however, I have it connected to internet with a cable, and would be a pain in the rear to play with it.

Just like any other consumer out there who use wireless networks, I was fed up with my laptop's built in receiver. I have spent countless hours turning and twisting into several positions like Spiderman to receive a decent connection. Eventually, I decided to purchase a third party solution. The TP-Link TL-WN722N was my choice and so far I am impressed. You connect this device via USB which is very convenient because you can plug it in to your PC and Laptop.Installation:(Win7 64 bit)Installing the device was very simple. I read in other reviews that some folks had problems with the software so downloaded the most recent version on TP-Link's Website. Installation was smooth without any problems. I installed the device drivers but not the wireless connectivity software that came with product. Instead I allowed Windows to provide that function.Performance:I got an instant boost on my wireless network. From 2 bars to 4 and sometimes 5 if you use the usb extension cable included with this product. I prefer to use the cable to avoid putting strain on the adapter and of course there will be times when you forget the adapter is connected and bump into walls and other obstacles while moving around.Upgrading:The adapter's default 4 dBi antenna can be removed and thus be upgraded to provide better wireless connectivity.I also purchased the TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 8dBi Omni-Directional Antenna. Although the description says indoor I was tempted to mount it outside my window. I connected the antenna to the adapter and it discovered at least 12 other networks in the neighbourhood.Note: Some folks misjudge the performance of wireless devices. Radio Waves works both ways. If you upgrade your receiver and your still not getting good connectivity it because the Wireless Access Point (Router) antenna needs to be upgraded as well.TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Desktop Omni-Directional AntennaVerdict:I was not expecting such results with a low cost product like this but clearly it proved me wrong.5 Stars for me. Good work TP-Link!

Honestly I've lost count of the number of poor wireless network adapters I've suffered through my many years. All the major brand names, adapters with no names, all of them, it doesn't matter; most of the stuff I've had the displeasure of seeing just wasn't all that great, flaky at best.If you've also shared these bad experiences, know that every positive word you read about this TP-Link TL-WN722N Wireless USB Adapter is accurate and well deserving of the praise thrust upon it. Trust me, if you've all but given up on wireless adapters, give this one a final last try. It just works. Seriously. Hallelujah! I recommend this item to anybody who wants a decent wireless connection. Make sure to download and install the latest driver from the manufacturer's website before using it.If this doesn't fix your wireless problems, then the problem probably isn't with the adapter. Check that your router isn't overlapping channels and possibly conflicting with other neighborhood routers (a common occurrence). If you have an Android phone, the app "Wi-fi Analyzer" is a great free diagnostic tool for this. Amazon Appstore for Android Link: Wi-Fi Analyzer. While it may not solve every problem, it'll tell you a lot about the quality of your Wifi signal from your base station, strength of signal from room to room as you move it around, and who else is out there broadcasting that is competing for the same airspace you're trying to use. Your network, and probably your neighbors' networks too, will thank you.

I bought this antenna a while ago to connect from 2nd floor to a router on first floor. As long as the connection is established, the speed is very good and the range also. However, it takes several attempts to connect in the first place, and the connection is frequently lost, or the router just disconnects for no apparent reason. I started to tether my desktop to my mobile to use its wifi connection, which connected without problem to the same router and was much more consistent. Furthermore, the driver is not automatically updated and windows (7) is unable to detect the most recent version of the driver, insisting that the 2010 version is up to date. It is possible to download the most recent version from the website and install it manually after uninstalling the old version (install with the setup.exe). I don't know if this is a Windows problem or if the problem is with TP link, but as the most recent driver is supposed to fix the disconnect issues, there should be an easier way to install it.Update: The new driver has stopped the problem with connecting initially, but not the random disconnects. Sometimes the antenna works fine for hours, sometimes it disconnects every five minutes ten times in a row.

I bought this item to replace an aging and failing Linksys AE100 wireless adapter. For its low price and top reviews, the TP-Link WN722N Wireless Adapter looked like a sure bet.When it arrived, I installed the adapter and the drivers according to instructions...and was at first highly impressed with the speed and sensitivity of this product! I was seeing available networks that I'd never seen before, especially since my AE1000 was barely picking up my university's network anymore anyway. I was well pleased for all of...20 minutes. And then I got a blue screen of death.Thought it might be a fluke, ran a disk check and everything was fine, but then another blue screen of death. And another. Always, the blue screen gave an error pinpointing "athuw.sys" as the problem, which happens to be the Windows XP 32-bit driver for the TP-Link WN722N Wireless Adapter.So I tried a different driver, provided by the TP-Link website. Same problem. Blue screens randomly and frequently. I tried every available driver that's compatible with Windows XP 32-bit, none of them got rid of the BSOD problem. Finally, I plugged in my old and dying AE1000, and the blue screens stopped.After contacting my university's IT help desk and attempting to have a professional troubleshoot the problem, it seems there's nothing to be done about the blue screens of death. So I will be returning this product...with a warning:Don't rely on positive reviews alone to select your product. Just because it's one of the highest rated adapters on Amazon doesn't mean that it's flawless. Read the 1, 2, and 3 star reviews before making the plunge. I'm disappointed to be out return shipping now on a product this cheap. It almost isn't even worth it to send it back. It might also be a good idea not to trust unfamiliar brands. The more established names will likely offer better support. The broken English on the TP-Link wireless utility and website should also have been a red flag.

Why I chose this rating:This wireless adapter has brought me great success over the past few years. I have purchased at least 4 of these adapters for various computers. They have all worked perfectly!Why I like this product:I like that it gives you the option of plugging it directly into the USB port on your computer, or using the USB extender so that you can place the adapter wherever you choose. I like that this adapter has a antenna for better wireless signal. I'm an electrical engineer, so trust me when I say that the antenna makes a big difference in signal strength. I get 4-5 bars of signal at any point in the house, and it is an encrypted connection. That is exactly what someone should look for in a wireless adapter. The included CD comes with drivers for operation. I would recommend going to their website and downloading the most recent driver for this adapter to ensure best performance. The packaging was simple and effective.What could be improved upon:I tend to misplace the USB cap for this device. Maybe a more attached option would help people keep track of this little cap. That's about it!Bottom Line:This is a very inexpensive solution for wireless internet access. It works perfectly, and was well designed. Buy this adapter!

First one I recieved didn't work. I recieved a replacement from Amazon before I even sent the defective one back. Install the cd, plug and play. We have a 3000 sqft home and this one was for my daughter's room whose room is on the other side of the house. The signal has to go through a brick fireplace surrounded by a brick wall and another brick wall (the outside of her room facing the kitchen is all brick and the room the router is in is behind the living room which has the aforementioned brick wall). The wireless adapter we had before required me to have a signal booster or relayer- whatever you call it- in order to pick it up. Not this little puppy. Works just fine on it's own (oh, and her computer is on the back side of her room, which is against another brick wall-about the furtherst point you can get from the wireless router). So yes, I am VERY happy with this product.

This adapter is quite good. I'm getting great reception and speeds. It also has an easy-to-use configuration tool.One flaw of this adapter: it has a power save mode. After a short time of inactivity the adapter shuts down. I couldn't figure out how to get it reactivated without unplugging the adapter and plugging it back in. In the configuration tool there is an option to turn power save mode off. I did this several times and it would never seem to save my settings. This was a major annoyance that almost made me return the item. Eventually, the configuration tool remembered that I wanted power save mode off by default, and now the adapter stays active and I have a reliable, fast, wireless internet connection. Note to the manufacturer: do away with the power save mode. I can't imagine why anyone would need that feature on a device like this.

Well I ordered this TP-Link TL-WN722N Wireless USB Adapter for my Dell Desktop because I wanted to move it into another room that does not have a coaxial cable wall jack. It shipped promptly in 2 days, packing was hassle-free, and the product itself is small and sleek.The software installation disk it comes with both the drivers for the Adapter and a Client Utility software to set up and manage your network. It also comes with a software called QSS - Quick Secure Setup. DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE UNLESS YOUR ROUTER HAS A PIN# on the back / supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup. If it does (I assume TP-Link routers do) this software will work fine. To read more about Wi-Fi Protected setup and access point pin -However, the quick setup guide DOES NOT tell the user what to do if the router does not have a pin or support Wi-Fi Protected Setup. (I use a Verizon Fios Actiontec MI424WR which does not.) So here are the instructions:When using the installation disk, click Install Drivers & Utility. Once you step through the process and the installation completes, open the TP-Link Wireless Client Utility on the desktop or from the taskbar on the bottom right (icon looks like four bars in increasing size, or the typical icon for a wireless signal). Click the "Profile Management" tab. Select "Default" and click "Modify" (you may rename if you wish). Under SSID1, type the name of your network located on the back of your router under SSID or ESSID. Then click the "Security" tab and select Pre-Shared Key (Static WEP), click Configure, and type the WEP Key on the back of your router. Most routers use 64-bit, 10-character WEP keys but if yours is larger, try 128 or 152. Press OK then OK again. If you entered everything correctly, this should work! You can then click the "Current Status" tab to make sure you've got a good signal strength, etc.The awful thing is I had to figure this out completely on my own after I realized I couldn't use the QSS software and the 45 MINUTES on the phone with their tech support ended with the agent copping out on me, saying he would e-mail me instructions on how to download the drivers manually, giving me his e-mail address, and then promptly hanging up. (Nope, I never got an e-mail, of course.) THIS WAS THE WORST TECHNICAL SUPPORT I'VE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE!Anyway, after trying to figure it out on my own after getting off the phone with their tech support, I came up with the above solution. I hope it helps someone!Again though, fantastic product, great price, great look, and does exactly what it's supposed to with great efficiency. 5/5 for the product itself, 1/5 for the software and tech support. (Also comes with a USB Male to Female extender for the Adapter or anything else, really.)

I really wanted this adapter to be good because it was inexpensive and had lots of rave reviews but I find it has very poor range. I am comparing this to an old Linksys WUSB11 wireless B adapter I'm using Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter v4I'm about 50-60 ft. away from my router and behind a good number of walls. With the Linksys I normally get a Very Good connection. I can get an Excellent connection with the help of a homemade wifi extender. The TP-Link only gets a Low connection, and with the wifi extender it receives a Good to Very Good connection but even with Very Good it tends to drop the connection a lot.Using Netstumbler and InSSIDer, I can see the practically antique Linksys gets 40-50+ dB over the TP-Link adapter! No I'm not exaggerating. I have placed both adapters in the exact same spot. The router hasn't moved. I typically get anywhere from -20db to -5db on the Linksys while the TP-Link routinely gets -70db to -60db. It gets -58db at best. I have adjusted the TP-Link's antenna in every possible direction and I've also tried changing the adapter height higher and lower to no avail. The Linksys also detects a wireless access point in my house that is located 20ft. farther than the router while the TP-Link doesn't see it at all.I can't believe a wireless N adapter would pale in comparison so much to a wireless B adapter; unless I got a faulty adapter which seems unlikely since it seems to work fine when I'm really close to the router. It's my understanding that the wireless N protocol has greater range than wireless G and even significantly more than wireless B so why is the B adapter kicking this thing's butt?I don't know but the TP-Link is not doing the job. Even when it's in the same room as the router it still can't beat the Linksys. The lowest I've gotten when the TP-Link is right next to the router is about -25db. I don't get it. I can't use the Linksys anymore because it's very old and only supports WEP encryption which is not secure. I guess I'll have to keep looking elsewhere.Also, the TP-Link's antenna is too loose and gets moved very easily. Just barely touching it will change its position. When I put the wi-fi extender on the antenna it weighs it down unless it's at an almost 90 degree angle. It's very annoying. The antenna's motion needs to be a lot stiffer. The adapter base is also way too light. There's barely any weight to it and can get moved around easily by the usb cable.I have to give this product a thumbs down unfortunately.

After purchasing this device I was able to connect to my wireless network with great signal strength across the full length of my condo (which is probably about 60ft). My router would crash after this device had connected to the network. It wasn't immediate, but it was consistent and I found myself resetting the router once a day. To elaborate on 'crash', the router would cease to broadcast the SSID and all wireless devices would disconnect without hope of reconnecting. I attempted to connect to the router's ethernet ports and it failed to assign an IP. After manually assigning an IP in the correct subnet and attempting to ping the gateway without success I came to the conclusion that the router had 'crashed'. I experimented with various wireless settings and firmware updates to the router but never found the right touch. I have since stopped using this wireless adapter and the stability of my router has been restored.I'm giving this device 3 stars because it did connect to my wireless network, and provided a quality internet connection. It just didn't get along with my wireless router.Wireless Router: D-Link DIR 655

I bought this as the wireless adapter I used prior was just not Linux compatible. I wanted an adapter that would work out of the box with Linux. My computer is dual booted: Linux Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I mainly use Linux.I found this. It is a good price and shipped very quickly (thanks Amazon!).However, it is a bit wonky. Sometimes it just stops running. The light either goes off and stays off and I have to unplug/replug it. Or, the light stays on but doesn't blink which means its time to restart my computer! I would say it happens once every two weeks or so but it isn't a huge problem.It connects to my wifi quickly but for whatever reason, if I restart with Windows instead, the adapter will not work. I'm not sure if this is what usually happens but its not a problem as I have a different adapter for Windows anyway.So far, so good, loving this adapter.

Installed on system running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. Had ZoneAlarm Security Suite installed and the installation software would install but the unit would not see my router. Contacted TP-LINK and after talking to one of their phone support tech, had gotten an RMA assuming the unit was defective.Not really wanting to ship the unit back to TP-LINK for a replacement, I did a bit of internet research and discovered that this unit has issues with ZoneAlarm Security Suite. The write-up recommended uninstalling ZoneAlarm, installing the driver, then reinstalling ZoneAlarm. I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and it took Windows 7 out with it.After reinstalling Windows 7, the TL-WN822N came up with signal strength 5 and is now working fine.

This wireless adapter really surprised me. When I built my little brother's computer, I was left with only one expansion slot, which was quickly taken up by a graphics card. With no more expansion slots, I was worried there would be no alternative. Luckily, I found this product. It's just as fast as my internal wireless network adapter, and (obviously) requires no expansion slots. It doesn't stick out the back of the computer very far, and helps keep the computer as small as possible (Being that it is a mini ITX). I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high speed, high quality wireless network adapter.

The device came in a paper box covered in shrink wrap. When I opened the package I was very pleased to find a cable, which at first I thought was useless from past experiences. However, the cable works great which allows me to keep the TP-LINK TL-WN722N off the floor. I have a friend who loaned me a Netgear and another friend who loaned a TP-LINK without an antenna, niether worked very well. Both had low wireless rates and the TP-LINK TL-WN722N was cheaper then the other two wireless adapters. the software was farily easy to install and the connection was even easier, i.e. connecting to the computer. I did have some diffuctily connecting to the server but once connected it has been sweet. When the TP-LINK TL-WN722N is operational i.e. connected to a computer there is a flashing green ligh inside visible from the front. Thank you for the sale.

My PC is in a dead zone in my house, so I've been searching for a high gain adaptor for a while. I like my office set up too much to relocate everything , & most rooms in my home don't have a phone jack.Most adaptors work but don't give me enough of a stable connection for effective gaming. So when I bought this adaptor I was really impressed, it had an excellent connection for the first couple weeks, then I started getting USB errors & would have to unplug/replug in order to get it to recognise the adaptor. Eventually the adaptor failed completely & took my pc with it.I got the blue screen of death. My pc was fine just a reboot needed, but the adaptor was toast.I just assumed I got a defective model. I purchased another one because it did work really well.When I installed the new one I made sure that I went to the website & got the updated driver in case that was the issue. I ran stability checks , everything seemed fine, yet everything happened exactly as last time,. Both adaptors only lasted 2 months.Best buys geek squad could not find a reason why.. & I'm using different brand high gain adaptor now so far so good. I'm not gonna post a brand because it's just been a month & I'd hate to recommend a flawed product.

I use mine at work because the wifi in my department is terrible. I only got 2 bars of reception where I was sitting. Now with the TP-Link High Gain Wireless USB adapter I am getting 5 bars and the speed gain is insane! I always thought that the internet at my work was just slow and crappy, but it is amazing! I highly suggest getting it if you are having issues with wifi reception. Here are my speeds for before and after the TP-Link High Gain Wireless USB adapter.Before:2 bars of reception0.57 Mbps5.00 Mbps uploadAfter:5 bars of reception36.92 Mbps26.13 Mbps uploadThe only con about this product would be that you have to download the drivers yourself. Other than that, it is amazing! I would recommend this product to anyone.

I bought two of these primarily because they use an Atheros 9 chip, which allows me to do many things with it using Linux, like running it as an access point, if I wanted to.It didn't work on Linux with kernel 2.6 (Debian Squeeze) but worked fine with Linux kernel 3.2 (Debian Wheezy). This is because it requires certain modules to be supported by the kernel itself, and they were introduced with kernel 3.2.It also works fine without needing drivers on Windows7. I didn't need to install any of the accompanied management software as I didn't need anything apart from the standard functionality (connect to access points) on Windows.This is cheap, properly built, excellent stability and open-source friendly. Highly recommended product. and will definitely look into other TP-Link products in the future.

These have amazing reliability and range and works well on most versions of windows. I use it to mount to my xpmode/vdi/virtual machine to give it a separate network connection from my wired machine. I've also used it with a virtual machine running on my Nexus 7 and mounted it through an OTG cable. I now have two of these that I use daily and have yet to have issues with either, one of them is often in my laptop bag which takes a small beating yet the adapter continues to work.

Purchased 2 of these to use with 2 Windows 7 (64 bit) computers. We currently have 9 wireless N devices (not including these adapters) that connect to a Netgear WNDR3700 router with no issues. Most of the time, both TL-WN822N adapters refuse to connect to wireless N and fall back to wireless G. If I set the router to N-only, neither will connect, I just get the prompt over and over again to enter my security key. Even wireless G performance is a bit flakey, and often the speed and latency to the router was worse than the internet connection itself. To top it off, the driver and utility software is about as bad as it gets. The config tool pops up on every restart even when checking the "Don't show it again" box. The utility tool freezes constantly and the UI is terrible which is especially frustrating since you'll be spending a lot of time in it to figure out why it's not working properly. If you have a full screen app open, the utility that runs in the background will frequently take focus away from the foreground app. You'll have no idea the TP-Link config utlility is doing causing this, because it won't show any visual indication that it requested focus so you're staring at your windows desktop with your full screen app in the taskbar. Reinstalling the software and drivers doesn't help much since you never quite get the feeling the uninstaller removed everything properly and once you get everything reinstalled properly again, you are just back where you started. Often while troubleshooting, windows refused to recognize the adapter at all until a reboot. Ultimately I have decided to just deal with ethernet cables across the floor until I can find something better.

Ужасно
Well, it worked OK for 8 months, just died on me this morning. During its brief life, it worked OK and had good signal strength, although it would periodically drop connection to my wireless router and "forget" my security key, requiring a restart and re-input of the key.Pretty much a waste of money. There is no excuse for a piece of solid-state electronics to fail after less than a year, but I guess this is typical of cheap Chinese junk these days. I'm trying a different wireless adapter this time.

I am using this adapter with an Asus RT-N66U router. I tried using a couple of Asus adapters thinking that Asus should work best with Asus. They did connect but could not get them to work with Ubuntu. Windows 7 would work about 15 minutes or so with the Asus adapters then disconnect.These have been rock solid on Ubuntu and Windows 7. It also worked great with my Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver before I had to steal it to get my sons PC working after the Asus adapter could stay connected.Will probably buy another one for the Onkyo as soon as I pay off Christmas.Works great, is very easy to use, well made and great price.Highly recommend!Would like to see them come out with a black version as all my equipment is black.
