There are quite a few situations when users can't really fully benefit from the wireless-N network in certain locations due to various signal limitations, and that's exactly the reason why TP-Link introduced the TL-WN822N High Gain USB Adapter.

So, what we're dealing with here is a 300Mbps wireless client, whose main purpose is to allow notebook users to connect to wireless network in a safe and stable manner, since it actually boosts the available signal with the help of its twin antennas.

Although it's most likely targeting older notebooks, not capable of providing Wireless-N connectivity, the adapter from TP-Link will most likely prove to be useful in the case of modern portable computing systems as well, especially in those specific areas plagued by signal issues.

The key feature this adapter has to offer is represented by its dual 3dBi external antennas, that can be very easily adjusted and turned in different directions, in order to get the best possible reception, depending on the user's exact location.

According to the manufacturer, the device is fully interoperable with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless devices and also perfectly compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) technology, making it very easy for users to connect to a certain network.

Furthermore, carrying this thing around shouldn't be much of a challenge, since it measures just around 3.5 x 2.7 x 0.7 in. (90 x 68 x 16.8mm), meaning that it will occupy a very small amount of space wherever one might decided to place it, while the 1.8-meter USB 2.0 cables it employs for connecting to the USB port will grant users quite an OK level of freedom.

Last, but certainly not least, we'll have to mention that the adapter is available now for $29.99, which is actually a very OK price point, given the features it provides.
