is TP-Link Archer T4U USB 3.0 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter good?

yeah?

I would recommend it, as long as you plug it into a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port. But during your Operating System Setup be sure to have it unplugged. I have had issues installing windows with wifi adapters still connected.

Hes saying to leave youre adapter unplugged while you set windows setup unless or you will have problems with it. If you have already done this then you can leave it in the USB port

Just as @SpencerBoughtAnXbox said. While installing, leave it unplugged.

Yes. You should only need one Wireless Adapter.

I myself have the AC600 T2U. I assume the T4U just comes with more bandwidth or something...

the T2U was plug and play, excellent signal strength, good responsiveness, and was able to do pretty much anything I wanted to do with it. However It was unable to leverage my full bandwidth... But I also have 200Mbps connection, so that isn't really its fault. (I do not recall what my actual max throughput was with the T2U). I use an Ethernet connection now, and its much better than the T2U as far as bandwidth goes. Fairly similar on all other points though.

So to answer your question, yes, that T4U should be good. But it still won't be as good as a wired connection.

Master socket? bitch plz I got that cord running across my basement and taped to the floor xD.

But yes, I wasn't telling you to get the T2U, I was just saying that it should perform fairly similarly to that unit, and I have good first hand experience with it. The T4U should be a better unit still, so you should have a good time if you end up purchasing it
