With a 2-year warranty and dedicated technical support, this adapter is designed for seamless integration and reliable performance. ## Description TP-LINK TL-WN781ND is designed to provide a complete end-to-end wireless performance from the server or server backbone to the switch infrastructure and down through to the desktop with the PCI Express connector. TL-WN781ND Wireless N PCI Express(x1) Adapter provides a wider compatibility, fitting with any standard PCI Express slot, x1, x2, x8, or x16. Compared with standard PCI network cards, it offers increased bandwidth, reliability and more functionality, allowing you to enjoy a fast and advanced connection, such as downloading, making internet call and video streaming. Wireless N -Speed & Range. Complying with the IEEE 802.11n standard, TL-WN781ND can easily establish a wireless network and get up to 9X the speed and 4X the range of conventional 11g products. Compared with legacy 54M products, TL-WN781ND delivers performance enhancements, allowing you to have a more joyful surfing experience, including sharing files, watching streaming media. WPA/WPA2 Encryptions - Advanced Security. As for the security of WI-FI connection, WEP encryption has been no longer the strongest and safest guards for outside intrusions. TL-WN781ND provides WPA/WPA2 encryptions that are created by the WI-FI Alliance industry group, preventing the wireless network from outside threats. Quick Setup Security. Compatible with WI-FI Protected Setup (WPS), TL-WN781ND features Quick Security Setup (QSS) function, which is ideal for creating a WPA encrypted connection to prevent outside intrusion, and meanwhile maximize the management resources. Detachable Antenna. TL-WN781ND offers external antenna that can be rotated and adjusted in different directions to fit various operation environments, and can bring better performance than the internal antenna. For even more demanding applications, the antenna can be replaced with diverse antennas to show even greater flexibility and wider wireless coverage. Review: Great basic card with great gaming performance - didn't use driver included on CD, I just installed the card and when the computer booted up windows automatically installed the driver and the card has been working perfect ever since. the computer the card is installed in is a self built gaming rig running windows 10. all games run lag free and connection with my router is stable. the only advice i can give is to make sure your computer has a PCI Express X1 slot (PCI, PCIe X1 and X16 are different). if you want windows to automatically install the driver make sure the system has an internet connection either trough Ethernet or however it was connected before installing the card. if you cant connect the system to the internet then us the CD driver. if the CD driver is outdated windows update should install an updated driver once connected to the internet. PCI= old PCI interface. PCI X1= new version of PCI that is for expansion cards to add functions not built into the motherboard. This card uses X1 PCI X16= replaced outdate AGP slot and is for video cards, slot is longer than X1 and normally has a retainer clip on the back of the slot. there is an older version of PCI, I cant recall the name but its long and black. if you have that slot your system is likely running either windows 3.1, 95, or maybe 98. ***update 4/12/2016**** still working great, no driver issues and connection rarely has problems and when it does its normally the router at fault. PS thanks to those of you that voted this review as helpful and made it the top review for this item. its nice to know people find it helpful Update 4/3/2017: Card still works great, the custom computer this card is in has been retired to file server duty and now runs Windows server 2008 R2 instead of windows 10. I would no longer recommend this card for gamers as there are far faster cards out there such as wireless AC cards (requires an AC router to make a difference). Also wouldn't recommend as the primary connection method for a file server (I use ethernet). This card would be quite useful still for users who do not wish to do extreme gaming ( basic internet based games are ok). For simple internet usage (social networks, YouTube, Netflix, ext.) This is a more Than Able card and provide many years of reliable service. Review: Wireless N150 PCI-Express review - I got this card in the mail with a computer case. It had plastic wrap around the cardboard box, and everything inside was in mint condition packaged nicely. At the time of this writing, the product was shipped and sold by desertcart. When I put this card into the computer I'm using, it didn't install right away. Which is no problem since there was a small disk included with it. So no complaints there. Instead of using the installer, I went to device manager on Windows 7 and made it search for the driver on the disk so I wouldn't get any extra junk-ware loaded onto my computer. I would just like to note that there were folders for Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. So you shouldn't have any problem installing it on any of those OS's provided you use the disk. As far as connectivity goes, it's what I expected. I'm a couple of rooms away and have 4/5 bars. There is no lag or anything of the sorts, getting the full speed my ISP provides. I would just like to note the only obstacle between me and my router is one door, and when I close it the connectivity does not go down. tl;dr ~ Alright connectivity, got what I expected provided the price. ($15 USD) Works on Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. Exactly what I needed. ## Features - Adopts Align technology, with transmit speed up to 150Mbps Provides PCI Express connector having a wider compatibility with any standard PCI Express slot - Supports QSS function, complying with WPS for worry free wireless security Supports 64/128/152-bit WEP, WPA /WPA2/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES), supports IEEE 802.1X - Standards: IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b Interface: PCI Express Antenna: 2dBi Detachable Mini-Omni Antenna - Wireless Speed:802.11n: Up to 150Mbps 802.11g: Up to 54Mbps 802.11b: Up to 11Mbps - Frequency Range: 2.4~2.4835GHz Wireless Transmit Power: 18dBm(MAX EIRP) Modulation Technology: OFDM/CCK/16-QAM/64-QAM - Receiver Sensitivity:130M: -68dBm@10% PER 108M: -68dBm@10% PER 54M: -68dBm@10% PER - Work Mode: Ad-Hoc; Infrastructure Wireless Security: Support 64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) - Support Operating System: Windows 7(32/64bits), Windows Vista(32/64bits), Windows XP(32/64bits), Windows 2000 Certifications: CE, FCC - Industry-leading 2-year warranty and unlimited technical support.

I bought this because my grandparents switched ISPs, and Comcast stuck the router on the opposite side of the house from their desktop. After confirming that we couldn't easily run cable or move the router, we decided to try this. Installation was standard, if you've installed a PCI device before you should have no issues. Packed in driver worked long enough to dl a new version, Windows 7 gave me no trouble. I'm a little disappointed in the performance 2 old laptops, a tablet, and 2 phones accessed the wifi from the same desk and performed better than this card. That said, the connection has been stable, and that's what I needed. Invest more for performance, but if you need to make a 2012 inexpensive desktop work well enough for cat videos, E-mail, and a bit of Skype, this will definitely do the trick. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link TL-WN781ND WLAN PCI-E Adapter (150Mbits/s, Windows 8.x / Vista / 7 / XP) - TP-Link Archer TX55E AX3000Mbps Bluetooth 5.2 Dual-Band WiFi 6 PCIe Card with Two Antennas, Specialized Heatsink WiFi Adapter for PC, 1024-QAM, Ultra-Low Latency, Supports Windows 10/11(64bit) - MSI MAG A650BN Power Supply Unit, UK Plug - 650W, 80 Plus Bronze Certified, ATX PSU, 12V Single-Rail, DC-to-DC Circuit, 120mm Fan - 5 Year Warranty --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6149667-tp-link-n150-wireless-pci-express-adapter-tl-wn781nd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6149667-tp-link-n150-wireless-pci-express-adapter-tl-wn781nd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
