Product page (TL-WN722N) • Product page (TL-WN722NC)

The TP-LINK TL-WN722NC is this adapter with an included cradle.

"11n High-gain USB Adapter-6 (AR) A" and "REV: 1.0" is silkscreened

on the board in the FCC photos (PCB v1.0 Atheros AR9271-AL1E)

Known at least two EAN numbers: 6935364050467 and 6935364090432

1T1R SISO, 4dBi detachable Omni Directional antenna (RP-SMA conn.)

Wi-Fi Certified : WFA8529 (as of 01/11/2010)

Versions

Version 1.10 has been seen printed on the box but is still the same chipset.

"2052500328" and "REV: 1.1" is silkscreened on the board (PCB Version 1.1)

Product Version 1.10 (on the box) with PCB Version 1.2 has been seen but

is still the same chipset (minor layout differences vs. PCB Version 1.1)

Version 2.x is using Realtek RTL8188EUS chip. See TP-LINK TL-WN722N v2.
Version 3.x is using Realtek RTL8188EUS chip. It is a rebadged v2.
