Customer Review

I use the stick "TP-Link TL-WDN3200 N600 Dual Band WLAN adapter (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, 300Mbps, USB 2.0)" in normal size now (only install drivers) for months under Windows 7 64 and was so far quite happy. However, I now had to find that the stick only the 5 GHz US-channels 36-64 and 147-167 support, no matter what region I set in the driver. This is also confirmed in the filings with TP-Link Specifications: Supported 5GHz frequencies are 5.15-5.35 GHz (channels 36-64) and 5.745 to 5.825 GHz (channels 149-165).
In Europe, we, however, the frequencies 5.15-5.35 GHz (channels 36-64) and 5.5-5.7 GHz (channels 100-140) have provided. In my case the connection was suddenly cut off to my Fritz box 7390, since the Fritz box has changed to channel 100.

Anyone who sets his access point to the 5GHz channels 36-64, will have no problems, otherwise the product with Driver 3.2.6.0 is not EU-compliant with our 5 GHz WLAN standards.

Supplement 05.12.2013:
Another note to 5GHz: From channel 100 may be sent in the 5 GHz range with 1000mW; that is of course the purpose of extend the range and stability very interesting, but unfortunately with this TP-Link product can not be realized because the appropriate channels 100-140 can not be received.
When a product is in the EU generally advertised with 5 GHz and sold without naming restrictions, I also expect that it also supports all relevant channels. I'll replace the TP-Link now by a FRITZ! WLAN USB Stick N v2.

Supplement: 20/9/2014:
According to the German Wikipedia the 5GHz channels 100-140 with the exception of the channels 120, 124 and 128 for use have been approved in the US now.
