Only ever had one TP-Link piece of hardware... A wireless card I put in an older machine to do some home automation stuff. It was never reliable and would drop connection all the time. Nothing I tried doing seemed to fix it until one day I decided to get to the bottom of it and fired up wireshark and pulled a PCAP of everything it was doing... and what I found was that it seemed to violate the 802.1 spec is some very serious ways. The card went in the trash and I ordered a new card for twice the price from a reputable manufacturer.
