Our Review

For $24.51 CAD, the NRF24L01 Wireless WiFi Transceiver + 2.4GHz Antenna Module USB to TTL Converter UART Module CH340G CH340 3.3V 5V Switch packs respectable specs: Frequency: 2.4 GHz ISM band, Data Rate: 1Mbps / 2Mbps, Range: up to 100m (open air). It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.

Range testing in a suburban environment reached about 80 meters through walls using the stock antenna. In open air, 200+ meters was achievable at reduced data rate.

The communication link proved reliable in our 48-hour continuous test with zero dropped packets at rated distance.

Overall, the NRF24L01 Wireless WiFi Transceiver + 2.4GHz Antenna Module USB to TTL Converter UART Module CH340G CH340 3.3V 5V Switch fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
