Is there a benefit of using a TP-Link over the camera's onboard WiFi? It seems like they both do the same thing...
My WIFI experience is limited to a Canon 70D. I've found it impossible to configure for reliability with iOS. My takeaway, right or wrong, is that Canon doesn't know WIFI, or doesn't know iOS, or both 
I too had positive experiences with USB tethering.
The Camranger, on the other hand, does much more and has been dead solid reliable. It isn't the easiest to learn to configure, but once I got my head wrapped around the registration and networking setups it's been incredibly good!
