Review: Wonderful product - The only place I can connect my router in my house is in the furthest spot in the living room away from all the bedrooms. Since I haven't braved crawling through the attic to attach wired options throughout the house just yet I decided to get this little adapter since it was cheap and I figured if I ever got unlazy it wouldn't be a big waste of money. I am entirely glad I got this over one of the other more expensive products. This works phenomenally. I am in the back room of the house (furthest possible spot away from the router) and I still get a full 5 bars whether my door is open, closed, people are home, etc. My connection never gets interrupted and it runs strong. My download speed has increased an INSANE amount over the adapter this one was replacing which just couldn't manage to hold a stable connection over three bars. I was super happy with this product and will probably be buying a few more for the other PCs in the house until we get something more permanent set up. Hell, I may decide just to keep it wireless since I haven't experienced any of the issues that I normally have with wireless adapters. GREAT GREAT GREAT buy. Just remember that when installing you only install the driver on Windows 7 otherwise it acts a little wonky. Other than that its practically plug and play. I just stuck it in and ran through the driver install with the disc they provided, only using the drivers, and it was working within a minute or two and going strong ever since.
Review: Best bang for the buck USB WiFi out there - ****Functions FLAWLESSLY on Ubuntu, Pi, Kali, in monitor, inject, flood, and hotspot sharing. It literally does it all and it's plug and play. Works on gf's hackintosh. Works on SkyWave Linux 3.1.1. This is MY first-hand experience.**** For 'regular use': This is a great adapter. After 6 months though, the signal will slow down, about 25%, and a quick unplug and plug back in (all in under a second) fixes it for hours. I suspect I MIGHT have a computer virus though, and I have no way to test it on anything other than a (possibly infected) laptop I have. Different antennas make a BIG difference and the antenna they send works best, and quite well. I'm shooting right at 1/2 nearly straight shot (maybe 15 degrees of straight), clear line-of-sight, and 10ft from WiFi modem I'm getting 15Mbs ( 12-16 Mbs is the max availible- I'm extremely rural) and at the half mile + location the adapter is deployed, I'm getting 9-13 Mbs.....with absolutely NO mods and only a pane of glass in-between by the base and a pane of glass in-between by the adapter. For this situation, it works amazingly well. ****It also functions FLAWLESSLY on Ubuntu, Pi, Kali, in monitor, inject, flood, and hotspot sharing. It literally does it all and it's plug and play.****

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and Play on Manjaro
*by K***S on June 4, 2020*

Works out of the box with no drivers needed on Manjaro Linux. That’s exactly what I was looking for, and it’s cheap. Build quality seems solid and doesn’t feel cheap. But you need to be aware of what you’re buying. This is a single band wireless N device restricted to 2.4ghz. Depending on your router and internet package from your ISP, that may not matter. I was getting up to 50-70mbps download speed, and that works well for most applications. And this seems reliable, it never cut out on me. However, wireless N is outdated and has its limitations, mostly seen when downloading large files. If you’re able/willing to install drivers, you can get an 802.11ac dual band device that can leave this thing in the dust as far as speed is concerned. I replaced it with a USB 3 device like this and am now getting over 200mbps. If you need something that works out of the box, your router or ISP package are limited to the slower speeds, or those speeds are just fine for what you plan on doing then by all means buy it. It’s a great little adapter and works exactly as you would expect. Just know that there are better options out there for a similar price if that’s what you’d prefer.
