The only thing I care about is compatibility with Linux, and I am happy to report that I plugged this thing into the motherboard yesterday, and it appears to work perfectly without installing anything. I didn't even install the drivers that came on the CD. I have only owned this thing one day, but things are good so far. Immediately after plugging in the card and booting up, I was able to use 'ip address' to see the card present (but no IP, since I hadn't set up networking obviously). Then, I edited /etc/netplan/_your_config.yaml with my wifi configuration. I ran sudo netplan --debug apply and the interface did not appear to pickup an IP address. The output of 'ip address' showed that the state of the interface was 'down', so I though I might have been missing firmware, so I messed around for a while trying to get my sources.list set up for 'contrib' and 'non-free', but turned out to not be necessary. I did install a few debugging tools, but I don't think any of them contributed to making it work. I was using 'connmanctl' command to debug the interface when I realized that it was already connected and working perfectly. I think my problem was not rebooting after running the netplan apply. Here is my kernel version/stack: uname -a Linux host 5.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 12 10:30:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy (server version) I observed transfer speeds of 17.7 MB/s, which is more than enough for my needs.


- Stylish, small. - Acceptable range for a transceiver with no antenna. Three bars in Windows at home and about the same at the Uni library. (Wifi AC dual band.) - Detected in Windows 8.1 with no issues. (Works with linux and Mac OSX with appropriate drivers.) - Streaming from my NAS wasn’t an issue. But transfer speeds were about in line with single band N speeds. Speeds lingered around 15 to 20Mb/s to my NAS. More than adequate for browsing and streaming. I wouldn’t recommend buying this if you are planning to transfer gigabytes of data. It is single band after all.

It does 2ghz and 5ghz bands. It can do hotspot. Easy to install hardware.




Easy to replace and getting full (from provider) wifi speed now.

- Easy setup. Used in OPNSense setup on a custom system. Recognized without issue.

Rhis product works as should



Plug and play easy install Good speeds

I was using an older laptop (from 2017) in my office. Unfortunately my office is far from any wifi source and the wifi adaptor would keep dropping the signal which barely had any strength to begin with. I purchased this product, installed the driver and now I have a much stronger signal that I did with the factory adaptor. Originally I was nervous that I should have purchased a multi-antenna adaptor since the signal was originally so weak, but the single antenna works great!
