Very nice. Fast shipping and easy to use.

As advertised and quality made, works well and at a good price

Ho provato un paio di dispositivi simili, probabilmente ben funzionanti su sistemi Windows ma ostici e poco stabili su sistemi Linux.Questo dispositivo, invece, è pensato per sistemi Linux e la configurazione è questione di 30 secondi. Ottima la trasmissione dati sia a 2,4GHz che 5GHz.Super soddisfatto dell'acquisto.

compré otra marca que también decía que funcionaba y linux y lo tuve que develover.éste funcionó a la primera, instalando el driver que viene en las instrucciones. todo perfecto. (kernel 6.1).Se supone que para kernels > 6.2 es plug and play.Funciona perfecto para lo que necesitaba (aumentar velocidad/capacidad de transmisión para servidor plex, conectado a TV via wifi en diferente planta de una casa. ahora no hay lagging ni desconexiones. 5GHz ok. recomiendo 100%

tres bon clé pour linux , marche très bien .

I have a raspberry pi that I want to use as a moisture detector in my basement. Getting cat-5 to the location is next to impossible, so I thought I would try wifi with it. A quick check online shows this model has drivers for linux, including the raspberry. As I have the pi already connected to my network via cat 5, so I can write my code, I kept it there to install the drivers for the wireless adaptor, so having to have it online to install the drivers is no big deal. In my case, with the low powered cpu in the raspberry, and limited memory, the install process appeared to hang, and it would throw an error (in the error was a line that I was told to enter to finish the install, which I promptly ignored the first time, dumb-me that I am.) So I emailed BrosTrend, sending the requested info, asking what to do. I promptly received a reply saying they received my mail and would have someone get back to me. Sometime overnight I received an email with the answer... run the command in the error message and wait it out. Both emails were very polite, and I felt comfortable 'talking' to them. Anyway, after a bit of time, the drivers were installed! It turns out the ubuntu autoupdate routine interfered with the driver install, due to the low processing power of the pi. However, running speed tests on my gig service and Ubiquiti wireless network delivers some impressive speeds approaching 500mbps, and this is on my 25$ raspberry pi. Linux reports it is a stable 870mbit connection. I plan to connect the BrosTrend adapter to my laptop and see what kind of speeds I can get. I would highly recommend this to anyone, and already had a work-mate write the name down to reference for his own use!The picture makes it look large, but that's because the computer is so tiny! It is about as long as a pack of gum and about half as thick.

Works as advertised. If you read through the description first it clearly says you need an internet connection to set this adaptor up which you can do easily with an ethernet cable and a second pc/laptop or using an android phone or simply connecting to a router directly until installation is done. The paper instructions that were included are very straight forward and easy to set up so much that i didnt even need to contact support. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, 5.15.0 kernel. I highly reconmend this to avoid pulling hair out trying to use some other brands adaptor and figuring out how to find and implement drivers for it.

es bueno el producto lo único malo es que los drivers vienen en un cd, si pides los driver tardan demasiado en responder es más fácil buscarlos en la web

I gave this unit four stars only because once you have the adapter installed, it does the job well that it is designed to do. What exactly is it designed to do? That is part of where the catch comes in. It says it "works on Linux" but really they should have said it works on Debian based distributions. Others, which are not officially supported, they also provided instructions for on the web. I had in mind that this adapter would work to aid me in installing distributions to try out (I do distro reviews on YouTube). The first one I installed it into was a Debian based system, and the instructions were pretty clear on how to do it, even if a bit outdated (no need to add "busybox" onto the command, unless you are installing it on an ancient system). But you run one command and it is installed.That's fine for existing systems, but you have to have a LAN connection until you get it installed. Especially if and when you install a new system. So I would literally have to install it every time I tried out a new distro on my computer, and I can't do that without installing the distro first. On top of that, I could only install it on Debian based systems. When I followed the instructions for Arch Linux installation (it isn't officially supported nor a tested install), it involved extracting the source code from the DEB file and compiling it. They gave pretty good instructions on how to go about it, though with one typo or mistake ('sudo pacman -Sy' will not install anything on your computer, it just updates the repositories. It should be 'sudo pacman -S '). However, i encountered a driver error that I could do nothing to fix. So, "no Arch for me!" (says the Arch Nazi). At least on that computer. At least, not without using a temp LAN connection. Which I had hoped to get away from using.So despite the good speed and all, there are two issues that Linux users need to be aware of:1) This is not a "plug n play" adapter. If you plan on using this to install a distribution or two, or more, don't buy this as you will not be able to use it to install anything since there is no way to install it until after you have installed the distro. This driver, as of today, cannot be found in any of the distribution repos.2) This only has official support on Debian based distros such as Ubuntu and most any based on either Debian or Ubuntu, which probably covers somewhere around 55% of Linux users. Everyone else is lucky if it does install after using the instructions.And I'll throw in a 3) The "hidden" install instructions are in a PDF file on the mini-CD that comes with the unit, in the "Linux" directory. Why they don't tell folks that on the paper instructions for Windows and Mac that come with it, is unknown. Especially when this unit is advertised as being specifically for Linux users. Yet, at first glance, as several have said in these reviews, there doesn't appear to be any instructions for Linux.So who would I recommend this wifi adapter to? I would recommend it to anyone who has a bit of ability with a terminal/command line (one line for Debian users), just click and paste (probably why they put the instructions into a PDF file) and hit enter, pretty easy actually. And anyone with a Debian system, who doesn't plan on installing a bunch of systems, and who has access to a LAN Ethernet connection. If that description fits you, this is a great wifi adapter, look no further.Just be aware, DO NOT expect the Linux kernel to see and install this adapter out of the box. Because, well, it just won't do it. It's not designed to do that.

Most of my daily work is heavily based on Linux based OS. The wifi chip on my laptop started malfunctioning and I had no access to wireless internet. My laptop is 8 years old, and I do not plan to buy a new one. Still a lot of life left. Working with wired internet (which I could ) at home is neither easy nor convenient. I was looking since 6 months , a wifi adapter which would be suitable for my linux OS. I tried conventional ones from TPlink and Netgear, but the online drivers available did not work for me. They were so designed for windows that you could plug in it to your windows machine they would work without driver installation. I was literally frustrated, trying to run shell scripts here and there to fix bugs and make the TPLink/ Netgear adapters work for me. But I failed.I came across the Brotrend adapter and bought one. It works like a charm. The linux installation is very easy, if you know basic shell commands (honestly you can just follow the instructions blindly). The support team is super helpful and they provide a detailed step-by-step guide for installing the linux driver. Note, they recommend internet access during driver installation since it downloads some debian package. You can use a wired ethernet connection from your router. The online internet speed check reveals the following metric:ping: 5 ms, download speed 83.40 mbps, upload speed: 75.45 mbps.The speed graphs are almost flat, with no variation. The router is in the first floor, and I work in the second floor.Very happy with my purchase, perhaps elated...I can resume normal work with my linux laptop after 6 months now.I would highly recommend this to people using linux OS, who needs speed boostup, or are interested in working in old laptops whose wifi chips are broken.
