    • Great Product - Great Tech Support
Update - Dec 2022 - Nearly two years later and no problems with my wireless using Linux Mint. I recently switched to a completely new OS - Manjaro Linux, so needed to re-configure. It didn't install the driver on my first try because my kernel required a certain header and I missed it. I wrote to BrosTrend and they responded within 6 hrs, identified my kernel and told me how to download the proper header for it and re-install and it works perfectly. Since my WSP (xfinity) wireless speed has also increased, I'm getting 220 MBPS from this. Five stars - for the product itself and for the best tech support you could ask for. I wanted to use this with a Linux OS, so needed to be able to install the adapter's driver. BrosTrend includes a cd with installation instructions for Windows, Mac or Linux. I chose the Linux folder and in the pdf was directed to copy and paste a single command into my terminal in order to download the driver (you do need to be connected to the internet for this). The process worked perfectly on both of my computers and two different operating systems - Linux Mint and Linux Lite. I had emailed tech support before even receiving it to learn what would be involved. Jane assured me that it would all work and if it didn't, to contact them and they would walk me through it - it did work because BrosTrend has done their homework. Nice to have tech support that will answer you back if you need them. Performance is great - though it will depend on your internet service provider and other factors, I got 125 Mbps download speed on my Dell desktop using my home Xfinity wireless. My Toshiba laptop's internal wireless card averages about 25 Mbps - when turning it off and using the BrosTrend adapter instead, my download speed increased to 120 Mbps. Great product and great tech support. ... show more

    • Not Plug-n-Play on Linux
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 <pkg name>'). 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. ... show more

    • Works Well With Linux Mint (22 and LMDE6) Once Drivers are Installed
I have used this adapter with both Linux Mint 22 and Linux Mint Debian 6. Follow the included instructions for installing drivers. The adapter was automatically detected and paired with the correct driver when I installed Linux Mint 22 fresh with the adapter already plugged in. Overall, a solid wireless adapter for Linux Mint. ... show more

    • Perfect for booting Windows 11 or Linux Mint on the same laptop
WIFI worked fine when using Windows 11 on my Dell laptop but Linux Mint didn't recognize the laptop's Intel WIFI card. Once I connected this BrosTrend USB adapter it automatically gave me great WIFI on both Windows and Linux, no matter which one I booted to, and without any new drivers.

    • Install for Linux a giant pain!
I wouldn't trash this product so hard if they didn't have Linux compatible plastered all over their entry. So I buy this and when it comes it doesn't even have a Linux driver for it. This sets up a nice conundrum, you need to go on the internet to get the driver from them. BUT, how can you go on the internet if the damn thing doesn't work? I guess the idea of these folks is that everybody uses laptops, but gee, I bought this for my DESKTOP! SO, I had to drag my desktop, all of it, down to where the router was to plug in with cat 5 to go on the internet to get the driver. AND, you couldn't just download on a flash drive from another PC, you had to use the PC it was going to installed on. Insultingly, the device was shipped with CD but had only a Windows driver on it, why not include a Linux driver? So my final shot is take the Linux advertising for this device as a joke. ... show more

Surprisingly easy to install. Just plugged it into my Extremely Old Lenovo ThinkPad T530 and it went from a miserably slow 23 to 236 Mbps. 10x speed improvement. Now my internet is as fast as my Linux box.
