Review: Works in Linux (Specifically Armbian) - Haven't tested whether it gets the advertised speeds because I don't really need those and likely never will. This is connected to a Banana Pi M4 Zero to act as the upstream wifi (internal wifi is configured as hotspot/AP). For that purpose, it works great. Plug and play and was immediately detected. Seems to be using a Realtek chipset internally.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Limited Life
*by A***Y on August 31, 2025*

Edit: While my overall experience with the dongle as reviewed below was a 2 star experience, customer support and assistance was fantastic. For the price and knowing they stand behind their product, it is hard to go wrong with this adapter. This worked okay for a few months. But about 4 months in it totally died. It was relatively stable up to that point, but nothing to brag about which is expected for this price point. I would have liked to get at least a couple years out of it.
