BrosTrend Linux USB WiFi Adapter 1200Mbps Supports Kali, Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Kubuntu, Mate, Zorin, PureOS, Raspberry Pi 2+, Windows 11/10, Wireless Dual Band Wi-Fi 5GHz/867Mbps + 2.4GHz/300Mbps

Good one, worked directly in my Ubuntu desktop 24 LTS in Asus Vivobook Go 14

Clear instructions so getting the drivers installed on my home PC under Debian 12 was plain sailing.

works great with Zorin (Linux) is was plug and play no loading any drivers

Funciona con drivers in-kernel en Debian 13, asi que debería funcionar bastante bien en otras distros

Acquistato per collegare wireless un vecchio pc in dual boot con win10 e Linux Mint funziona abbastanza bene . I driver si scaricano dal sito del produttore e l'installazione procede senza difficoltà. Arrivato nei tempi stabiliti da Amazon.

Linux Mint 22 - Works out of box, no messing about. 👏👏👏

I'm using the BrosTrend AC1L Wireless Dual Band USB Adaptor on a 10 year old Asus X401A laptop to give me 5GHz Wifi - the laptop only has 2.4GHz as standard. It works very well, much faster than I expected since the laptop has only USB-2 ports. I don't normally review products I buy on Amazon but this one is good enough to make me do so. So, if you are looking for a dual band wi-fi USB adaptor for Linux, then you need to read the description from BrosTrend very carefully to make sure it will work for you. Specifically, it does not work on all Linux distros. So, make sure your distro is not on the unsupported list - as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Centos are for example. If you pass this test, make sure the version of your Linux distro is present in the supported list. If it is, you are good to go. For anything else, contact BrosTrend by email and ask them, don't waste your time and money on a gamble. Before you order from Amazon, check again that you are ordering the Linux adaptor, rather than the Windows or Apple one. What you will receive will be the adaptor and a mini-CD containing drivers. The packaging will also tell you that you can contact BrosTrend for technical support. I found I didn't need the support ticket, I simply went to the BrosTrend website and found the download page for the AC1L, and downloaded the Quick Installation Guide for Linux. It's a PDF that gets displayed using a Google online viewer but it works fine. I then followed the instructions absolutely as specified - they are complete, simple and commendably brief. The installation script downloads all of the necessary libraries and code to build the driver, and installs it in kernel space. The run time on my (aged) laptop is about 15 minutes, the compilation phase takes several minutes so be patient. Once complete, I didn't even need to reboot, after a minute or so I could see two wireless network interfaces in Wi-Fi Settings. These are the two network interfaces of the AC1L and they both work! I can choose either as the interface I want to use, and additionally the Aeroplane Mode function key of the Asus turns off both of them. The performance of the 5GHz is surprisingly good - bear in mind I am using USB-2 on a 10 year old laptop, your experience may vary. Finally, if you send your Amazon order number to [email protected], you get 30 months warranty on the product, rather than just 24 months. It doesn't get much better than this.
