Review: Gave an old computer a new life - I was very skeptical about this being a plug and play internet solution for my WiFi-less Dell 7040 mini PC running an old copy of Windows 10. It arrived at my house and I literally plugged it in, and my house network popped up. I connected to the internet with zero problems. I was then able to install Zorin OS with no issues whatsoever. It works great! This is worth every penny for those looking to repurpose a computer they already have but are skeptical like I was. I'm completely happy about this product and I would recommend it.
Review: Plug and play on Linux - This device worked seamlessly out of the box on an older Dell Micro PC running Zorin OS 18, with no configuration required. Installation was truly plug-and-play, and the compatibility with a Linux-based operating system was excellent. Overall, it delivered exactly as advertised and effectively extended the useful life of my desktop system. A solid, reliable product that I would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes, it works with Windows 11 and Debian Linux
*by R***Y on December 15, 2024*

I don't usually write product reviews but this BrosTrends wifi adaptor deserves one. I am assembling a new desktop computer to dual boot Win11 and Linux Debian. A new motherboard with a Wifi-7 chip on board. Works great for Win but no drivers available for Linux. Thus the need for a USB wifi adaptor. This is the fourth usb adaptor I purchased. The other three....no Linux drivers. So, I selected this AC5L adaptor because the description said it "works with Linux". If you are considering one of these because of the "works with Linux", go to BrosTrends website to verify that your particular Linux distribution is shown as compatible. Most are but there are some aren't yet compatible. As these drivers make it into more kernels, I believe more and more distributions will work with this adapter. So, I received this late Friday afternoon and began the installation and testing. Win11 setup was easy and it connected to my router. In Linux it was not immediately recognized. After doing all that I knew how to do, I decided to contact their Customer Service. This was about 10:00 pm Friday evening. I expected to get a response Monday or Tuesday. I got a response in about 10 minutes! I followed their instructions, we emailed back and forth a few times and by Saturday noon it was working just like I wanted. BrosTrend Customer Service is the best I have ever worked with. Now, for you guys who bought an 870e Crosshair Hero motherboard and are finding out the wifi-7 onboard will not work with Linux, this adapter is a nice workaround. By the way, my installation is working fine with Secure Boot and Fast Boot enabled. A big THANK YOU to the BrosTrend customer service team that helped me!
