“Direct replacement for the original adapter from my 2012 Pi kit. Worked straight away on Buster install, no configuration required. Excellent value and fast delivery”
“Had a lot of trouble getting this to work but it was due to my version of Raspberry Pi OS missing the firmware file even though the driver is now part of the kernel.
In dmesg this manifested itself as:
[ 2.763736] mt7601u 1-1.4:1.0: Direct firmware load for mt7601u.bin failed with error -2
Obtained the firmware file by extracting it from https://www.mediatek.com/products/broadband-wifi/mt7601u (MT7601.bin) renaming (mt7601u.bin) and placing in /lib/firmware/.
Perfectly functional unit but the signal is weaker than onboard WiFi.”
