Signal is a bit average but at least it truly is plug-and-play. So many supposed raspi compatible WiFi adapters out there require installation of the drivers after a download but this one you just plug in and it just works. Fab, just what I wanted I'm more than capable of faffing about compiling drivers and all that and have done since the first pi came out but it's better that it just works out of the box. One star lost due to average signal, some other adapters have been marginally better for that.

I struggled for days trying to make the Pi work with a couple of cheap adapters from Amazon or eBay. I still think it's possible somehow, but I never got it. This adapter just worked immediately.

No surprise whatsoever, just plug and play, and it just works as expected.

Generally works great. Worked immediately on an RPi 2 (running bullseye, Lite version) with zero configuration changes. So far (about two weeks) it has maintained a consistent connection, which is a huge improvement on the rtl8192 based adapter I previously had. I have had a few issues when trying to bind the Pi to a particular wireless access point (we have a mesh, ASUS hardware) - it seems something in the wireless networking stack (possibly not the adapter or its driver’s fault! I do not know) doesn’t understand all the ECSA announcements, and the Pi ends up timing out trying to connect to the wrong AP. But I have found letting it roam and setting up wpa_supplicant to background scan on weak has been an effective workaround for keeping a reliable connection.

This is an exceptionally good product , it has good connectivity ,is very easy to use and is plug and play for the Raspberry Pi . The only negative thing is that it did not find my NOS wifi immediately, I am not too sure why this was . I'm thinking that my wifi may have been 5ghz which this product does not support. Luckily I managed to get it working in the end. I highly recommend this wifi adapter to all Pi ( and other computer ) users who have 2.4 GHZ wifi . Good price too
