Bought it to use with a Raspberry 5, with OpenWRT installed. I am running it as a router and the plan was to use the WiFi Adapter as an Access Point. It does work with readily available driver, speed is great but WiFi range is limited I think due to limit on available transmit power of the Adapter, which is a shame. Unfortunately can't use it as an WiFi Access Point. Would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Works with my Pi without any new drivers, however the range is not great

Seems to get quite hot in use so removed and reverted to internal wifi - made little difference to range or speeds available. On a positive note it is immediately recognised by the Raspberry Pi.

Plugged it in, and it just worked. Nice addition to those wanting to increase WiFi range with an external aerial.

What a great dual band USB adapter I have tested under Kububtu 22.04.4 LTS iw dev survey dump works over both bands up to channel 173 iw dev scan also works The device can also easily put into monitor mode on both bands Possibly a bit plasticky but a bargin for less that £20. Oh, and great service as usual from The PiHut
