This adapter does work out of the box with linux-6.8. If you notice performance issues, note that this adapter is limited to USB-2. This is still plenty for most applications. Here's the lsb_release info for the machine where this adapter is installed:Linux lenovo-20n20032us 6.8.0-54-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Feb 8 00:37:57 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The product description states this device is Linux compatible, but it doesn't operate correctly in my Ubuntu machine. The device is seen as a D-Link USB device by Linux, but not as a Network Interface Adapter.EDIT: to use this ada[ter in some machines, you have to compile the driver. That's what I did and it works now. Since Amazon won't let me tell how to do this, just go to D-Link to search for the Linux driver source code and then search for how to compile it.

You never know when a spare wifi adapter will come in handy. I had just built a new PC, used my Windows 10 install USB. Decided to upgrade it to Windows 11, and inexplicably my wifi adapter disappeared in my new desktop (more on that later).I had an old wifi adapter laying around, so I dug it out, and tried to get it going - problem was that it was so old that it wouldn't work on Windows 10/11, it had been designed for Windows XP and it just straight up said it was incompatible. Now I don't know if I could have come up with a workaround or not, but I decided to one-day this from Amazon for the 22 dollar asking price.The thing is nice and tiny, like about the size of 4 pennies stacked up. The speeds of the wifi adapter are adequate. I have a 300Mbps cable connection, that they kind of let me get around 350-375Mbps with, and my new desktop wifi adapter when working properly was giving me 350-375Mbps. (It came with it's own wifi antenna, so the speeds are quite good, as fast as I could get with a wired connection.)When I use this USB wifi adapter in the basement, I can get around 140-150Mbps. When I take it upstairs next to my laptop which gets around 320Mbps, the signal on this wifi adapter drops down to 72Mbps - nearly half the speed as the basement. There could be a number of factors that cause this, the signal bouncing better around the concrete basement, or just the wood of upstairs absorbs more of the energy, only an engineer could really explain exactly why.But the bottom line of that story is, the antenna / receiver or whatever can only get you so far in such a tiny form factor. The speeds will be fine for office work or some browsing, or even some gaming, but if you are looking for high performance then you should look at other options. If you are looking for affordable/small/convenient then I can definitely recommend this.I actually purchased two more of them, I definitely think you should have at least one as a backup for your primary PC in case the wifi adapter malfunctions or dies, which is something that can definitely happen.Oh, and by the way about my desktop wifi- there is a known issue with Windows 11 and the network adapters sometimes disappearing, I was finally able to restore mine, but not without a lot of researching and headaches.

School "upgraded" Wi-Fi network to 5Ghz. I got this so I could connect (works great). It's much faster than the old onboard Wi-Fi I also like that it's Linux compatible.

Had a 10yr old Asus (N56JR) with a Qualcom Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter that was dropping off after reboot. This D-Link worked right out of the box (5GHz WPA3), no special config other than for me to switch the WiFi to use it and to blacklist the old internal WiFi.

If something is going on with your wireless adapter and you can't fix it or get the right driver, etc., stop pulling your hair out and get one of these. I just popped it into my Linux laptop and it worked. It's tiny. It's cheap. The only negative is that it's so small, it's easy to lose!

Don’t buy. You have to download a driver that doesn’t exist.

Es un buen adaptador el detalle que tengo es que cuando lo uso como acces point me pasa muy seguido que pierde la señal por unos momentos muy breves, en todo lo demás es excelente
