Great Solution for the Price

I had an issue with my network connection and had to use my cellular hotspot on wireless. The problem was, my PC was not wireless capable. Problem solved! Easy to install. Drivers on the CD. One, two, three and connected!

easy to install; great instructions; cost effective

Only works with Linux if one downloads and installs a module from Github.

To get this to work with a later Linux kernel, you have to find the git repo and download it. My original review was not accepted, possibly for giving the URL as external urls are apparently forbidden, so I'll just say look for the rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux git repo.

Very small and easy to use piece of kit. Get excellent speeds on Windows 7 but don't bother on Windows 8 only get half the speed, not the adapters fault, Windows 8 drivers are rubbish. Otherwise excellent.

Please don't buy this

The worst thing I have ever bought for my computer. Please do not but this. The 3/10 times it stays connected to the Internet it doesn't even work well

I've had this for atleast 3 months now, works fine. I just unplug it when I'm not using it. Everyone who claims they burn out must have never removed them. They have no heatsink, fan or any way to cool themselves so they are obviously going to burn out faster.

Small, convient, Fast; 126.2/mbs in 1800 sq/ft Townhouse - opposite ends.

Runs warm

As expected.

Perfect if you want to switch to 5GHz band. On Windows 10 device is plug n play (found drivers automatically), However as the device is based on realtek 8821au chipset, driver installation on ubuntu 16.04 requires manual efforts of driver source compilation and installation.

Competes with existing wireless adapter

I have an existing Lenovo machine with abgn wireless. The adapter requires you to disable all existing adapters and wireless software prior to installing. The adapter requires its own software.

I have two of these adapters I'm using in the house. I bought the second one because of the reliabilty I've had with the first one. Highly recommended! This review was modfied by poster @ 02-04-16 09:28 AM
