Ottima chiavetta
La BrosTrend Linux Chiavetta WiFi USB AC650 è davvero un ottimo dispositivo di rete. La utilizzo su un PC dedicato a Linux e riesce a captare segnali anche piuttosto lontani, con velocità e potenza molto buone. L’installazione su Linux è semplice grazie al comando fornito dai produttori, mentre su Windows tutto avviene automaticamente, senza complicazioni.L'antenna della chiavetta forse è un pò troppo lunga, ma comoda da usare e costruita con materiali di buona qualità. In generale, offre prestazioni affidabili sia per Linux che per Windows, rendendola una scelta consigliata per chi cerca una soluzione versatile e funzionale.

Yes, it works with Windows 11 and Debian Linux
I don't usually write product reviews but this BrosTrends wifi adaptor deserves one. I am assembling a new desktop computer to dual boot Win11 and Linux Debian. A new motherboard with a Wifi-7 chip on board. Works great for Win but no drivers available for Linux. Thus the need for a USB wifi adaptor. This is the fourth usb adaptor I purchased. The other three....no Linux drivers.So, I selected this AC5L adaptor because the description said it "works with Linux". If you are considering one of these because of the "works with Linux", go to BrosTrends website to verify that your particular Linux distribution is shown as compatible. Most are but there are some aren't yet compatible. As these drivers make it into more kernels, I believe more and more distributions will work with this adapter.So, I received this late Friday afternoon and began the installation and testing. Win11 setup was easy and it connected to my router. In Linux it was not immediately recognized. After doing all that I knew how to do, I decided to contact their Customer Service. This was about 10:00 pm Friday evening. I expected to get a response Monday or Tuesday. I got a response in about 10 minutes! I followed their instructions, we emailed back and forth a few times and by Saturday noon it was working just like I wanted. BrosTrend Customer Service is the best I have ever worked with.Now, for you guys who bought an 870e Crosshair Hero motherboard and are finding out the wifi-7 onboard will not work with Linux, this adapter is a nice workaround.By the way, my installation is working fine with Secure Boot and Fast Boot enabled.A big THANK YOU to the BrosTrend customer service team that helped me!

Activo el wifi a la primera en Ubuntu 24
Después de probar otros 2 adaptadores con diferentes inconvenientes con mi Linux Ubuntu, este funcionó a la primer y sin necesidad de configurar nada ( solo la contraseña del wifi obviamente)Muy recomendado

Linux Mint - perfect for wpa3 on my old MBP
I needed wpa3 on my old 2015 MBP running Linux Mint so I purchased this adaptor. Linux Mint recognised it, installed the drivers automatically and connected to the wpa3 wifi straight away. Amazing !!!!
