Seamless install, gave me access to two different WPA3 networks that the builtin Intel AC1760 (?) card did not. 47 Mbps down and 26 Mbps up speed test through an asymmetric 1 Gbps (down) ISP connection. Range was good but did not explicitly test it. Longevity? Durability? Who knows. It got me out of a jam on a trip, arrived next day, and worked off the bat. Review: Easy to set up - Works really good just plug and play... Works with Linux. I'm using MX Linux.. Plugs in scan for wifi connection and put password in ...that simple. I was online in less than a minute after it arrived....just plug it into your USB port ## Features - WIFI 4 USB NANO DONGLE FOR LIBRE COMPUTER SBCs: Small plug and play 2.4GHz WiFi for single board computers with up to 150Mbps speed. Measuring 19mm x 14mm x 5mm, keep neighboring USB ports unobstructed. Low power design stays within the 500mA power budget of USB 2.0 ports. - PLUG AND PLAY FOR LINUX: Supports all current Linux LTS versions and Windows. No installation required for most Linux kernels, just insert into any USB 2.0 or higher port and connect to any 2.4GHz wireless network. Compatible with personal computers with USB 2.0 and 3.0 Type A ports. Built on the Linux mac80211 and cfg80211 frameworks, supports in-kernel wireless management. - LATEST WPA3 SECURITY STANDARDS COMPLIANT: Supports the latest WPA3 SAE security standards. Simultaneous Authentication of Equals provides additional protection from password brute forcing and dictionary attacks. WPA2 / WPA are no longer secure and passwords can be defeated in minutes. 802.1X network access control, and SoftMAC for future extensibility. - ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY: AP mode, monitoring/sniffing mode, and 40MHz channels for up to 150Mbps (18.75MB/s) rates via integrated 1T1R 2dB antenna with 18dB transmit power. Configurable MAC to programmable protocol handling. - PREREQUISITES: 150Mbps (18.75MB/s) PHY rates require AP advertising 40MHz channels. 20MHz channels are limited to 72.2Mbps (9.025MB/s). Actual transmit efficiency is a function of dongle temperature and signal to noise ratio. Peak performance around 75% of PHY rate in low noise environment at 10M. Linux support requires CONFIG_MT7601U. WiFi 4 operates on the 2.4GHz band (2.400GHz-2.4835GHz) using the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards. - CHECK FOR POWER SUPPLY ISSUES: Make sure that the device is getting 5V or higher during load. If power to your SBC is insufficient, this device may become underpowered and drop off the USB bus or periodically disconnect and/or exhibit low throughput. If you are unsure, please test this device with the GenBasic 5V 3A power supply. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BNFKJPXS | | Best Sellers Rank | #174 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (261) | | Date First Available | November 27, 2022 | | Item Weight | 0.634 ounces | | Item model number | 2A4M1 | | Manufacturer | GenBasic | | Product Dimensions | 0.75 x 0.5 x 0.2 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GenBasic - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Linux, MacOS, Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, USB - **Data Transfer Rate:** 150 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** 802.11 b/g/n, Radio Frequency, USB, USB 2.0, USB 2.0 Type A - **Item Weight:** 0.02 Kilograms - **Product Dimensions:** 0.75"L x 0.5"W x 0.2"H - **UPC:** 647923366945 ## Images ![WiFi 4 USB Nano Wireless Network Dongle Adapter for Linux (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hg0o08gsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, quick, easy, and effective solution for 10-year-old Windows laptop with obsolete WiFi card *by S***D on October 31, 2025* True plug-and-play for 10-year old Dell Latitude E5540 laptop running Windows 10.

It's running Klipper (OpenNeptu4ne on an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus) and the Armbian operating system detected it beautifully, even running on a usb hub. I've also tested it on a desktop and an old Macbook Air, both running Ubuntu 25.10 and it played very nicely. ## Frequently Bought Together - GenBasic WiFi 4 USB Nano Wireless Network Dongle Adapter for Linux (Black) - TP-Link USB WiFi Adapter for PC(TL-WN725N), N150 Wireless Network Adapter for Desktop - Nano Size WiFi Dongle for Windows 11/10/7/8/8.1/XP/ Mac OS 10.9-10.15 Linux Kernel 2.6.18-4.4.3, 2.4GHz Only - Edimax Wi-Fi 4 802.11n Adapter for PC N150 Nano USB Adapter, 150Mbps, Smallest Wi-Fi 4 Dongle, Win 11 Plug-n-Play, Linux: Ubuntu/Mint Plug-n-Play for Kernel 5.15 and Above, Mac OS, EW-7811Un V2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/495765253-wifi-4-usb-nano-wireless-network-dongle-adapter-for-linux](https://www.desertcart.be/products/495765253-wifi-4-usb-nano-wireless-network-dongle-adapter-for-linux) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
