    Item was new in box, or at least unused. This particular item was, at the time, extremely hard to find due to high demand and gross undersupply in the market. There were a few in Asia, a couple in Romania, one in Kenya, and then this guy(!) What a relief, and no price gouging either. Item shipped fast, showed up fast, was as described, model and part # legit, and still is performing as intended. It works well in cooling the toaster oven/CPU combo that I have.

    Great product. Works as advertised.

    Plugged this adapter into a USB 2.0 on a HP 8000 Elite Desktop with Intel Core 2 Duo CPL E8400 @ 3.00GHz x 2 running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and it found my wireless network immediately. Entered my password and I was connected. Easy!

    Pricey, but works

    Honestly. I purchased this product to support the open source community. It is grossly overpriced for the service it performs. I find it is a bit slower when compared to the $2-3 usb wifi However, it does indeed work. That said, I have relied on open source Linux for sometime now and view this purchase as chipping in to the open source kitty.

    Works flawless with Mint 18+

    Linux has very poor support for the Ralink type wifi installed on my HP laptop. I've struggled with it for years. Recently, an "upgrade" killed my wifi; I spent hours searching for and testing fixes. This Atheros chip thing fixed it with absolutely no pain. Just plug it in. Yes, it is a little pricey and the shipping charge is excessive but it was the most cost effective solution to my problem.

    Performance improvement after not so easy install

    When I got it working, the Penguin usb adapter improved reception significantly over the on-board wifi card in my Lenovo laptop with a Ubuntu Linux OS. Getting it working properly took a while because the website instructions, while seemingly clear enough, didn't work for me. I was able to find info on the web that enabled me to shut down the on-board card that was interfering with the network selection of the Penguin adapter. While the cost of the adapter is a bit more expensive than some others, guaranteed operation with a Linux OS and the performance improvement made it worth it to me.

    Save your hair - buy this adapter!!!

    I recently loaded Linux Mint on an old Dell laptop to see if I could make it useable again. Linux loaded with no problem but I pulled my hair out (not good at my age) trying to get the wifi adapter to work. So I thought, lets throw some more money at the problem and see if it will work. Worked like a champ. Put it in a usb slot, powered up and it said "Hey look what I found. You got a password for the router". We were off to the races. One Dead Dell back in service.
