    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.
