A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

The adapter itself is good, but its software part let us down. On Windows everything is fine, yes, but on Linux it's a problem. Be careful, never deal with Wi-Fi network controllers from the manufacturer Realtek. Of course, I found the driver, unofficial, which performs almost all functions, except for packet injection, but the sediment remained. Yes, and I also had to tinker with it, compile it, manually install it, then still a pleasure.
﻿

Pros

1. Reasonable price; 2. The presence of an antenna; 3. Reliability. I bought two adapters in early December 2022, at the time of writing this review, nothing happened to the adapters, just covered with dust, but they work correctly.

Cons

The main disadvantage of this model, and specifically the V2 revision with the Realtek controller, is the terrible support for Linux-based operating systems, troubles with drivers. The official drivers only support older versions of Linux, the built-in drivers of the kernel itself have limited functionality. For example, it is simply impossible to create an access point, the packet monitoring mode does not work, as well as the injection of packets into the air (the last two functions are not needed by an ordinary user).

For its price, maybe it's okay, but in return I will look for another model.
