Review on CHUYI WiFi Adapter for PC Desktop: 1200Mbps USB 3.0 Wireless Network Card Dongle with Dual Band 5dBi Antenna – Windows 10/8/7/XP/Vista Mac OS Compatible by Adam Johnson

External USB dongles are great for accessing Wi-Fi remotely and connecting another antenna to boost the signal. For the latter, the USB adapter must have an RP-SMA connector. It's a gold thread with a plastic antenna screwed to it (brilliant!). Not only does this adapter have the right connector, you can literally take the case apart in seconds. The Nakes board can now find a new home in a different housing, receive modifications such as changing plugs or hard wiring. It just takes a strong thumbnail to pry it open. If you want to keep it closed, I recommend masking tape or glue it. This "feature" of course doesn't make Chuhi very weatherproof if that's what you're looking for. But with an extension cord, you can keep it in a dry place. For example a PET bottle, an ABS pipe, an OtterBox 2000 case - or, well... yes... your bag. Just make sure you follow the rules. The FCC is no joke. There are many guides on how to build your own antenna. And since this device is certified, you should be good to go. This is not a plug and play device. The adapter is based on the RTL8812BU chipset. Chihi supplies drivers for one of those mini CD-ROMs that are so popular with cheap Chinese hardware manufacturers. I never use them. It's not hard Find the latest driver online from a trusted source that doesn't list the wrong word "wireless" in the manual. Linux users can download it on GitHub. Otherwise, it works like any other Wi-Fi adapter. He does it on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
