The speed is great in Win10. Does NOT work with Linux/Ubuntu.

Update 07/03/2021: I resuscitated an old Dell Vostro 260 for church and pulled it out of the spare parts box, my TL-TN725N v1 didn't slow it down. The speed for this on Win10 is excellent with my Netgear AC1200 router. The speed test photo speaks for itself. Having the drivers on a USB stick is a plus, you no longer have to hunt for a disc or download it to another computer. Tested on Dell Vostro 260s, Crucial 240GB SSD, 8GB G-Skill DDR3, Quad Core i5-2400 3.1GHz, New Win10 Pro installed. Pro is a small price for an AC600 device, small form factor (about 1/2 inch). I just bought 2 more cons - only compatible with windows or mac os - not recognized by ubuntu 16.04. should work with Linux since it is a Realtek chipset. Support site not found. I will look for driver options. I haven't tested it on Windows (yet). I've noticed that the computer (Dell Optiplex 760) stops if it's connected to USB when booting (configured to boot from USB first). It must be removed and then installed after boot. maybe because it has a flash drive with Windows and macOS drivers preinstalled. lsusb output: bus 001 device 004: ID 0dbf: 0300 Jess-Link International Storage Adapter (17MB) bus 002 device 004: ID 0bda: 1a2b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
