What a headache. And it still doesn't work.

Looks nice and high quality, but it's actually a paperweight. It has nothing to do with it. Couldn't get it to work with my Rpi 4, my Android or my Mac. Never showed up as an external device. There were no drivers, no instructions, not even an antenna adapter in the kit. The website also gives you almost no support or information on how to get it working. Don't waste your money, buy what works. 36€ definitely not worth it
