Review on Powerful 650Mbps Dual Band USB 2.0 WiFi Adapter with Internal Antenna for Raspberry Pi - Compatible with Windows, Linux, macOS & Raspbian by Donald Manipole

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good key but recommended drivers do not support 5.8 kernels

I am using this wifi adapter on an old Lubuntu 20.04 LTS 5.8 kernel PC. The recommended drivers for the product state that it supports kernels 4.4.x through 5.6.x. Since I'm using the 5.8 kernel, I didn't use the recommended git repository. Instead, I used an alternative git repo that says it has general support for 5.x kernels. I created an alternative driver and installed it using DKMS. Driver confusion aside, the key works pretty well in both ranges.

Pros
  • 650Mbps
Cons
  • Big and bulky
