Review on Adapter 866Mbps 300Mbps Wireless Linx2 6X by Don Kishore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Plug and play with modern Linux distributions

Works without the need to install a driver on modern Linux distributions. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10, Linux Mint 20.1. Manjaro and Raspberry Pi OS. The version I bought without the CD is a multi-state device, but the Linux utility usb_modeswitch is active on most modern Linux distributions and automatically puts the adapter directly into wireless adapter mode. Currently, the Raspberry Pi operating system needs updated data files for usb_modeswitch to work automatically. All in all, this is a decent adapter. I get good service through 2 walls, over 50 feet. Uses Mediatek mt7612u chipset. The driver for this chipset is supported by the Linux kernel and is of good quality.

Pros
  • SUPERIOR SPEED
Cons
  • Quality
