Review on BrosTrend 650Mbps Linux WiFi Adapter: High-Speed Connectivity for Ubuntu, Mint, Kali, Debian, and more, with Long Range External 5dBi Antenna by Sameer Hilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good WiFi adapter for Debian/Ubuntu Linux

Been using Linux Mint 20.1 for about 5 weeks now. The only small issue is that the drivers that came with the adapter didn't match the ones I received, but the company emailed the correct driver straight away. I didn't have to contact them, it just happened as part of the purchase. Really good, proactive customer service. I've been using a ThinkPenguin Wi-Fi adapter I bought last year, and while I want to support Linux-focused businesses, this BrosTrend adapter is better for a number of important reasons: it has better range, it supports 5G (the ThinkPenguin not), It was more stable (meaning the Penguin adapter had to be reset randomly every few weeks for reasons I never could figure out) and cheaper. simpler, but if you have at least some knowledge (like me) to install linux drivers I would recommend this BrosTrend. I don't know why other people using Mint are having problems. You just have to match the driver with the model from the list in the email that the company sends you.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • I will add later
