Amazing Wi-Fi Boost for Raspberry Pi

This product revolutionized my Raspberry Pi experience. As a result of using this product, I found that my Wi-Fi range and connectivity have immensely improved. I could now easily stream my favorite shows without any buffering. The product is perfect for anyone who uses their Raspberry Pi for video streaming or other online applications. The only downside is that it is quite expensive, but the quality clearly justifies the cost. Overall, I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to improve…

Pros
  • Great Wi-Fi boost, improved streaming experience.
Cons
  • Expensive.

Works with Raspberry Pi

One of the few dual band WiFi dongles (uses RTL8811CU chipset) that works with Raspberry Pi. Not exactly plug and play as I had to manually compile the driver (I'm using Raspian 10/Buster) but instructions were provided and it wasn't difficult. Works great on 2 and 5 GHz.

Pros
  • Warranty
Cons
  • Not reliable

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
