Doesn't scan 5GHz, only works on 2.4GHz.

WiFi signal is good, tech support is pathetic, no need to install in Kali. Kali automatically detects the adapter, but the problem is that it doesn't detect the 5GHz network, it only scans and detects the 2.4GHz network. The product is defective.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Some errors

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It was "plug and play " on Windows 10 and MX Linux machines.

I ordered this USB adapter because the wireless adapter I already have doesn't work on a computer I've switched to Linux. Now if I could figure out an easy way to get my Canon inkjet printer working with Linux, I would be fully prepared to dump Windows when they no longer support Windows 10.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Doubtful
