📶 D-Link AC600 Mini Wireless USB WiFi Adapter, Dual Band MU-Mimo Wi-Fi Network for Desktop Laptop (Model DWA-171), Black Review

I've had the WLAN adapter for almost a week. I bought 2 and they both work out of the box with Windows 10. I got them to replace an N 150 wireless adapter. I'm using mine with a 5GHz bandwidth and they seem to work fine. One is on the other side of the wall and the other is about 12 feet from the router, so nothing too complicated.

It does what is advertised. But not these gadgets. First I had to move the router within 15 feet of my computer before it picked up a signal and even allowed me to connect to the router.

In order for this to work with a newer Linux kernel, you need to find and download a git repository. My initial review was not accepted, maybe because the url was provided as external urls seem to be forbidden, so I'll just say look for the git repo rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux. ArchLinux offers an AUR package for this. You will probably need to reboot after installing the module.

I bought it to use on a laptop with a dual boot system - Ubuntu and Windows 10. Of course, the product comes without instructions for Ubuntu, but I have a link to [ .] found smooth as silk. Then I tried installing the Windows driver from the DVD that came with the key. It was a nightmare. The operating system prevented me from installing it because it was "untrusted". I went to the manufacturer's website and there was an FAQ that said something like "I can't install this on Windows 10"…
