Review on πŸ”’ ASUS USB-N13 C1 300Mbps USB Wireless Adapter: Enhanced Security with WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 Encryption Standards Support (USB-N13 C1) by John Murphy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work at all. The installation disk does not work. The support line is useless. (Linux/CentOS)

I expected this to be out of the box as I've read elsewhere that this device works well with existing CentOS drivers. So I was surprised when I booted up and the system didn't see the Wi-Fi. map in general. What surprised me even more is that the included instructions are only three lines long: 1) Insert the support CD into the optical drive and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. 2) Connect to a wireless network in Windows 10.3) Setup is complete. That's enough for a device that says *on the box* that it works with Mac and Linux. There are no instructions on the CD itself either, but still. I found the zipped file in the Linux folder, unzipped it and ran the installation script. This gave me two obscure errors and the output "Check Error Messages". (That's how it's spelled.) Tech support was a waste of time. I had to download the driver from a website identical to the one it came with. Same result. It is already packed and ready for return.

Pros
  • 300Mbps - Excellent connection and fast Wi-Fi Secure Key.
Cons
  • High price
