    I don't know why, but it seems like most USB Wi-Fi adapters are simply poorly made. I have purchased probably a half dozen of them over the years from $30-$150 and they all pretty much consistently fail sooner or later regardless.

    I like this product since it can help provide WIFI to my desktop server that I can’t connect to ethernet. A major downside is that it doesn’t support Linux which sucks since most of my servers are Linux-based, and I tried to get it working, but the solutions didn’t work mainly because of limitations. I was using Linux Mint btw. Overall, good product but please give support to Linux-based distro like Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint.

    You asked for my review. It could have been mentioned in the product description (not just buried in the specs ) that this does not work with iOS. Not expecting this issue , I did not try to install it within 15 days, so I can’t even return it.

    I bought this to replace an older one because it kept dropping connection. This thing just made the problem worse. It can't hold a connection with my router for more than a few seconds. Very frustrating considering this was supposedly the best one they had.
