    • Works with ubuntu on Raspberry pi
Review Image by R. Schaffer R. Schaffer
I have a raspberry pi that I want to use as a moisture detector in my basement. Getting cat-5 to the location is next to impossible, so I thought I would try wifi with it. A quick check online shows this model has drivers for linux, including the raspberry. As I have the pi already connected to my network via cat 5, so I can write my code, I kept it there to install the drivers for the wireless adaptor, so having to have it online to install the drivers is no big deal. In my case, with the low powered cpu in the raspberry, and limited memory, the install process appeared to hang, and it would throw an error (in the error was a line that I was told to enter to finish the install, which I promptly ignored the first time, dumb-me that I am.) So I emailed BrosTrend, sending the requested info, asking what to do. I promptly received a reply saying they received my mail and would have someone get back to me. Sometime overnight I received an email with the answer... run the command in the error message and wait it out. Both emails were very polite, and I felt comfortable 'talking' to them. Anyway, after a bit of time, the drivers were installed! It turns out the ubuntu autoupdate routine interfered with the driver install, due to the low processing power of the pi. However, running speed tests on my gig service and Ubiquiti wireless network delivers some impressive speeds approaching 500mbps, and this is on my 25$ raspberry pi. Linux reports it is a stable 870mbit connection. I plan to connect the BrosTrend adapter to my laptop and see what kind of speeds I can get. I would highly recommend this to anyone, and already had a work-mate write the name down to reference for his own use! The picture makes it look large, but that's because the computer is so tiny! It is about as long as a pack of gum and about half as thick. ... show more

Review Image by Destiny Anderson Destiny Anderson
Bought this device in 2020 for my Ubuntu desktop. Fast forward to last week, and I am now using it for a different PC running Linux Mint. I did have some initial issues getting this adapter to work but the BrosTrend tech support got me up and running after days of me troubleshooting the issue. For that, I'm leaving this review years later. ... show more

    • Not Plug-n-Play on Linux
I gave this unit four stars only because once you have the adapter installed, it does the job well that it is designed to do. What exactly is it designed to do? That is part of where the catch comes in. It says it "works on Linux" but really they should have said it works on Debian based distributions. Others, which are not officially supported, they also provided instructions for on the web. I had in mind that this adapter would work to aid me in installing distributions to try out (I do distro reviews on YouTube). The first one I installed it into was a Debian based system, and the instructions were pretty clear on how to do it, even if a bit outdated (no need to add "busybox" onto the command, unless you are installing it on an ancient system). But you run one command and it is installed. That's fine for existing systems, but you have to have a LAN connection until you get it installed. Especially if and when you install a new system. So I would literally have to install it every time I tried out a new distro on my computer, and I can't do that without installing the distro first. On top of that, I could only install it on Debian based systems. When I followed the instructions for Arch Linux installation (it isn't officially supported nor a tested install), it involved extracting the source code from the DEB file and compiling it. They gave pretty good instructions on how to go about it, though with one typo or mistake ('sudo pacman -Sy' will not install anything on your computer, it just updates the repositories. It should be 'sudo pacman -S <pkg name>'). However, i encountered a driver error that I could do nothing to fix. So, "no Arch for me!" (says the Arch Nazi). At least on that computer. At least, not without using a temp LAN connection. Which I had hoped to get away from using. So despite the good speed and all, there are two issues that Linux users need to be aware of: 1) This is not a "plug n play" adapter. If you plan on using this to install a distribution or two, or more, don't buy this as you will not be able to use it to install anything since there is no way to install it until after you have installed the distro. This driver, as of today, cannot be found in any of the distribution repos. 2) This only has official support on Debian based distros such as Ubuntu and most any based on either Debian or Ubuntu, which probably covers somewhere around 55% of Linux users. Everyone else is lucky if it does install after using the instructions. And I'll throw in a 3) The "hidden" install instructions are in a PDF file on the mini-CD that comes with the unit, in the "Linux" directory. Why they don't tell folks that on the paper instructions for Windows and Mac that come with it, is unknown. Especially when this unit is advertised as being specifically for Linux users. Yet, at first glance, as several have said in these reviews, there doesn't appear to be any instructions for Linux. So who would I recommend this wifi adapter to? I would recommend it to anyone who has a bit of ability with a terminal/command line (one line for Debian users), just click and paste (probably why they put the instructions into a PDF file) and hit enter, pretty easy actually. And anyone with a Debian system, who doesn't plan on installing a bunch of systems, and who has access to a LAN Ethernet connection. If that description fits you, this is a great wifi adapter, look no further. Just be aware, DO NOT expect the Linux kernel to see and install this adapter out of the box. Because, well, it just won't do it. It's not designed to do that. ... show more

    • Easy to install on Linux
Just received it and installed on Ubuntu 22.04. Followed the procedure in the manufacturer page (https://www.brostrend.com/pages/ac1l-download). All worked down to the letter. Before I had a Techkey AC-1200 which has the same chip, worked great on windows, but on linux had a max throughput of 0.8 Mbps ... terrible. This Brostrend reached 98 Mbps in my network. There is one issue though, as others reported, the dongle is too wide and didn't fit with the power cord of my mini PC next to it. Had to use USB cable extender to connect it. Not a biggie for me, but might be a big issue for others. ... show more

    • Working Internet connection required to downlolad Linux drivers
The only issue I have had was the need for a working Internet connection to download and install the drivers in my Linux (Debian 10) machine. As a suggestion to the vendor: Allow download of the needed files to removable media, such as a USB stick, from a different machine, (or the same machine) prior to installation. I was lucky I could tether the machine to my mobile phone to access the Internet: As long as the machine has Internet access, download and installation was reasonably fast and effective. Once installed, however, it is working like a champ! It is even finding several WiFi APs that my previous USB WiFi adapter was not able to pick up. I use the default NetworkManager (NM) installed with the base Debian system. Within moments of completing [download, compile, install] driver, NM was able to find, associate, and link to my Home WiFi and have me online and running. _I_ did not even need to log out or reboot, but some people may need to so the kernel drivers load properly. (Note, however, that I suggest you update your system first, to limit the need to restart system and user binaries and services...) ... show more
