Panda Wireless® PAU0A AC600 Dual Band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wireless AC USB Adapter - Win 7/8/10/11, Zorin, Mint, Ubuntu, MX Linux, Manjaro, Fedora, Rocky, Kali Linux and Raspbian

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS works out of the box, plug and play, no driver build needed. Immediately recognized within seconds could connect. Highly recommend...will take some time on quality and stability and repost but using on second floor of house, RAX29 Nighthawk is on first floor. 80 Mb/sec download could be better but this is likely ranging and power issue. Homelab PC without wifi built in so I just wanted to add wifi usb without hassle. The Panda has Mediatek chipset...important! Most of the other USB Wifi that work / don't work on Linux need driver building which is ok but not for novice to try and also chipset implementation and driver release which is so hit and miss because Realtek chipset is terrible. No development on this. Commits on Github and although fine driver...meh...I just want the thing to work and not go down the rabbit hole to config. I sent back two TP-Link to get here.

Works on my raspberry pi zero 2 w. It is plug and play and I did not have to install any drivers. I am on os version bookworm.I used the Raspberry Pi Imager from the raspberry pi website which asked me for the wifi password while writing to the sd card. Once I booted my pi and plugged this wifi adapter.I rannmclito see the devices. I saw wlan0 was the default and my wifi adapter was wlan1Then I rannmcli con showand saw preconfigured was assigned to wlan0. This is where the credentials are stored, not sure.To change to wlan1, runnmcli connection modify preconfigured connection.interface-name wlan1and then runsudo rebootto restart and when your pi boots up, it should use the wifi adapter.

I saw a video on Youtube recommending this unit. My pc is older so I installed Linux Mint 22.1 . I am from the Windows world so knew litle about Linux and usb issues. Internet connection happened instantly and its worked perfectly since. Great product!

Works with the driver mt76x0u.Its great, since it is extremely rare to find wireless dongles that directly support Linux kernel.Others use mostly realtek chipsets, which are trash on Linux, but this one has MediaTek chipset (mt7610u), which support Linux.I managed to get 224mbps on 5Ghz on a NanoPi R5S, which is enough for me. But for some reason, on the 2.4Ghz band, I only get 20mbps, which is awfully slow, but it may be just interference, since I have other 3 routers nearby, which would cause serious interference.Also, don't ask for good range on this form factor, I bought this knowing I wouldn't get good range on this small dongle.

This wifi dongle is on a Jetson device with a Linux 4.9 kernel. Got the latest tarball from the Panda website and successfully built the drivers for it. Spent more time than I should have troubleshooting why it was not connecting the 5G radio and sometimes after connecting it would not stay long and would disconnect. The top advice on the web is weak signal if a wifi device behaves in this manner. I could not believe this to be case because the wireless router was in the next room separated by two back to back closets. Other devices in this same room have no problem and in fact some are much further away. Finally I moved the Jetson to the router's room and put it 2 feet away from the router. Now it works fine.

I recommend to NOT buy this device. Ridiculously weak signal reception.

I have an HP laptop ( T500 ). I bought this USB Wi_Fi adapter in the hope of getting better wi-fi instead of using OEM wi-fi card in laptop. I am running MX-Linux OS 23.2 on the laptop. I followed the instructions and it took awhile to get through it. Somethings you need to do aren't explained clearly in the instruction manual on the CD for Linux. Once I got the steps done correctly, the driver installed. Rebooted the laptop and then inserted the USB Wi-Fi adapter and then connected to my Wi-Fi network. Did a speed test through Ookla Speed Test website. I got 160 Mbps download speed from X-Finity server, whereas the OEM Wi-Fi card in laptop I got 16 Mbps at best. My modem speed is 500 Mbps. Much better speed. So, in essence, it worked out really good. This Wi-Fi USB adapter is not plug and play for Linux. You have to install the driver.

Fantastic!!! I have an old Raspberry Pi 2 B (it doesn't have wi-fi built in). I bought two of these to turn my Pi into a RaspAP to use as a travel router with WireGuard VPN. These were plug and play, I didn't have to download any drivers, I just plugged them in and the Pi recognized them both. Speed with 5 plus 2.4 wifi bands was great. I highly recommend these for their cost and ease of connectivity.
