It works, connection has been up running for days now
The product works as expected. I was able to hook this up to my Raspberry PI B 1.2 with Raspbian 9 (stretch). Something was wrong with my raspbian install so I couldn't hook up through the Desktop. I had to open a terminal and do the following:sudo vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf# add the followingctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdevThen restart.Then open terminal again and type:sudo raspi-configChoose: 2 Network OptionsChoose: N2 Wi-fiYou should have to choose your country somewhere in there too. I don't remember where I did that.

It does work on Rpi but requires patience
I'll give it 4 stars but it probably deserves 3 because of the lack odocuments. For some reason, I forgot to check the stars when I ordered it so like everyone else it wouldn't work.But following this guide got it working:[...]The step towards the end: "sudo ifup wlan0" put that line in your /etc/rc.local to enable the device on boot.Seems to work fine now. Eventually I will try to use it in AP mode, I have no expectations regarding that. Good luck.

Great out-of-box plug-and-play usb wifi for the Raspberry Pi
I took a chance and purchased this device. I was nervous that I would have to go through some crazy driver or OS configuration to get this usb wifi going. I was amazed when I plugged it in to the Raspberry Pi Model B and it connected directly to my router (after selecting it's SSID and putting in the KEY) and it worked. I am going to purchase more of these for my other Pis.

Perfectly wireless
Just what I needed to get my Pi wireless. Easy to add to my Raspberry Pi B.

works....kinda
I got this card so I wouldn't have to run a wire into my living room. After a day and a half of fiddle farting around, I just ran the wire. I could get it online and connected to my wifi, but it would kick any other devices off that used a draft n card. It was frustrating and now it just sits in my drawer. Granted, it could be my router, but literally every other device is fine and doesn't cause problems.

Works great with Victron Color Control GX
Took a chance since it had Linux support and looked just like the module available from Victron. Plugged in and was immediately recognized and able to be joined to Wifi network. Small and will easily fit behind the Color Control GX panel.

A piece of junk. Overheated and melted internals. ...
A piece of junk. Overheated and melted internals. No longer works after a week of usage. Was plugged in a RPi0 through a USB hub (amazon's brand) and used under normal circumstances.

When using with Raspberry Pi, smaller is better.
I love the small footprint of this dongle over others I have purchased several months ago for my Raspberry Pi(s), and I haven't noticed any difference between them. It is easier to misplace, so be mindful of where you leave it. ;)

Well, it did work, even if it was for a few days
Yes, it worked with my Pi B+ straight out of the packet. On the internet etc for a few hours. Got home a few days later and decided to go online. For some reason the Pi refused to boot. On investigation, I noticed this WiFi adapter very very hot and removed it. Straight away the Pi was back up and running. Tried using it on a few more devices, all of which recognised the Adapter for what it is but the WiFi part just doesn't work any more. I really can't be bothered with the hassle to send it back (it would probably cost me more in time / fuel than I paid for it) and have written the money off. I've decided to get a slightly larger WiFi adapter elsewhere but even then will put it on a cable away from my Pi (one lesson learned). Fortunately, it seems unaffected by the heat that had built up.

Brilliant
This was an add on to an existing raspberry pi kit. The connect between the devices were seemlessly allowing the connection between my WiFi and the device easily with minimal intervention from myself. A great add on to my existing kit.

Works "out of the box". Good performance and low power requirement.
On Raspberry PI...just plug it in and it works! Fine on Raspbian, Raspbmc, OpenElec without the need to install anything. Also very low power requirement (110mA), so ideal if you are using with other USB devices. I believe the max speed of this adapter is 150Mbps.I have mine uploading images from two webcams to the web simultaneously, and also functioning as an Airplay receiver.However, if range and speed are particularly important to you I would look instead for a 300Mpps WiFi dongle with a built in antenna (note that these would require more power so you'll need a bigger power supply or USB hub though).

Pi Connect
I bought this to have WiFi connectivity on my Raspberry Pi.The product is made up of a molded plastic material and the USB connector . The adapter is very small so does not cause any obstructions to my Pi unit, but being so small it could be quite easy to loose if not careful. Great buy

Item provided was not compatible with the Raspberry Pi
I bought this for its compatibility with the Raspberry Pi and its drivers. In the event, the item provided did not prove to be compatible nor were its drivers available on line. After discussion with 'Pi Hut', it would seem that there may be a stocking issue somewhere in the supply chain and what was provided may not be the advertised product. Whatever, it has been returned and I'm trying my luck with an alternative vendor.
