Plug and Play. No problem identifying the usb wifi device. No need for any drivers. It just showed up in the wifi choices. Clicked on it and it worked. (much better than the stock 2012 built in wifi card). I averaged 199 MPS download and 245 MPS upload across 4 speed test sites for a total of 20 tests. My newish phone will get over 300 MBS regularly. So it was a decently speedy. I think the speed is limited because this old computer has only USB 2.0 and that was the max it could get with USB 2.0. A good product. I ultimately chose a cheaper usb wifi that was just 10% faster on the downloads. No complaints though, if the cheap one breaks I will purchase this one. Search around for linux wifi usb and you will find my other reviews and the one I kept. Review: Lifesaver for people working in linux machines -- should be 10 stars - Most of my daily work is heavily based on Linux based OS. The wifi chip on my laptop started malfunctioning and I had no access to wireless internet. My laptop is 8 years old, and I do not plan to buy a new one. Still a lot of life left. Working with wired internet (which I could ) at home is neither easy nor convenient. I was looking since 6 months , a wifi adapter which would be suitable for my linux OS. I tried conventional ones from TPlink and Netgear, but the online drivers available did not work for me. They were so designed for windows that you could plug in it to your windows machine they would work without driver installation. I was literally frustrated, trying to run shell scripts here and there to fix bugs and make the TPLink/ Netgear adapters work for me. But I failed. I came across the Brotrend adapter and bought one. It works like a charm. The linux installation is very easy, if you know basic shell commands (honestly you can just follow the instructions blindly). The support team is super helpful and they provide a detailed step-by-step guide for installing the linux driver. Note, they recommend internet access during driver installation since it downloads some debian package. You can use a wired ethernet connection from your router. The online internet speed check reveals the following metric: ping: 5 ms, download speed 83.40 mbps, upload speed: 75.45 mbps. The speed graphs are almost flat, with no variation. The router is in the first floor, and I work in the second floor. Very happy with my purchase, perhaps elated...I can resume normal work with my linux laptop after 6 months now. I would highly recommend this to people using linux OS, who needs speed boostup, or are interested in working in old laptops whose wifi chips are broken. ## Features - MULTI-OS SUPPORTED: Compatible with all distributions that have Linux kernel 6.2 or newer (after February 2023), such as Ubuntu 24.10~16.04 (all flavors: Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, GNOME, Budgie, Cinnamon, Kylin, MATE, Studio, Unity), Raspberry Pi OS 12~8, Debian 13~8, Linux Mint 22~18, Kali, Bodhi Linux, elementary OS, Feren OS, Freespire, KDE neon, Linux Lite, LinuxFX, LXLE, Netrunner, Nitrux, Peppermint OS, Trisquel, Voyager, Zorin OS; Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 - SUPPORTED ARCHITECTURES: x86_64/x86_32 (PCs, VirtualBox..), aarch64/armhf (Raspberry Pi 2+, Odroid...) - FAST WI-FI SPEED: You can get 867Mbps Wi-Fi speed on 5GHz band or 300Mbps speed on 2.4GHz band, best choice for online 4K video streaming, gaming, high quality music and Youtube by using this AC1200 dual band Ubuntu wireless adapter; it can work 4 times faster than 802.11b/g/n USB wireless adapter - MULTIPLE WORKING MODES: This Linux compatible usb wifi adapter supports these mode: IBSS, Managed, AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO.

I didn't realize that I needed a much stronger wifi adapter until I purchased BrosTrend. Now I don't have those networks hiccups anymore. The wifi is much faster and stronger ( in my opinion).Easy setup and ready to go. ## Frequently Bought Together - BrosTrend Linux USB WiFi Adapter 1200Mbps for Ubuntu Mint Debian Kubuntu Mate Zorin PureOS Raspberry Pi 2+ Windows etc. Linux Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter Wireless Dual Band 5GHz 867Mbps + 2.4GHz 300Mbps - BrosTrend 650Mbps Linux Compatible WiFi Adapter Supports Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Kubuntu, Zorin, PureOS, Raspberry Pi 2+, Windows, Dual Band USB Wireless Adapter w/ Long Range WiFi Antenna - BrosTrend Linux WiFi Adapter for Ubuntu, Mint, Kali, Debian, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Mate, Zorin, PureOS, Raspberry Pi 2+, Windows 11, 1200Mbps, 5GHz/2.4GHz, Long Range 2X5dBi Antennas, USB3.0 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/76731606-brostrend-ac1200-linux-wifi-adapter-for-pc-compatible-with-ubuntu](https://www.desertcart.at/products/76731606-brostrend-ac1200-linux-wifi-adapter-for-pc-compatible-with-ubuntu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
