Often you can indentify adapters that are "multi-state" as they are advertised as "free driver" or "free installation driver. Both companies regularly change chipsets while keeping the same model number on their products. This makes it very difficult for Linux users to buy a product with a specific chipset with any degree of certainty. This also makes it difficult for me to post links and recommendations so I will not do so but that is okay because there are many good adapters available.
TP-Link and D-Link's Linux support is very poor as their product support sites generally only contain very old Linux drivers that won't work with modern distros We know that Linux cannot be properly supported in the manner that both companies use. This is sad because both companies have made a lot of money from Linux by using it inside many of their products, yet they do not return the support. Note: Adapters made by two companies need to be highlighted. The quality and reliability of most Panda and almost all Alfa adapters is good Not all Alfa adapters use in-kernel drivers.
The Alfa adapters that do use in-kernel drivers are listed below. Products by both companies are widely available. I have tested adapters ranging from N to AC Based on upstream work and work on core distros, I expect that we will see WPA3 working well on the newest releases of almost all popular Linux distros by mid Many distros already work well. USB extention cables with cradles can be very useful with USB WiFi adapters as they will allow you to position the adapter for best performance.
The following cables are shown as examples:. Cablecc USB 3. Note: Some adapters won't work with some extention cables and cradles. It is best to buy from retailers that will let you return their products as it seems the only way to know is trial and error. Important: Price and availability of listed adapters is subject to change. Updating the list of adapters does take a considerable amount of time.
I try to complete a review of the links at least once per month. This site has increased in popularity to the point that readers of this site may cause inventory problems for some sellers at times so you may need to wait for inventory to be refreshed.
To help with this problem, I have listed multiple links from multiple sellers for some products. If you see any problems, please post in Issues. Market Conditions: - I have been seeing product shortages and a lot of increases in pricing. The global shortage of chips caused by fab plants being shut down for periods during and the inadequate investment in new fab plants for many years has led to tight markets that have caused high and rising prices for some products and shortages of some products.
This problem has recently been compounded by international shipping problems. This may continue for some time If you are on a budget, you might want to consider "used" adapters as they are available. Note: The link immediately following this line is a short quick reference list that does not include online links to the products, reviews nor does it show all of the available adapters so it is recommended that you read the entire document that continues after The Short List:.
Note: - Rokland is now shipping orders but there is a message about a heavy backlog that may delay shipping on standard and international orders by days. So, it appears a shipment arrived. Let's hope it was a big shipment. Hopefully this situation is sorted out in the near future as this adapter is VERY popular with Linux users. It is normally a little more expensive. Ships to Canada and US. It is mid-priced, well made and works well in managed mode, master mode and monitor mode.
It is a very solid, stable performer in 5 GHz AP mode. It runs cool and uses a maximum of only about mA power when under heavy load. You really need to use it with a Raspberry Pi 4b so as to get the full througput capability. It works well with desktop systems an extention cable with cradle is helpful. It also works well with laptop systems. This adapter is a high quality product with good range and is plug and play in all of the modern distros of Linux.
Highly recommended. That is not what you want. Many sellers are having inventory problems. I have tested it with various desktop and laptop systems. The cost of this adapter is very low. My experience is that this adapter does provide good stable performance. In fact, during my testing, it outperformed in link quality and signal level vs. For more information, see How to Modeswitch. To clarify: Most Linux users will never know that this adapter is multi-state because the usb-modeswitch utility is installed and active on almost all modern Linux distros so the above adapter will "just work.
As the OS is updated this problem will go away. I like this setup because it can route near gigabit speeds. The rpi runs kodi, a shairport server and a bluetooth sound receiver server too. I bought the wifi adapter from AliExpress. Walmart - Walmart has many sellers of this adapter. Note: The distance from adapter to access point was about 20 feet through 2 walls. I was using a clean DFS channel and set iperf3 to run for 2 minutes so as to see if there were any abnormalities that would show up.

You receiving misleading advertising, because they are not showing clearly this on the technical specifications of the device. The question here is you will pay for a half WiFi 6 Router?? So far I have test most of all WiFi 6 mesh linksys Reuters including MR, Mx and the only one with this Issue is the Mx the most expensive router from the line.
Installed and since that time has had intermittent connection. Performed ALL trouble shooting and still issue. Called Linksys Support - call back took over an hour of waiting - only to be told they don't support the MX5 and was transferred. After being on hold 1 hour 38 minutes, hung up. What a waste of time!!!! Returning this piece of JUNK and going back to my old router that has MUCH better signal strength, coverage, and connectivity and doesn't cost and arm and a leg!!!!
I bought 3 of this router and put it around my house on Feb, I updated to the latest Firmware as of Aug, It is always go to I tried other laptops that have the AX wifi, same thing!
I called Linksys support and spend hours! Only to find out in order for my Laptop's The router have 1 2. I hope they fix this bug! Why a router cost double the price can't do this? I have a strong signal in every spot in my house. Absolutely no dead spots. The wifi speed is also allot faster throughout my house making my streaming experience much more enjoyable.
We stream everything at my house, no cable tv, and the MX5 handles it great. With multiple laptops, Ipad, Iphones, etc. Just a heads up, the MX5 unit is large. Very happy with the new wifi system. Great job Linksys! Unboxing you find the contents are: A Quick Start Setup guide, the Velop AX, a ribbon ethernet cable for connection to internet via cable modem , a power brick vac to 12vdc 4A All product parts are white and all nicely neatly packaged.
The setup guide asked for Linksys app to be installed on IOs or on android platform. Setup on app has easy to follow steps. There is one LED that is on a top corner that shows status of Velop by changes in color and blinks. Back of setup guide has light explanation. Light can be blue, purple, yellow and red. Steady blue when connected. Setup was fairly easy, but takes a little over half an hour with the update. My house is about sq.
It is front right corner of second floor I replaced a Linksys EA I used the same SSID and password and it connected to over 35 devices in that time.
