Pretty much useless
Pretty terrible. Drops the connection once every 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile, two different laptops and a phone have no problems in the same spot (5 meters from the AP through a single interior wall. Also, despite technically supporting 802.11n, it does NOT support the 5GHz spectrum.
Contra
- low range
- drops connections
- no 5GHz support
Intermittent drops in connection when used on a Linux system (driver issues)
Bought for it's Linux compatibility but there are known issues with the driver embedded within the Linux kernel (rtl8192cu) which causes intermittent drops in connection.
Pro
- Easy to install
Contra
- Linux driver has issues
Install and go
Install and go, is recognised by Windows 10 and is available without further
driver installation.Pro
- Simple installation
- cheap
Decent wifi reception
Finally I have a usable WiFi connection again from my desktop to the Swisscom Internet Box Standard about 12m (and 2 wooden doors) away. The built-in WiFi adapter had barely seen a signal, but various laptops work even better than the Asus PCE in the same place.
Not WI-FI compatible 6
It worked fine, but only until I changed my router, which runs on the WI-FI 6 standard, so it no longer recognised my WI-FI :/.
I had to change my WI-FI card.Pro
- Works well
Contra
- Not WI-FI compatible 6
Good WLAN-N adapter (proven ASUS quality)
Pro
- High speed (for the WLAN-N standard)
- Worked for years until now (removed it)
- Also suitable for Windows from XP, and Linux
Contra
- In the meantime, there are adapters for AC/AX standard that cost similarly little.
