    Works great - with a Raspberry Pi

    I plugged it into a Raspberry Pi Model B and run raspi-config to set up the WiFi. No problems and I get a link quality of 100/100 as reported by iwconfig even a floor between it and the router. I made a video too.

    Wifi drivers may give you grief.

    When I got this I thought it was faulty, but it really was the drivers. I used this on a C2, the XU4, and even a desktop LMDE install.
    The network would frequently disconnect and even cause the OS to almost freeze up in cases. I didn't see it having problems in the Android variants for Odroid, but the Linux versions had issues.
    After reading on the web . I found many others have had that same problem with this wifi chip used in this. I finally found a patch on gethub that fixed that problem here:
    https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.
    Once it was working it worked good.

    Thanks so much for your review! We'll post the information about the Linux driver patch on the page for this WiFi Module.

    Great wireless dongle

    Not compatible with all USB 3.0 motherboards though, make sure to use USB 2.0 compatibility mode or you may risk frying the WiFi module.

    Thanks for your review! As far as our experience, this works with all USB2 and USB3 single-board computers that have a compatible driver. If you know of a mainboard that does 'fry' this module, let us know so we can do some testing. Thanks!

    Best range WiFi module

    If you need the best range and don't need higher than 2.4GHz, this is the best module. I've tried them all, and this one gets the most range in hard-to-reach areas of my home/business and uses a chipset that is compatible with many/most SBC operating systems.
