Funciona muy bien y es muy fácil de configurar como extensor de alcance, o como quieras y tiene mucho alcance con la doble antena de 9db

Leider keine Verbesserung der Reichweite oder Signalstärke. Sehr komplizierte Rücksendung - ohne Retourenschein - sehr umständlich!
Sehr schade, hätte mir mehr versprochen!

usato come access point e switch. funsiona bene, ha un buon segnale grazie alle antenne grandi. Configurato facilmente. Ottima a programmazione per attivare e disattivare il wifi ad orari predefitnit- L'unico difetto: 1 volta alla settimana gli devo fare un riavvio perchè si pianta. a parte ciò per 18euri cosa vuoi di più dalla vita?

Bin mit dem Artikel nicht zufrieden, weil eine Konnektion mit Linux-Mint nicht machbar war.
Gebe den Artikel zur Gutschrift zurück
Die Lieferung war allerdings superschnell; Bote war sehr freundlich.

Great little product, only one small problem, but not a deal breaker
This is a great little product, it isn't perfect though. So let's start with a little back story, my computer would no longer boot into the OS so I had to do a few things to salvage it, including reinstalling Windows. When I did that, my internal WiFi adapter would no longer work. I tried to let a few people look at it, but none of them could do anything. So with that being the only problem, I got this little guy. It is nice and small, barely protruding out of the USB port so there really isn't any worry of it getting damaged or damaging the port by getting caught on something. It was also a cheap solution to my problem and has not had a problem connecting to my WiFi at all. The only reason it gets only 4 stars instead of 5 is that the signal strength and data transfer speeds are not as high as with the internal adapter. Of course I expected this due to the small size and no additional antenna, but it is a downside to it. If you are always in a high strength WiFi area, then you won't have much of a problem. I can still stream videos and such, but if I was trying to stream 4K or doing a lot of data transfer, this may not be the best solution.

Inexpensive, Easy Install, High Quality, Very Durable, and Extremely Reliable
Some how my son managed to kill the WIFI network in his laptop computer. Rather than face an expensive repaired and being without the system for an extended period of time, I ordered one of these and in two days he was back up and running and it has never missed a lick. Sometime later, I had loaded one of my older laptops to my ex-wife, and again somehow the internal WIFI interface managed to die. Edimax to the rescue, I ordered my second adapter and gave it to her when it came it. Not very technical, she managed to install the device and drivers and configure it for her home WIFI network. This makes the third one I've ordered. Not due to a failed interface, but a desire to have my desktop system wireless. I decided to move my cable modem/WIFI router combination to another room rather than were my home office is located. So I installed this is my desktop system and now it's off and running wireless. Eventually I will be setting up another system for my younger son and it to will have one of these and be wireless as well.
A few months have past and I'm continuing on my process of making all the devices in the house wireless. Been doing some reading and was wanting to get more speed out of my wireless connection on my primary desktop. As it stands, it this Edimax has plenty of speed for browsing, YouTube videos and most of the time Streaming Videos. I do a lot of remote desktop to work and on occasion I was getting some lagging and have upgraded this one to an Inamax AC1200 which I will review over there. I've moved this one on the another system in the house. Great performer and never misses a step.

Perfect for Linux - Updated
The original review below was for the Edimax EW-7811Un 150Mbps 11n Wi-Fi USB Adapter, Nano Size.
It worked so well I decided to buy the AC1200 model. That review is at the bottom.
I don't know where I bought this. I thought I bought it on Amazon but I guess not. Anyway I have had it for about a year. I use it on various laptops because it is always faster than the internal Wifi and it is so tiny that I can just leave it plugged in and not worry about it getting snapped off.
You may have to install the drivers on old Linux kernels. However, it ran out of the box for me on Manjaro running kernel 4.14. When I plugged it into my Linux Mint 19 (Linux kernel 4.15) the Network Manager did not see it. It did show on a lsusb so I started to look for the drivers. While getting ready to install them, it just started working. It also ran straight away on a very old, very small Acer running Peppermint 9, also with Linux Kernel 19. It connects at 150 mbs every-time on every machine and Linux. I plan to buy the dual band version of this. I am very happy with Edimax.
Edimax AC1200 Wi-Fi USB Adapter Supports Web 2, MU-MIMO, Nano Size Lets You Plug it and Forget it, for Windows, Mac OS, Black/Silver (EW-7822ULC)
I installed this on my Linux Mint 19.1 laptop. It sees it in lsusb right away but does not start up. I searched for the driver based on the id # in the lsusb and found the Edimax website with very clear and straight forward directions, giving each command necessary. However it was not for mine. You need to make sure that you search for the EW model number. There are several and they use different drivers and apply to specific Linux kernels. You may want to search before you buy to make sure it supports the kernel you are using. I plan test it on the latest Manjaro, I am running the 4.14 kernel there as it is the most stable for the system it is on. I will also test on LMDE Cindy.
While I am a fairly experienced Linux user, anyone who is comfortable with terminal commands and knows what lsusb is, why I don't explain it here, then should have no problems. Read the install directions first, before you buy, and decide. for yourself

Disappointed. Bought this for my upgrade to windows 10 but didn't work as i thought IT WOULD. It installed but connected at a very low connection.

Works with El Capitan
As of 09/06/2016, the Edimax N150 (Model #: EW-7811Un) is Mac compatible under OS 10.11 El Capitan. I had to call technical support to get it working though. If you're on 10.11, download the latest v1.0.1.4 Mac driver, released on 02/24/2016, at: [...]
Unzip the file. Install the driver. Restart your Mac. After restart, plug in the Edimax dongle. Make sure there's a flashing blue LED. You'll see a prompt for an install, I don't recall the name. Input Admin credentials, and in System Preferences > Security make sure to allow installs from all developers. In the menu bar, you should see an icon that looks like a USB flash drive. Once you click on that icon and choose a network and input the password, that will change to a green icon of 5 bars, similar in looks to what you'd see on an iPhone for reception.

Worked for a while, with poor range, and now is broken.
I purchased this card 3-4 months ago. I used it for my old HP laptop running Manjaro with Linux 4.19ish. It worked for at least 2 months in working order, but with notably poor range. In recent weeks, it has begun to fail in the following way: it would work for a while, then my connection would seem to drop out. I could then unplug it and plug it back in or disconnect and reconnect to the wifi and move on with only a slight annoyance.
Then, the day before yesterday, the plastic shell broke off and then it totally stopped working.
I cannot recall if the intermittent issue coincided with my reversion to 4.9 kernel a few weeks ago to solve an unrelated issue.
Even if the dongle still worked, I wouldn't recommend this, not would I purchase it again. I realize the lack of range is due to its small size, and can't be helped, but it's not adequate for my uses. I'll have to get a larger one and not leave it in the port when the computer is unattended.
However, if you only need a short range (20-25 feet), and you need a card that will work on Linux, this one certainly does the trick.

There is a God in heaven!
EDIT:
This lasted me for maybe a year, so it was nice to put off buying a new laptop for a year, but eventually it stopped being effective. I now have a Mac and boy am I glad to not deal with that nonsense anymore. :)
I have to admit, after months (let's be real, years) of dealing with my crappy HP Pavillion notebook, I finally bit the bullet and bought one of these bad boys. A little context, my HP was having such horrible problems with the Realtek driver, that I sent it in for repairs while the warranty was still valid. It worked for a little while after that on and off, but eventually began screwing up so badly that every fix in the book was not helping at all. I tried LITERALLY everything, with no luck. I was about to throw away my laptop and toss my savings at a Mac. Who knows, maybe even open a credit card--I was desperate. Internet? What internet? Never met her.
I became so desperate I took to my local community Facebook group and begged for helpful tips. After many non-helpful remarks, some saint recommended I try this USB Wi-fi adapter. I was skeptical. After all, considering the source (some middle aged man with no real IT background), I was not feeling very optimistic. But hey, it was $20, which is a lot less than a two grand Mac, so I gave it a shot. I followed the included instructions to the T, and it worked like a charm! I held back on leaving a review right away since I noticed some folks were experiencing issues after a month or two. But, I am here to say that after 4 months and counting, its still working fantastic, and I have functioning internet! Who knew, right? Needless to say, before you head to those cons over at Geek Squad, try this little fellow out. He may surprise you with his abilities!

Great Range & Throughput
I'm personally very weary about UB WIFI adapters. My parents had one of their personal PC at home and they would call me up to help them reconfigure it occasionally. The firmware was a nightmare, the support was lacking, and for some reason the little device ran insanely hot. Overall it left me with a bitter impression for USB WIFI adapters.
Fast forward to present day, I needed a USB WIFI adapter for my Raspberry Pi 2. I decided to pick up this model after doing some research and comparing reviews to other-like devices. I could not be more pleased with the results. The range is surprisingly good. The one my parents had could barely get two bars going through one floor - this little guy gets dang near 5 bars all over my 2 story house. To put in perspective: my router is in my attic on the 3rd floor, I can go to the basement and still have a strong enough signal to work. That is simply amazing.
Throughput is also another surprising factor. The one my parents had you could tell was struggling. Loading something as simple as Amazon would take a century. This device is lightning fast and allows as much throughput as your ISP/Router is designed to throw out.
Overall I am extremely pleased with this device. If you are looking for an adapter for your own PC or something for a Pi device like I did - buy this.

Works well....
Works, but as for me it doesn't pickup my 5G Ubee modem/router it only seems to see the 2G. That is fine for me and I'm not going to take off any stars for that... I didn't see it claiming 5G...
For some reason my Dell Latitude E6410's built in Intel(R)Centrino(R)Advanced-N 6200 ANG wlan chip wouldn't connect easily to my home network. It always took several attempts and even a reboot to get it to connect. I decided to give this Edimax a try and it works perfectly.
Connects to any network now on the first attempt. Not eight attempt + plus a reboot like before. :-(
I suspect since this is a very old laptop Intel didn't bother to update the drivers and since I bought this laptop from a certified refresher whom installed a licence copy of Windows10 Home for Refurb PC's --- the laptop is running an operating system it didn't originally ship with. So that driver probably didn't work well with either Windows 10 or the newer Ubee modem/routers... Either way this fixed the problem and was a cheap fix.
This Edimax is using REALtek chips and drivers... So it seems to work perfectly...

Ineffective range, low speed, 2.4Ghz only.
Network Engineer here.. Reviewing the Edimax EW-7811Un model!
This has very poor range, it's 4 bars sitting next to my $400 access point - seriously! If you do to the next room it drops down to 2 bars, then once beamforming kicks in back up to 3 bars. 40Mbps was tops next to router, 15-20Mbps was max in the next room. This thing is slow.
It's going back. The last dongle I had this size could easily do 150Mbps+ throughout the home. My primary goal for this is to replace a failed WiFi antenna on the internals of Lenovo and this does not do the trick at all.
Skip this. It's funny, I had a no-name brand OURLINK 600Mbps AC600 USB WiFi adapter for YEARS before this and it was perfect. It burned out after a bit (these DO get warm!) and I thought I would save some coin buying this one.. Nope.

Only 2.4Ghz, but works flawlessly!
My laptop's Wi-Fi adapter has stopped working, and even after replacing it with an exact same model the issue remained (probably the card slot has done its time). Therefore, I was looking for a nano size Wi-Fi adapter that won't pop-out from the laptop like a gigantic thumb-drive and found this one with many positive reviews. I decided to go for it almost immediataly, just forgot to check if it's 2.4Ghz only or dual-band that also supports 5Ghz.
When it arrived the installation what very straightforward with the included driver on a mini-cd, though it took me a minute to figuring out why it only sees my 2.4Ghz networks and not the 5Ghz. I then went here and saw that it's a 2.4Ghz only. But nevertheless, it's quite fast for most ordinary tasks, including RDP to my main computer on the same network which I'm doing quite often. The connection speed runs between 90-120Mbps.
Bottom line: it's small, it's simple to install and it works.

Great little Wi-Fi USB Adapter; 100% Raspberry-friendly
I have three primary reasons why I like to use this WiFi adaptor with my older Raspberry Pi boards which don’t have onboard WiFi, such as the Raspberry Pi 2 or Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 boards:
1) This WiFi adaptor is incredibly small, not much more than the connector, and hence doesn’t tend to get in the way at all once plugged in.
2) The Raspbian OS, and other OS’s I have used have the appropriate driver support built-in, so there’s no muss, no fuss in getting this adaptor to work with Raspbian.
3) But there’s also a more subtle benefit in that if you boot into the NOOBS loader, there too that limited system will recognize this adaptor, as it would for built-in WiFi on the Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless boards with their onboard WiFi support. This means that you can boot into NOOBS Lite which requires network connectivity to download a system, and work completely wirelessly without the need for an Ethernet connection as would otherwise be the case (on the Raspberry Pi 2 board).
Great adapter!

If you need low profile, this will do the job but it's slow
As others have said this adapter is much slower than other usb wireless N adapters and you have to be pretty close to your router. But, that is the price you pay for getting a low profile one with small antennas. I'm using this in a laptop with a flakey internal wifi card, but it cuts my speed in half and cuts it in a quarter in the other room. At least it doesn't cut in and out like the old built in wifi card. So, I'd rather have the slow speed than flakey network access.
I had problems with it not coming back online after closing the laptop lid. So, I had to go into the advanced power save features and tell Windows 10 to NOT shut the power down to the USB ports when sleeping. That seemed to take care of the issue.
It is very low profile which is nice, just know that that the tradeoff to low profile is lower speed and less range from your wireless router.

Works with every OS I have tried in 2020!
I have tested this wireless adapter on most popular operating systems. In 2020 drivers for this little adapter are built in to everything I have tried and is literally plug and play!
Windows 10 - WORKS!
Mac OSX Catalina - WORKS!
Ubuntu 16.04 - WORKS!
Ubuntu 18.04 - WORKS!
Centos 7 - WORKS!
Centos 8 - WORKS!
Raspbian - WORKS!
This adapter is so great! You aren't going to get gigabit speeds out of it but for most purposes this is perfectly adequate.
For the price and compatibility this adapter is one of the best electronic purchases I have made. I highly recommend it!
I hope you found this review helpful!

Fantastic customer support
I'd rate my computer skills as above average.
I purchased this to use my mobile hotspot with my desktop PC, after having some trouble with getting internet through it while it showed connected I decided to call the tech line here. I spoke with a very friendly gentleman(no wait time) and he worked with me on getting the correct IP address and subnet mask from my phone with doing a little google work. This is something that would've taken me hours to figure out no doubt and I would've probably just returned the item. We had to be on the phone at least 20minutes and when I think this product is only $8 that's very good support.
Product works great, I haven't tested it's range as it's on my desktop and my phone is typically only 10ft away but it works for what I wanted to do.

Great way to get wifi
This is the best usb wifi adapter I've used so far. It's plug and play if your computer is already connected to the internet, which might be the case if you have multiple computers and various adapters. But if not, the install cd it comes with installs all of the necessary drivers in less than a minute.
I first learned of this product when a friend was using it with a raspberry pi 2, and I was amazed at how small it was. I ordered one, and it was great. I've ordered many more now for other projects, and it's the only one I'll probably use until new wifi tech specs come out. Which is probably going to be a few years away, at least.
I've used it with various usb hub adapters with varying results, but that is an issue with the hub, not this product. 100% success with externally powered hubs, ~50% success with regular usb splitters.

How is this product an Amazon recommendation?!
I was using my phone's USB tethering abilities to temporarily use my houses's wifi connection after moving into a new place waiting for the Ethernet drop to get put in for a hardline connection. I bought this USB adapter to replace having to use my phone. It was terrible.
Normally, I would connect to Wifi on my phone, plug into computer, and select USB tethering on my phone, and I would get the WiFi through my USB connected phone. (note this is different than using a Mobile Hotspot, which must use the LTE connection to tether). It was awesome, I have Google Fiber and have a gigabit connection (1,000 MBps).
Using my phone I would get about 300-400 MBps. Which was great, but the cable for the phone is really very short. Anytime I got a text I would have to get up to go see it, because my phone didn't reach the computer and where I was sitting. So I bought this so I wouldn't have to use my phone for tethering. Plugging this in, connection would drop a lot, about every 30 seconds. When it was connected, speed was about 2-3 MBps, if that. I tried both the b/g network and the n network. It had terrible performance for both. Unusable, even if it could stay connected.
Do not let the positive reviews and the amazon recommendation fool you. This isn't worth the $9 I paid for it.
