I bought this adapter instead of a standard adapter because we have a very large old house with 12" walls, and I have trouble with wireless range on most usb adapters. I have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the adapter, but I have actually been amazed with the performance of the Panda support team. I have been in touch with them several times because I initially had trouble with my 5GHz band performance. They reply at once, and the information they request is cogent and the solutions that they offer are sensible and they work. The adapter is plug and play for Linux. You do need to install the proper firmware for your distribution, but that is true of any adapter that you purchase. The installation disk only has Fedora files, so you will have to find the firmware necessary for your distribution. For Debian Jessie, for instance, it is firmware-ralink, and for Debian Stretch it is firmware-misc-nonfree. In any event, after you install the proper firmware, the adapter is plug and play. It is also worth mentioning here that if you run PCLinuxOS, the firmware will already be in place and the adapter is truly plug and play. Just configure your internet connection and away you go. Performance. Ironically, the reason that I initially contacted Panda support is because I was having trouble with stability on the 5GHz channel. I had no such problems with the adapters that I was using, so I was confused that this one would be less effective. It turns out that the extended range of the adapter also meant that interference from a neighbor's connection caused the occasional signal drop. Alex from Panda's support team picked up the problem immediately, and I have had no trouble since. I can absolutely recommend this adapter for Linux installations. RLF Review: Review Edited; Works Flawlessly! - EDIT: New card was received by desertcart within 2 days but I just now remembered to update. Everything was there and everything is now working as intended. Monitor mode and packet injection work perfectly on Kali. Everything is plug and play unlike the Alfa ACH model I picked up at the same time. My Alfa ACH gets a bit better range but that's a monstrosity of a device when you are required to use the included ~3ft long cable. The Panda is perfect for my mobile devices - I love the small form factor and the fact I can plug it directly to the machine. Panda does include an optional usb extension base. I also have to say that the Alfa ACH is NOT plug and play in Kali like this Panda is! Just plug in and go! The range is about 2 city blocks here - picks up 10-12 networks as opposed to Alfa ACH 14-17 networks. Altogether its a great buy as there isn't another device of this capability in this form factor. Original Comment: Product showed up without the actual Wifi dongle in the box - everything else was there including the antennas, extension base, CD's and instructions. Box seemed to have been opened after factory packaging at some time. Now the wait is almost 2 weeks out - definitely not impressed with PantherOne ## Features - Works with any 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n networks. Max. wireless connection speed: 300Mbps. Supports both infrastructure and ad-hoc modes.

IE: Monitor Mode, Packet Injection, AP mode, etc.** A: I found that monitor and AP mode both work on 32-bit (686), rolling 2, 2016.1 version of kali, running on 4.4.0-kali1 kernel, and using debian version 4.4.4-2. For me, monitor and AP mode worked on both ports, 2.0 and 3.0. I also tested modes on different kali and kernel versions, and got mixed results - for the most part I could not get AP mode to work. I hope this helps. **Q: Is this plug n play with Arch Linux ?** A: I was unable to get this to work on arch with both usb2 and usb3 ports. Its looks like those drivers were rolled into the main linux repo. Ironically the usb extender it came with seems to have fixed the power regulation issues my other usb wifi device was having so this product ended up solving my problem, just not in the way I thought it would :D **Q: Is this the best wifi adapter that Panda offers and will it work out of the box with Linux Mint 18.1?** A: I would say yes. As it works out of the box on my Mint 17.3. I did use Mint 18 for a short enough time to run the updates with the Panda Adapter, but went back to 17.3 In my case I have an issue where I have to disconnect (unplug) my WiFi, this one included, when I LOG OFF. I have no issues with it ever reconnecting, and I recommend getting this one. I have been happy with it. Never had an issue. Edit: After reading the other responses, I use this adapter on my Linux box as my everyday WiFi connection. **Q: Does this product work on Kali 2017.2 for the raspberry pi 3?** A: It definitely works on Kali 2017.2 for AMD-64, but I’m not sure about pi. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Device for Linux *by R***F on March 22, 2017* For Linux users.

WAY TO GO PANDA!!! *by A***S on January 11, 2018* Excellent range, and the fact that it worked with my Linux (Mint) box without extra drivers -- awesome. It also works with my Linux OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Honestly, it probably works with all Linuxii and all Mac and Windows. It's just basically plug-and-play: Ideal. I must admit I get a glance here or there when at coffee shops (looks a little geeky), but once or twice I've heard comments as people nearby talk, and they've actually been complimentary. I think people are envious! I mean, who hasn't had wifi problems? Also, I love that it is dual-band: Sometimes my local coffee shop gets a bit of traffic congestion on the normal 2.4GHz (b/g/b) band when there are too many people in the shop.. But the 5GHz band is always open, and probably only myself and at max 2 or 3 others using it. Mua hahahah!!! ;-) This thing has also been a lifesaver, since the built-in wifi radio on my HP laptop (a RealTek Semiconductor RTL8723DE) does not (yet) have reliably Linux kernel driver support. I just pack this in my laptop bag. And, though not necessary, I do use the extension USB wire (instead of plugging directly into laptop), since it looks less geeky, and I can kind of slide it off to the side. Yes, I have seen that similar-looking models are available for maybe $10-15 less on Amazon. But I went with the little extra money because this manufacturer is obviously a cut above and takes extra care in a few ways: A) They actually make a box with their name on it B) They go out of their way to advertise that it works with Linux and without need for extra drivers (quite rare, as we know), C) the comments indicate they are reachable for tech support (not just a one-way production line that doesn't want to hear from you).
