Can someone confirm this is really Ralink RT5370 I can't have realtek for what I want to do. And sometimes they get switched.

You can't count on that. I ordered three of these from three sellers as a test, two turned out to be the same seller, same return ID and shipper and item, but one was different and the unit I received though it looked the same, same case and sticker, had a different gold connector and a different PID. So it did not work on the linux environment I needed it to. All sold on the same Amazon page! This is not right and Amazon has too low a standards of integrity for me. As do the Chinese sellers who sell "about the same" items on the same Amazon page. That's not right!

This is what comes up for lsusb in Linux: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.

I have no idea , I bought the beast just because it was the first one to come for the best price. Did you compare the stats on them besides MHz? Mine work fine, and have had no problems with them. Just remember to have a 64 bit OS or you will not be able to to get the full speed out of them

It uses a Realtek chipset. I don't remember which specific one because I'm at work and it's at home, but it is a Realtek.

So far it isn't looking good. The wifi is not removable and the eSata is not, as Kaerlo Michael Dulay said, PM ready. I am now also researching external port multiplier solutions - eSata, to external multiplier to external enclosure. Kind of a kludge though. I will post back when (if) I get anything new.

Hi Marc, maybe it is just the item model # but it is the same one I have that is the RNX-N300RT and paired it with the Rosewill Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 2T2R / 2x 5 dBi External Antenna (RNX-N250UBE) and they work great. This allows my wireless to be much faster since the router is about 12 feet away behind a wall. My IT guy recommended it and it is much faster than my Verizon FIOS 50/25.

there was a mistake. I remember asus uploaded a firmware that wasnt for the R1 but instead for the AIR version. google is your friend and it will help you find it, many people upgraded it and got the wireless option, the very same that youre asking for; the problem is that some people got bricks or problems for using that firmware. also you should try and see if other wlan sticks function

I have the 4300 and I have had no problems with it. Ever. I bought it when it first came out and it works great. I am looking to upgrade but only because I want more than 4 ports or the ability to use the new wifi technology. Works very will with my Wii via wifi, and my network drive and pcs have no problems either. And then I noticed the post I just responded to was almost 2 years old. :)

I don't recommend to buy anything from Linksys (it is not stable at all even you do upgrade firmware, wifi connection is terrible as well). You definitely should reconsider and check something from D-Link (for example D-Link DIR-655).

I used Ralink RT2870 wireless lan card. it came with my bear extender PC wireless USB adapter but you can download them, just google it. Theres also a site that sells the high power signal king with english directions that you can download free drivers from them. Just google what signal king you have'

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

best thing to do is go to msi web site and if not there ask on the board. if it is not listed on kingston or msi site then it is not fully supported.

In my experience, the driver for this adapter is flaky. This adapter has a broadcom chip and broadcom does not seem to be addressing issues. It took them a long time to get a non beta driver out for Windows 8.1, which still seems to have issues in my experience. I am currently using a Asus adapter that has a ralink chip and it just works. It is n only though.

You can get the appropriate driver for this chip set from RaLink Tech website:www.ralinktech.com. Go to Support, then MacIntosh, and select USB (RT257x/RT2671).

While I was typing this reply, I switched over to the other NIC port. I couldn't tell which one was intel and which one was atheros. They both worked just fine.

Honestly to tell you, this RT-N65U is not very good product. It's not better than the 56U rather than the Gigabit, USB3 support. I haven't tried the USB hub, but I don't think it's ever worked. My suggestion to you is to save your money to buy different brand...Asus is never a networking company. I will never buy a wireless from Asus again!

I just checked the support forums at Dell.com and the answer is yes - http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-internet-wireless/f/3324/t/18975324.aspx

I have used them with many different gateways with different processors and never had a problem. Sometimes u have to go to magtek site and change modes, but they are still fine. I would think that it would work fine.
