This guy works great. I was having trouble finding a wireless adapter that would work with Linux (Ubuntu 12.04). This one worked out of the box.

I read other reviews and decided that this would be a great way to bring an older computer back online after its wireless adapter apparently quit working.  It came with a mini-CD which made it a breeze to get the right drivers - and was up and working in less than 5 minutes.  What a great solution - especially for the price!

I couldn't get the adapter to work on my Linux desktop at first, but support response was immediate and the tech worked me through the fix. It had nothing to do with the adapter. It was a matter of configuring my Linux properly since there was an adapter installed which was not working properly. I am using the Bluetooth for headphones and it seems to be working just fine. The main reason for this review is to say that the support is great, timely and knowledgeable. I couldn't be happier.

I had not heard of Edimax and was initially hesitant to buy this.  But then I googled the company and discovered they have offices around the world, so decided to try it.  This tiny wifi adapter works great!  Fast speed, doesn't drop connections.  And the most important is that it's so small you don't have to worry about something hitting it.  I originally bought a TP-Link adapter but it was over 3 inches long and it would on occasion drop the connection.  More importantly, the TP-Link had outdated firmware and despite numerous attempts with assistance from their tech support, it would not update to the latest software.  The Edimax updated to the latest firmware without any problem.  It's important to be able to update the firmware as fixes for security issues come out.  Note that this only supports USB 2.0 (yes, it can work in a USB 3.0 connection) but the speed is terrific.  It's cheap and is very reliable (have been using it for over a month now).  I read on Edimax's web site that they will have a version out soon that supports USB 3.0, but given that this USB 2.0 version gives me over 200 mbs on my Internet connection, that's sufficient for me.

This wireless adapter worked very well. Although it is not plug and play, the disc that came with it installed the drivers fairly quickly. The price is great for the quality. I needed a wireless adapter for my pc because i did not have wireless built in on my new pc and did not feel like getting a card. This gets better signal than the built in wireless on my HP desktop.

I bought this for my dad who has a desktop that does not have built in wireless. It works great. He is very happy with the product.

I wanted this wireless adapter to hook up some powered speakers I use to work out with so that I did not need a wire running to my spin bike.  It works perfect.  I am getting another one of these to use with my other set of powered speakers I am using in my living room.  The range has been quite adequate.  It works great.  I stream from my Android phone and iPad with no problems.

User interface isn't that great and support was hard to find. But it works great. I like it way better than the modem/gateway/wireless router combo I had.

My router is on the second floor, and this adapter is in the basement, in a finished basement which required a jumper box to be installed off of the main circuit breaker. The adapter works simply and well, as opposed the the wireless adapter which mostly worked, but sometimes did not, and varied wildly in speed. Highly recommended.

I had been wanting to go wireless for quite a while but was nervous about spending money on something I couldn't get to work.  I took the plunge and it works great!  The instructions were concise, short and accurate.  I got it to work on the first try!!  I can now use our laptop anywhere in the house.  I can also bring my laptop from work and hook right up.  I'm very happy being wireless and with teh Linksys WRT160N.

I am so glad I found this product. I could not get a decent wireless connection to my desktop computer in my den. I tried signal boosters, antennas, homepage powering, and nothing worked well or was reliable enough for my needs. Then I saw this product and purchased it. Installation was super easy. Plugged in side into the router and cable line and the other side in my den to the cable line and my desktop and now I have a consistent and reliable connection. I highly recommend this product of you have wireless dead spots.

It's my first time getting a wireless adapter like this. I bought two for all of my random devices that might need internet connections at some point, and the other is on the way. I like that the price was affordable, and that the drivers didn't take much time to install on a windows 7 system. I haven't set this one up on my raspberry pi yet, but it works like a charm on my Windows 7 desktop, much more reliable connection so far than my previous solution of turning an old wireless router into a network bridge. I will come back and edit after I try it on the raspberry pi.

I bought this little adapter not expecting a great deal from it. I mainly needed it for when I'm bored at work and "borrow" the near-by (About 1500ft) hotels wifi to entertain myself. My old adapter/booster would work fine until a semi-truck passed by and would block my connection. This was very annoying and after months of fidgeting with my old stuff I finally bought this mainly because it had an external antenna connection. I was going to ditch the included antenna and run a yagi, but after setting this adapter up it already had 25% better signal than my old 1w booster! I was throughly pleased to say the least! I do recommend that you use an usb extension cable because the adapter with the included antenna is a tad heavy. It also helped because I could move the adapter around until I could find signal "sweet spot" in my office. Now I can work on my special "projects" without interruption.

Edit: I bought another one just a few weeks ago for a friend and it works as well as the first one. I do however suggest that you save the included driver disk. Windows cannot find the drivers automatically. It is possible to find them online from realtek but if you don't have internet on the computer you need the adapter for it is a bit of a problem! :)

I bought this because I wanted a wireless adapter that was recognized by Linux. This fits the bill.

I had some trouble at first, but their support was very helpful, and I figured out the problem was not the adapter but a switch on my PC. Ubuntu Linux recognized it as soon as I plugged it in.

I am pleased with both the adapter and the promptness and quality of their support.

This adapter has worked wonderfully for me. I was originally hesitant that it would function as I needed to but it has blown me away. My university is known for its spotty wifi and this little guy has kept me competitive in many online games. The driver is easy to install and takes very minimal space. I use this for my ultrabook, my hp stream, and a windows tablet. I am fairly certain you could also download this program for a smart phone and with the right adapters sync it up that way but my 4G hardly ever drops off. If you have a laptop with no ethernet port (or a broken one) this is a great way to still get lightening fast internet.

This little guy plugs in easily and the setup for use on my network went smoothly. Since my wireless router is two floors down, placement for best signal strength was a sensitive issue and small placement adjustments yielded large differences in received signal strength. Once established the adapter has worked flawlessly. Encrpytion with WEP or WPA is easily established. Wish I'd done this a long time ago!
