Works "out of the box". Good performance and low power requirement.

On Raspberry PI...just plug it in and it works! Fine on Raspbian, Raspbmc, OpenElec without the need to install anything. Also very low power requirement (110mA), so ideal if you are using with other USB devices. I believe the max speed of this adapter is 150Mbps.I have mine uploading images from two webcams to the web simultaneously, and also functioning as an Airplay receiver.However, if range and speed are particularly important to you I would look instead for a 300Mpps WiFi dongle with a built in antenna (note that these would require more power so you'll need a bigger power supply or USB hub though).

Works fine but be prepared to do some tweaking

After doing the wifi setup tweaks to the Raspberry Pi all connected fine to my home "n" network. Only thing you will find is that if the router is rebooted it will not automatically reaqcuire a connection. If you're using this for remote access to your RPi this can be a tad annoying. However there is software solution - you can just do a bit more scripting that checks whether the connection is present and if it's not, forces the connection to recycle. Works fine and happy with connectivity range given how small the device is.

Fantastic little device!

I gave up on USB wifi devices a long time ago due to some really disappointing products, but this device is great. I bought this for my Raspberry Pi running RaspBMC. It works great, straight out of the box and has a really low profile - it is incredibly small. The distance between this and the router is around five meters and it has full signal strength.

tiny usb wifi adaptor

Nice (tiny) wifi adaptor (usb). I will be using this for a rsberry pi based gaming console. Seems to wrk fine, its n rated, so not the latets ac speeds, but its plenty fast enough.

I feel pretty stupid buying this

Hi all, I feel pretty stupid buying this. I advised my dad, not the most technically savvy of users to get rid of his ancient XP laptop and buy an RPi.I said this was going to be a simple like for like replacement for the functionality he required, namely, using amazon and ebay periodically.Nothing too special and perfectly withing the RPi's capabilities.The wireless dongle I purchased for him worked, then didn't, worked again, now just flat out refused to work.I now have it sat behind my TV because its now useless to him. I shall continue in my search for a wireless adapter for the RPi and so I can save face and show my dad a working RPi.Take note when deciding whether to purchase this as you may or not get a working piece of hardware.

Good Quality

Nice little device, I tried getting it to run with RaspBMC but it wouldn't recognise it properly so I switch to another USB Wifi Adapter I already had in another PC. It does however work fine with Rasbian. The signal quality and range are good.

Well, it did work, even if it was for a few days

Yes, it worked with my Pi B+ straight out of the packet. On the internet etc for a few hours. Got home a few days later and decided to go online. For some reason the Pi refused to boot. On investigation, I noticed this WiFi adapter very very hot and removed it. Straight away the Pi was back up and running. Tried using it on a few more devices, all of which recognised the Adapter for what it is but the WiFi part just doesn't work any more. I really can't be bothered with the hassle to send it back (it would probably cost me more in time / fuel than I paid for it) and have written the money off. I've decided to get a slightly larger WiFi adapter elsewhere but even then will put it on a cable away from my Pi (one lesson learned). Fortunately, it seems unaffected by the heat that had built up.

Works Great on Rasberry Pi Xbian

I was a bit sceptical buying this after looking at some of the reviews, however the adapter works perfect. I am using it with a Raspberry Pi running Xbian, simply turned off the Pi, plugged the adapter in and started it up again. Went into the Settings for Xbian, chose Wlan0 – set it to DHCP entered the wireless key and it works perfect. I can now use the Pi on any telly in the house.The only downside i can think of is that the flashing LED is like a disco light in the dark, so i had to turn it off to sleep ;)
