Panda Ultra WiFi 150Mbps Wireless-N 2.4GHz USB Adapter - Compatible with b/g/n Networks

Ron Zinnato: When I installed Tails on my HP laptop, the built-in WiFi did not work. This is a known issue. One of the recommended adapters was this one, so I gave it a try. Worked like a charm. I can't review it for any other uses, but for this one in particular it worked great.

JD: When I started using xubuntu, I couldn't get wifi with my netgear adapters. My online search found Panda Adapters as the best for linux machines. These little devices seem to work when others won't.
They are just excellent products!!!

José Sosa: La puse en un kali live y la reconoció en un segundo, además soporta modo monitor (que sabemos lo útil que es) velocidad muy buena. Luego la probaré con un Tails, pero ya de entrada así con lo que llevo visto, vale muchísimo la pena en relación a su precio.

Reluctant Amazon Customer: at last! a working usb wifi adapter.

This unit plugged in to my test lenovo T450s. Compared to the integrated 7265 (Dual band wireless-AC 7265) it gave me 40% of the potential downstream speed (40.0 Mbps vs 100 Mbps) and 75% of the upstream potential (14.02 vs 18.67). Those numbers are the averages of two tests each, alternating devices, not moving the laptop.

So, quite happy to have something that works for other, not so well-endowed devices. Also pleased to report, that at least with this favourable location, this device returned almost identical results as the Panda PAU06 (with external antenna).

K. Perry: I have an 11 year old Windows XP laptop which I connect to the internet via a 10 year old NetGear WG511v2 card.

When I recently moved and Verizon Fios upgraded my wireless router to their latest and greatest router, all of a sudden my old laptop would not connect to my wireless network.

After some frustration, tech calls, and intense Google-ing, I discovered the reason was that my old WG511v2 card did not support WPA2 network encryption, and only supported the older, less secure, WEP encryption protocol's. I was left with two options... upgrade to a wireless card that can handle WPA2, or manually switch my new router to the older WEP protocol.

Sooo I tossed my old card in the trash and ordered this one which stated it works with WPA and WPA2 encryption.

When it came in the mail, I installed the drivers as per the instructions on the CD it came with. I plugged in this little guy, and BOOM! I was back online within minutes. I even got a friendly email the manufacturer (through amazon) saying to contact them if I have any questions. Since set up was so easy I didnt need to call, but it was nice they did that.

The only negative I have noticed thus...

jim wilson: I give this device 5 out of 5 stars, since it completely and fully works with all three of my OS's. I triple boot OSX 10.7.5, Windows 7 Home Premium and Debian Linux 6.0 (Squeeze).

The Linux driver on the install CD, as well as the one on the support website works flawlessly, although I did have to recode the config.mk to build properly. **SEE LINUX README BELOW FOR DETAILS AND HOW-TO*** Basically, add this to the config to allow for proper build on linux kernel. Tested on Crunchbang Linux (Statler, BPO and Testing), and Debian Linux (Squeeze/Wheezy/Sid) :
