Review: Perfect for a Raspberry PI 3 with Ubuntu 22.04 - Short story, on a Raspberry Pi 3 B (1.2) I used a TP-Link Wifi USB adapter that was limited to a 2.4Ghz band and the connection was not consistent. I decided to give a shot to this D-Link adapter and I'm glad I did it! Pros: - small form factor - compatible Windows and Linux (I didn't try on a Mac) - good connection/speed - can be used with Kali Cons: - a bit too expensive compare to no-name items (but it works well) Some tech details for people who want to buy this Wifi adapter for a Raspberry Pi on Ubuntu: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS uses a 5.15 kernel (a the time I'm writing this) that does not include an hardware support for this Wifi adapter. You'll have to compile the driver manually. - Ubuntu 22.10 uses a 5.19 kernel that supports this Wifi adapter. Just plug it. - Ubuntu 22.10.2 LTS will be released soon with the 5.19 kernel and will support this Wifi adapter.
Review: Plug and play with Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS - My 6 years old Dell XPS 13 7390 developed a wifi rot(tm). It would drop the connection every few minutes. Unfortunately, the built-in wifi card is not replaceable because Dell decided that it should not be user replaceable part and for such and old laptop I didn't want to get it serviced which will require a motherboard replacement. I decided to try a plugin wireless adapter but I was worried about Linux compatibility. I was very happy to find that the DWA-181-US is fully supported on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS distribution. All I had to do was plug it into the laptop (via a USB-C to USB-A adapter) and it came up immediately. All I had to do was turn off the built-in wifi and turn on the D-Link adapter, select my network and I was up and running in less than 2 minutes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D-Link USB WiFi Adapter Dual Band AC1300 Wireless Internet
*by A***A on December 10, 2023*

Hello, this is a very simple item to install, it's plug and play. As soon as you connect it you will have to wait at least 2 minutes for the Windows to recognize it, once that happens you will receive all the wifi available. Strong signal once you introduce your wifi password. I highly recommend this item.
