LYNEC UC1 N150 150m Mini USB Wireless Network Adapter with External Antenna 802.11N for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Win 7/8/8.1, Mac,Linux v3.0.0.4

I can't believe it!! It gave my old desktop computer a life. I have an Windows desktop, not sure of its age, probably from ~2005. It could only connect to wired Internet. Of course, nowadays, wifi is the way to go! I was about to throw it out, I searched online if I can connect it to wifi and I found out it doesn't have a built in wifi-card.. I looked for solutions and I found usb wifi adopter to b one of the solutions to this problem. I bought this usb antenna; but I honestly just couldn't believe it would work.. Even now, I still can't believe it!! It came with a small cd, but my desktop was able to read and download its content. After installing the drivers from the cd and restarting the device, the wifi bar showed up!! Magic!! I connected the antenna usb and boom! It worked and I connected to my homes wifi. It works, I've been using it for ~10 days and so far, no problems.

I have windows 10 and an old XP notebook. Would not work on either one. Win 10, it is not compatable with the OS apparently. XP, not supported any more and did not work, so oh well. Will not send this back, not worth the trouble. So I found a work around. My bad.

When I got the package I thought it was going to be cheap, as in design. I did yes stereotype, we all do it. I plugged it into the computer and had some issues getting it working, but let me be clear, it was a driver issue in LINUX. LINUX is not an everyone user friendly OS. Once I played around and found a generic driver, it performed well and had reasonable sensativity. Previous power readings of nearby AP were about 46 with this its about 68.

Worked well and easy to set up, once I figured things out. I bought it for my desktop computer, which did not have a drive that would handle the mini-disk. I needed to load the disk info onto my laptop and then transfer the info to a memory stick and then onto my desktop. Great for the price also!

This works fine but has a bulky casing making it harder to use on some devices so keep that in mind.

Product purchased last December. Failed in July. Went on site to get a warranty replace. No place to go on their site. Therefore I would suggest not buying their products.

Seems to work fairly well. Using this adapter I have a better connection to local APs and can "see" networks further away than the adapter I was using previously.Note to RPi users, this adapter will work natively out-of-the box with Raspbian Jessie, since that has a modern kernel. If you're using lubuntu you'll have to compile and install the driver manually. Not a bid deal, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

"Not better than any usb wifi adapter without such long and obstructive antennas" This was my review on January 27, 2016 and I gave one star.This month LYNEC support team contacted me and offered to replace the product at no cost to me. That is an excellent customer service as I have not contacted them to return or complain about the product. The replacement product works very well. I am giving one additional star for this level of customer service.The product itself is worth 4 stars - it works slightly better than my reference product (KEEBOX) without any external antenna. But that gets hot during operation and this one remains cold. I recommend this product.
