Can't complain about this product. Perfectly work with any Linux distributions. If you are looking for a product which support pecket injection, monitor mode, wifi hacking, go for it 🙂🙂.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent piece of hardware.
*by A***H on 5 December 2023*

I have this device with me from 11 months now and, to be honest it is reliable and really good. But due to its incapability of adding virtual interface, it becomes useless in certain situations and would need additional hardware. Other than that it pretty good at what it does. It uses RTL8812AU driver, which in future might not support Monitor Mode. Do your own research and if your work needs, this mode I suggest to go with Meditek drivers.
