Windows 11 Pro.Works most of the time and when it does is very fast. Every couple of days I need to physically disconnect and reconnect.Bluetooth does not work.Drivers are hard to get and they are not Signed making it an untrusted device.

The Wi-Fi part works, but the Bluetooth is defective. I tried three different machines and installed their driver from their website, and each time, it failed to start the device. It is a p.o. c., so I would move on to a higher-end adapter. It seems Alfa is sliding down in quality these days.

Tested this wifi adapter card and can confirm that it works on Kali Raspberry Pi 4/5/Zerow2 out of the box.No need to install flaky drivers as there is Linux in-kernel drivers.

UPDATE 08/02/24I am increasing my rating from 1 start to 2 - Simply because I got it working.The trick is.. The docs tell you to copy three .bin files into your /lib/firmware/mediatek folder.In my case, the BT_ file was causing the adapter to NOT WORK and you would NOT see it under LSUSB.Removing the BT*MT7621*.bin file worked for me.We will see how it performs for our needs.----Purchased this device because it was recommended by others as an outstanding unit for passive monitoring using linux.After 6 hours of my life wasted... This thing isn't recognized by Ubuntu as a wireless device (even after upgrade to most recent LTS)You can see it as a USB device - But not as a wireless device in any shape or form. And even when it is registered - It's hit or miss with error messages coming from dmesg.If you are using Ubuntu 22.04 - Forget about it... All the forums say you must upgrade your kernel to use this wifi chipset.The manufacture provides drivers from their repo that were just updated this past week - That doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy regarding reliability.Then... If you read the docs further - They are talking about manually compiling the kernel to get this thing to work. SERIOUSLY!---So... I installed the software we use on Windows and thought for sure that I would be able to utilize passive/monitor mode on windows. Installed the drivers, ran through the driver settings... NO MONITOR MODE seen in the settings.----I emailed support to see what their response is... In 20+ year of IT development - I have never seen something so difficult to setup on a linux OS in my life.I would have given it LESS than 1 star if I could.

I have nothing bad to say about this product. It was plug and play on my raspberry pi 5 and instantly had the fastest wifi in the house and i have 2 kids on summer break during a heatwave sucking all the wifi they see up. Excellent buy! I would buy it again and recommend it to everyone

Ik heb deze nog maar even kunnen testen maar het stelt me helaas toch een klein beetje teleur tot op heden alvast. Vrij omslachtige instelling, nochtans prachtig en handig ontwerp om in the field te gebruiken, dit ga ik dan ook volgende week testen. Hopelijk doet het wat het moet doen. Beetje twijfelachtig momenteel qua verbinding ook. Ik vind het echt jammer want het zou héél makkelijk zijn zeker voor mensen die veel fieldwerk moeten doen.

I just purchased this adapter to take advantage of the capabilities associated with the 802.11ax standard, and despite the official stance that it should be "plug and play" on Ubuntu, I did run into an issue with getting it to work. The fix is pretty easy though. My system is running Ubuntu 22.04 with the latest kernel, but in order to get the driver to load properly I had to disable bluetooth by blacklisting it in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file. For good measure I also removed the two BT firmware files (BT_RAM_CODE*) in /lib/firmware/mediatek/. Once I did that it started working.

Das WiFi 6E 6 GHz Bandgerät setzt neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Internetgeschwindigkeit und -leistung. Dank des speziellen Mediatek-Chipsatzes, der ursprünglich für videointensive Streaming-Fernseher entwickelt wurde, und der Beamforming-Technologie, die 6-GHz-Kanäle nutzt, ist WiFi noch nie so schnell und effizient gewesen.Die AXE3000 WLAN-Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 3 Gbps ist beeindruckend und bietet eine um 2,5-mal schnellere Verbindung als WiFi 5. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Abwärtskompatibilität mit älteren WiFi-Standards (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), was eine nahtlose Integration in bestehende Netzwerke ermöglicht.Die im Lieferumfang enthaltenen 5 dBi-Verstärkungsantennen sorgen für einen leistungsstarken Empfang, und es besteht die Möglichkeit, auf kompatible Richtungs- oder höhere Verstärkungsantennen aufzurüsten. Dadurch gibt es keine Grenzen in Bezug auf die Empfangsqualität.Das USB 3.0-Kabel mit USB-C- und USB-A-Anschlüssen macht das Gerät vielseitig einsetzbar für alle modernen Laptops und Desktop-Computer. Die Kompatibilität mit jedem Router oder Mesh-WLAN-System, insbesondere mit WiFi 6E-Routern, stellt sicher, dass man das volle Potenzial des 6 GHz Bands ausschöpfen kann.Besonders praktisch ist, dass das Gerät als Client oder Empfänger agiert und sich einfach mit einem Computer oder Laptop verbinden lässt. Ein WLAN-Router ist es nicht, und es ist auch nicht kompatibel mit Handys oder Fernsehern, aber für die geforderte Leistung bei Laptops und Desktops ist es ideal. Die Unterstützung für Microsoft Windows 10 und 11 (32/64-Bit) rundet das Gesamtpaket ab.Insgesamt bietet das WiFi 6E 6 GHz Bandgerät eine beeindruckende Verbesserung der Internetgeschwindigkeit und ist eine lohnenswerte Investition für alle, die schnelles und zuverlässiges Internet wünschen.

MT7922 chip has in kernel drivers in recent kernels. Worked in x86_64 arch Linux and a RaspiOS bullseye install on an Rpi3. Tested via hostapd to make an access point, and everything was just plug play, charge the config text file and bam DIY access point. For bonus stability, disable Bluetooth if you don't need it.Power is decent, made it about 25m through 3 walls from the house to the garage on 2.4ghz, about as good as my old R7000 router could do.Alfa stuff is not the cheapest out there, but it is well made.

I use this in combination with a GL.iNet GL-MT3000 travel router to rebroadcast a local wifi signal on my own SSID - this allows me to avoid having to log every device into the network, solves the incompatibility of Chromecasts with hotel captive portal setups, and have all of the connected clients tunnel through a VPN even if they don't directly connect to the VPN themselves. This plugs into the router's USB port, and connects to the local site AP, while all clients connect to the MT3000.This device is supported well in OpenWRT's master branch (and maybe the 23.x releases?)The only minor issue, and it's kind of a known quantity for Alfa's high-power long-range units, is that it's a power hog and will not work reliably with the MT3000 using that router's stock power supply which is undersized - you need to inject extra power into the system to have it be stable. But that's more of an issue with the MT3000 than this product.
