I did research installation prior to doing anything, and I find a few posts on the Raspberry Pi forums about some issues people had, and an alternative installer script I could use. However, I simply followed the instructions that came with the device, downloaded the installer script and that ran perfectly! I did add "dtoverlay=disable-wifi" to my /boot/config.txt file in order to disable the internal Raspberry Pi Wifi, although it should be possible to use both simultaneously. I have since re-imaged the same Pi with Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye Lite (32 bit) and again the installation was perfect. In this case I had already manually downloaded the .deb file and was able to use dpkg to install the package. It dealt with dependencies (e.g. kernel headers) automatically, and the .deb only contains source code (so it's architecture neutral... which is useful given that the Pi is ARM based) and is automatically compiled. I think installation took (very approximately) 10 minutes on my Pi 4, but mileage may vary! Also of note; the .deb installation adds an entry in apt sources so it should update itself should a newer driver appear. I've had this setup running 24x7 for about 3 days now and it's been great! I am a good distance from the router I've connected it to, so I'm not sure I actually get faster through-put, but it is certainly a very stable connection. Also, previous wifi dongles I've used have gone into a low-power mode after a period of inactivity which I've had to work-around... thus far, I've not experienced this with the BrosTrend device. Overall - I'm really happy with this!! :D Review: Perfect WiFi for Linux - Excellent, had trouble getting signal with standard wifi adaptor on linux, but after following instructions & installing this on linux mint it works a treat in what was a very poor/almost non existant signal area & gives a reliable stable connection. ## Features - MULTI-OS SUPPORTED: Compatible with all distributions that have Linux kernel 6.2 or newer (after February 2023), such as Ubuntu 24.10~16.04 (all flavors: Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, GNOME, Budgie, Cinnamon, Kylin, MATE, Studio, Unity), Raspberry Pi OS 12~8, Debian 13~8, Linux Mint 22~18, Kali, Bodhi Linux, elementary OS, Feren OS, Freespire, KDE neon, Linux Lite, LinuxFX, LXLE, Netrunner, Nitrux, Peppermint OS, Trisquel, Voyager, Zorin OS; Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 - SUPPORTED ARCHITECTURES: x86_64/x86_32 (PCs, VirtualBox..), aarch64/armhf (Raspberry Pi 2+, Odroid...) - FAST WI-FI SPEED: You can get 867Mbps Wi-Fi speed on 5GHz band or 300Mbps speed on 2.4GHz band, best choice for online 4K video streaming, gaming, high quality music and Youtube by using this AC1200 dual band Ubuntu USB wireless adapter for PC; it can work 4 times faster than 802.11b/g/n USB wireless adapter - BOOST YOUR WIRELESS RANGE: Comes with 2 pieces of long range WiFi antennas of 5dBi, this Linux Ubuntu WiFi USB adapter ensures range extended WiFi connection and superior stability on your desktop, laptop, PC; WiFi antennas can be rotated and adjusted 360 degrees - ADVANCED WPA3 SECURITY: Secure your devices and network privacy by supporting the latest wireless encryption: WPA3-SAE, WPA2/WPA/WEP, AES/PSK/TKIP, 802.1x - MULTIPLE WORKING MODES: This Linux compatible usb wifi adapter supports these mode: IBSS, Managed, AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO.

I bought a Brostrend wifi6 adapter which said it is linux compatible and it did eventually work, but i had to download drivers and go through hassle. This one is TRULY linux compatible!, every distro i tried it with found it and made it jump into life. Raspberry Pi also got it straight away ... and LibreELEC ... No messing about, works out of the box. ALSO ... REALLY good range (impressive actually) I'd buy this again without thinking. ## Frequently Bought Together - BrosTrend Linux WiFi Adapter for Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Mate, Zorin, PureOS, Raspberry Pi 2+, Windows 11, etc. 1200Mbps, 5GHz + 2.4GHz, Long Range 2X5dBi Antennas, USB3.0 - BrosTrend Linux USB WiFi Adapter 1200Mbps for Ubuntu Mint Debian Kubuntu Mate Zorin PureOS Raspberry Pi 2+ Windows etc. Linux Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter Wireless Dual Band 5GHz 867Mbps + 2.4GHz 300Mbps - BrosTrend 650Mbps Linux Compatible WiFi Adapter Supports Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Kubuntu, Zorin, PureOS, Raspberry Pi 2+, Windows, Dual Band USB Wireless Adapter w/ Long Range WiFi Antenna --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/80091936-brostrend-ac1200-linux-wifi-adapter-long-range-with-5dbi-external](https://www.desertcart.no/products/80091936-brostrend-ac1200-linux-wifi-adapter-long-range-with-5dbi-external) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
