Panda WirelessPAU0A AC600 Dual Band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wireless AC USB Adapter - Win 7/8/10/11, Zorin, Mint, Ubuntu, MX Linux, Manjaro, Fedora, Rocky, Kali Linux and Raspbian

Plugged it in, rebooted, logged on to the router, bingo. Works great in mint and windows. You don’t have to buy an Ethernet cable to do any command line stuff at all. Good experience

If you need a WiFi adapter for Zorin or Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 Linux platforms or if your built in WiFi adapter crapped out on any of these platforms, then this little gadget is all you need. Plug it in and your server's WiFi connectivity will instantly come back to life. Don't know why it was so hard to discover a device that actually works out of the box, but now we're glad to share the answer with all of you.

On Linux Mint, it connects to WIFI but does not transmit data. It does not connect directly to the router either (with cable). I use a CHUWI laptop whose chipset does not connect to WIFI with Linux but works with Windows.

When I received the package I inserted the CD which came with the dongle, and nothing. I clicked on a bunch of launch and .exe files within my file manager and nothing happened. I then turned to the printed install instructions which were dated 2017 and I was terribly confused and uncertain what to do. I then scoured the user manual and discovered that it told me, as an Ubuntu User, to consult my Linux manual. I then read other reviews and how others with more Linux knowledge than me used their terminals to enter commands to download and install the correct drivers and get the dongle to talk to Linux. I tried entering a few commands but got nowhere. I then watched a couple dated youtube videos and was just as lost. Finally, I emailed the company directly and told them I use the latest version of Ubuntu, at the time: 22.04.4 LTS, and gave them a description of my 7 year old computer's configuration including processor, RAM, and memory, and within a very short span of time I received a reply that read,"The Panda PAU0A adapter works out of the box on Ubuntu 22.04 and you don't need to install any driver for it.Just insert Panda into a good USB port on your computer, click the wireless icon in the task bar, select your network and enter your network password to connect Panda to your network."I did exactly that and voila, it worked like a charm. I wrote Panda back and urged them to include a cheap 2024 insert in their packaging which states exactly that for Ubuntu and other machines with the latest versions installed which truly allow for plug-n-play without having to resort to the Terminal and a bunch of command lines in esoteric Linux language.The speed and range are good to very good, and for the price, it's a great value.
