It's been a long time since I've shared these previously popular USB wireless adapters. They've got me out of many sticky situations before where dodgy TP-Link adapters couldn't get speeds any faster than 10Mbps and more recently a switch failure resulting in a few computers needing WiFi temporarily until it could be replaced.

This 2.4GHz USB adapter uses the MT7601 chipset, has a 2dBi inbuilt antenna and supports Android TV boxes. Limited to 2pcs per customer.

    Thanks Clear, will get another one for my old man. Hopefully it comes fast.

      Sadly it will only come at wireless-n speeds.

      Welcome to 2002, where this is considered a 'popular USB wireless adaptor'.

      • G-rig on 07/01/2022 - 09:07

        Yeah no 5g wireless

        Ps nothing wrong with the speeds on my TP-Link AC600 Dual Band Wireless Nano USB Adapter, $26 vs $3 I guess.

    I don't think I need any help in this department.

      So you’re saying you already have impressive bandwidth

      • McFly on 07/01/2022 - 01:12

      At these prices it’s a USB port protector

      You're already on the internet, so put that mouse away now.

  • 42 on 06/01/2022 - 22:37

    With a lot of interference with 2.4ghz I would personally get one with 5ghz

    • Clear on 06/01/2022 - 22:42

      Not recommended to be used next to a microwave.

    • chew_chew on 06/01/2022 - 23:05

      Any recommendation for a 5ghz adaptor?

      • G-rig on 07/01/2022 - 09:07

        See my post above

      • 42 on 07/01/2022 - 09:31

        I just got a generic dual band dongle from eBay (was ~$8 from Oz seller) and worked flawlessly. I did have the one in this post and it worked fine generally but the wifi was flaky for connecting my TV to the network even though I don't have that many neighbouring access points on the same channel. I'd be cautious if you live in an apartment and definitely get 5ghz. When I lived in an apartment, the WiFi speed was up and down and lots of drop outs with 2.4ghz as neighbours wifi on same or adjacent channel

      • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2022 - 09:47

        These (CF-811AC) are alright if you really need 5GHz, just keep in mind that it's USB2.0 so you'll be limited by 300Mb/sec of USB port bandwidth

        https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32999133595.html

        Avoid noname generic stuff, they're prone to overheating and stopping working in about a year or so.

        • G-rig on 07/01/2022 - 11:03

          Is comfast a 'name' brand
          Agree though, waste of money getting the absolute cheapest ones

  • mike0mike0 on 06/01/2022 - 23:16

    hmmm…. the name of the product sounds really interesting…

      The name is not important. You stick it in, and it comes to life. As the OP has said

      They've got me out of many sticky situations

    Last time I ordered one of these I got an iphone cover.

      Wow nice bonus.

      Then don't order this now, order an iPhone cover.

        Order a screen protector and you may get an iPhone instead.

  • McOzbargainer on 07/01/2022 - 06:15

    How fast are these actually? I've always seen terms like 150, 300 and 600 thrown around but never got any of those to a local device.

    • Nukkels on 07/01/2022 - 07:23

      Well, it's slower then the NBN - and that's saying something.

    • Kikkoman56 on 07/01/2022 - 09:31

      I don't have this exact device but I got probably something very similar… It's kinda bad for what it is. I've been using tethered phones instead of a wifi dongle most of the time and they easily get 3-4 bars through a single wall. In comparison I struggle to get it above 60% signal strength on these doodads.

      Netsh is saying I'm getting anywhere from 60-90 Mbps connection through a single stud wall and only 0.5m away. I'll have to give popping the cover off though. There's a YouTube video of someone claiming taking the metal and plastic shielding helped his a lot.

    • 42 on 07/01/2022 - 10:59
      +2

      It's a bit deceptive, 600mbps is 150mbps for 2.4ghz + 433mbps for 5ghz (which actually equals 583). Real world is no where near those speeds

    • snep on 08/01/2022 - 16:06

      Keep in mind that those marketing numbers are in Megabits/s (Mbps) not megabytes/s (MBps). A byte is 8 bits, so 150 Mbps is 18.75 MBps, or about USB 2.0 speed.

      And of course in the real world you'll likely get less than the advertised max.

  • jcft on 07/01/2022 - 07:11

    limit has changed to…… 1 per customer

  • Groovyuvi on 07/01/2022 - 07:20

    Thanks clear, grabbed one, the old one had started dropping out occasionally.

  • LookHere on 07/01/2022 - 09:00

    Thanks. Mine check out at $2.59.

  • Hugh G Rection on 07/01/2022 - 10:30

    5g would be better, but cost a lot more.
    if anything it will protect your usb port, lol

      $10.77 delivered for the 5G one. Doesn't quite break the bank but it is 3 times more expensive

        I bought one last year and it's good enough, what was surprising is that it was delivered in less than a week.

  • carlpepe on 07/01/2022 - 11:25

    Do these work with Raspberry Pi? If anyone has tried them

    • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2022 - 11:32

      Depends on OS you plan to use, MT7601 is supported on OpenWRT and UbuntuCore but only in Client mode, no AP.

    • G-rig on 07/01/2022 - 11:37

      Doesn't the RPi4 have built in wireless? Just using ethernet but can't recall. USB ports are pretty precious on those :P.

      • carlpepe on 07/01/2022 - 12:59

        I was just wondering what wireless chips these use cause my non-wireless pi zero and pi 2 only work with certain wireless dongles which use require less power.

        But it does seem to work for some:

          Yeah all good, only just built a pi4 late last year as a music streamer and blown away. Power use is critical, so went with a SSD 2.5" for that reason

    • McOzbargainer on 08/01/2022 - 08:15

      The MT7601 is supported by Linux.

    I bought one of these…it was terrible, constantly disconnecting. Had to do windows diagnostics, would work for a few minutes and then die. The drivers were had to come by. Its really just ewaste.

      That's 2 months away. Considering it's a small envelope from China that seems reasonable. Though most of my orders are arriving in 2-4 weeks.

      Classic Linux. Just google the chipset and Linux for solutions. Perhaps this?

        Linked driver only supports PCIe, in tree driver on F35 (5.15) has issue with the eeprom on the dongle.
