Low profile, cheap

Takes a while to reconnect on wakeup, loses known connections on restart

Bought it when the WIFI card on my MBP bit the dust. I like just leaving it in the USB port and not worrying about breaking it off. When waking the computer from sleep it takes a good 15-20 seconds to reconnect, and doesn't seem to remember known connections after a restart, forcing you to re-enter network passwords. Connection speed seems to be suitable for basic browsing and streaming. Overall a cheap, but not perfect, solution to connecting to wifi networks.

Used it for OSMC on the Pi and it works well. Fairly easy to setup on OSMC. Cost effective. Multiple OS's supported.

A cheap and effective solution for connecting to the internet via Wifi for IOT devices.
