Panda Wireless PAU0B AC600 Dual Band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wireless N USB Adapter W/High Gain Antenna - Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Zorin, Mint, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Kali Linux and Raspbian

This is the second time that I have purchased a Panda wireless adapter. I like its design, great performance, dual-band capability, fast speed, easy installation, and reasonable price. I will highly recommend Panda Wireless PAU0B Dual Band!!!!

Easy install. Works flawlessly. 👌

One of my Raspberry Pi music streamers had a on-board WiFi device give up the ghost, so needed a USB replacement. This works perfectly with piCorePlayer 11.1.0, and doesn't require any external drivers with Linux kernel 6.12.67. Wireless performance is miles better with a USB dongle, particularly this one with the high gain external antenna.

If you are using this for a DIY WiFi Pineapple/ ShadowApple build...let me save you some time with the issue of the card not being recognized initially. ssh into pineapple from computer while connected to pineapple via ethernet- ssh [email protected] Now fix ssh fingerprinting crap - remove offending line with provided command - then restart ssh session - ssh [email protected] then: opkg update opkg list | grep mt76 Look for something like: kmod-mt76x0u run: opkg install kmod-mt76x0u When it's done you can exit ssh and reboot the device- should show up. Hope this helps someone else. So far the card has been fast and stable for me and it's the perfect size/weight for my project.

Insane. Out of the box Linux support (I’m in cachyos). I had just powered on my bc-250 steam machine, opened it up, popped it in and WiFi immediately came up in steam big picture. Solid product

Been using this as an external antenna wifi device on my Raspberry Pi 5 and it works great so far.

Easy install on ubuntu 22.04.3. Works out of the box on 2.4Ghz but won't log into my 5G. It see's the 5G network. It just doesn't login. I haven't tried to trouble shoot this. I get a great signal but I'm only 30ft away with 1 wall between me and the router. Haven't tried tech support.

Worked out of the box on Ubuntu 24.04 on the 5G band. The 2.4 band worked AFTER i disabled the internal WiFi in the computer BIOS.

It works weel with the system after installation.

cumple con su función, la uso en diversas computadoras con linux, se configura rápidamente el driver y sin problemas actualiza el equipo para agarrar 5g

the Panda Wireless PAU0B expecting a decent dual-band adapter with a high-gain antenna. Unfortunately, this has been one of my worst tech purchases. Main issues: · Extremely slow speeds on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz · Poor signal detection – it fails to pick up networks that my other devices find easily · The MediaTek mt7610u chipset performs terribly despite being "plug and play" For reference, my internet speed test shows 48 Mbps upload and 57 Mbps download. this adapter feels sluggish and unreliable. It struggles to maintain a stable connection even at short range. I tried all the usual fixes – different USB ports, driver reinstallation, adjusting router settings – nothing helped. Save your money and buy literally any other adapter. This one is not worth the frustration. For an even shorter, punchier version (if the platform has a character limit): Complete waste of money. Terrible speed, can't detect networks properly, and the driver is a mess. The high-gain antenna is just for show. Do not buy.
