Recommended. - Absolutely great product for Windows 11 and LINUX. The antenna is double normal size and penetrates signal through my three layers of bricks over a twenty foot area. Installation was easy and up and running on both system types after you have entered router passkey. You might have to restart the computer before WIFI is connected . I’ve tried cheaper standard dongles with LINUX and it’s a pain to set them up. Good value for money item, sturdy and comes with installation cd and instructions. but I didn’t need them.
