No surprises, and product as described.
------------------------------------------------------------
I've been using it for a while now and it's a good idea to have it on my computer, but I'm not sure I'll be able to use it on my computer.
The only downside is that it's not very powerful, good for putting a fixed computer on wifi but won't go through big walls, only in the same room or if it's thin walls but won't go through big stone or concrete walls.
A hardware of average performance and quality that remains very correct for such a small price.
I bought it to connect my printer with wifi to my desktop computer, while I use cable internet to take better advantage of the fibre.
Connected to a fixed PC running Windows 10, it is recognized directly.
For Linux or Windows XP users, simply switch to Windows 10 and use their non-standard environments in Virtualbox. The key will be recognised. Personally, I installed MOJAVE and Windows 2000 SP4 like this, and it works.
Remember that Windows XP has been discontinued for years and it's logical that manufacturers don't care about it anymore, for Linux, apart from "rebels", this system has no interest apart from being used as an Internet server or data server. No serious software running on it, for info, I'm a software designer since 1981 and I know what I'm talking about
For its range, it is logical that it is not important given its size. Laptops with an antenna around the screen often or equivalent solutions.
Personally, when I'm on the move, I always bring a USB extension cable to position the USB key near the hotel room door to improve the signal.
