However, the speeds I was seeing were 10-70Mbps, whereas other WiFi devices (including an Android phone) were getting 300Mbps+ on the same network, and wired devices were getting 600-700Mbps sustained (tested back to back). The adapter worked right out of the box with NetworkManager right after plugging it in. I tested this on Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) on a Dell laptop, and Fedora 30 Linux on a Ryzen desktop. Perfect Linux compatibility though (which is rare among USB WiFi adapters).
This adapter is advertised as 300Mbps-600Mbps capable, depending on the network, but it is simply not capable of that. You will likely need to use a powered hub if you plan to run more than just a keyboard dongle and this device.Ĥ 5x-30x slower than advertised, but works out of the box in Ubuntu and Fedora Linux RT5572 Wireless Adapter.It runs really hot, and draws a lot of power. This PAU07 also works.Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:5572 Ralink Technology, Corp. The chipset RT5572 appears to be supported by Kali forums (PAU09 uses this chipset, and was tested/confirmed). I purchased this for use in a Raspberry Pi for learning ethical hacking. Electronic Dictionaries, Thesauri & TranslatorsĪn option for PenTesting with Kali or Raspberry Pi.
