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

Works GREAT with Linux! I just plugged it in and it immediately started working. Never even got a chance to think about installing drivers or pop in the installation CD; I was on the internet instantly.

I'm upgrading my 2006-era IBM T60 ThinkPad laptop while also learning MX Linux, a Debian-based distribution. I wanted to add a wireless USB adapter. Online research indicated that many brands of adapters were difficult (for a Linux noob) to install on Debian-based OS's. On the other hand, I learned that Panda Wireless AC600 Model PAU0B adapters were pretty much plug and play on Debian-based distros. I bought one and installed it. I contacted Panda Wireless technical support who helped me find the right app in MX Linux to activate the adapter. Yes, the adapter is pretty much plug and play. No fiddling around in Linux terminal. Compared to the built-in wifi, the AC600 Model PAU0B adapter is 5x faster in downloads and about 18x faster in uploads. Also, a shout out to technical support. They were very responsive and helpful.

Running great in proxmox OpenWrt VM

item works perfect and had no issues, just inserted it and it worked fine. I have faster internet speed and i am able to perform the task I need to with it. I think the instructions could be more clear to support two WIFI modems but otherwise its perfect. No issues thus far.

Disappointed with the Panda Wireless® PAU0B AC600 – Stopped Working After 9 MonthsI ordered the Panda Wireless® PAU0B AC600 Dual Band USB Adapter on January 25, 2024, and initially, it worked well across both Windows 10 and Ubuntu. However, as of today, October 21, 2024, the adapter has completely stopped functioning.The major issues: No warning signs or noticeable degradation—just stopped working entirely.This product did not meet my expectations for reliability, especially given its broad OS support. I was hoping for at least a year of solid performance, but it couldn’t even last 9 months. I wouldn’t recommend this adapter if you need a durable, long-term wireless solution.

Works great under various Linux distros. MX Linux is my daily driver on an old AMD PC. I've also used it for live Linux Mint sessions along with several flavors of Ubuntu and Debian Bookworm

Connected this to SWMBO's computer - it runs Fedora. Plug and play - couldn't be much easier to useSystem recognized it, and it has been in service ever since. No messing about with kernel modules required.

It works great for me. I bought a computer without a Wi-Fi card, soneeded this. Once it was shipped to me, it connected to Wi-Fi right away, and now can use Linux with Wi-Fi.
