  Bought one of these before - They work out of box with default Windows drivers though they do come with a CD containing drivers.

  Works fine for what they are although they are pretty slow far away from modem; ethernet will generally be a lot better.

    Which Windows? I put one of these (well, something like it anyway presumably the same basic chip) on my Win 7 HTPC and it couldn't find drivers for it by default or on Windows Update.

    I might not bother with it for that computer specifically though given it's a bit far from the router and not like there's room for an antenna in that small package.

      From experience OOTB works with Windows 10. Pretty sure Windows 7 requires the driver to be installed off the included CD.

        Yeah fair enough. What's the name of the driver on the CD? I'll Google it up to download them at least to have on-hand for next time.

          @dufflover: I've checked the CD and there doesn't appear to be a definitive answer on that. Ended up being a bit of a mission, but I located this driver, installed it, and it appears to work fine.

  Apparently these work with Rasberry PI as well for those interested.

  Does it include Bluetooth? I've seen some of these that do both, I'm guessing this isn't one of them though…
