Highlights
Quality
Great adapter, i was able to just plug it into my mini pc and it started right up,connected perfectly.
Its compact size, dual-band technology, and excellent range make it a top-performing and reliable choice.

Just plugged this adapter into my machine (an old optiplex tower), booted up and the rhel listed local wi-fi sources to choose from.
Price
The speed and range are good to very good, and for the price, it's a great value.
All in all, i'd say it was worth it for $20 to be able to plug-n-play with linux for those times i need wifi.
I didn't put any stars in tech support, because i haven't had to use it, and for $24, if it dies i'll just get another one.
Shipping
Entered the wi-fi password and it was on the wi-fi (with the rhel firewall configured, of course) with rapid access to the internet.
My order arrived on time and in excellent condition.

Competitiveness
4ghz router with the same wall intervening got a nice clean connection with throughput that was comparable to the qualcomm qca9377.
Works great with ubunto, this is a true pnp.
The other brands were asus, tplink, and "bros trend," which a windows computer identifies as a realtek 8811cu.
I have found other versions of linux that had no problem detecting the other adapters.
