This brand of WiFi adapter is built to last, small and works OUT of the BOX. I have bought two different version of this brand of adapter one that came with a driver CD and one without. I use it primarily on Linux Operating System, but I also have tried it on Windows Operating System. It works flawlessly on both with no issue or problems. Speed is FAST for being wireless; Speed of 350 MBPS between my computer and the router is the max I got, but depending on your hardware and the distance from your router, you can improve this speed even higher. The main reason I bought this was because at work due to old hardware and equipment the max Internet connection I could get from router to my computer was 10 MBPS max speed through Ethernet port or wired. This Cudy WiFi adapter Greatly Improved my speed as you can see. The best part about this adapter is how small it is and you can't notice it because of black color. Plus, the price can't be beat; I tried to buy the same brand at the local electronic store and they want over $70 dollar for it. I DEFINITELY recommend this WiFi adapter to EVERYONE. Trust me you won't regret it. :) Most of all Thank you for this awesome website, Mr. Jeff Bezos. I am saving a BUNDLE. :) Happy desertcart Shopping, my friends. Review: Perfect For Linux !!! - **UPDATE** . I still feel this is an awesome adapter and perfect for Linux, the commendations in my original post, ( see below ), have not changed. I'm updating this in order to add some context and info for folks who may be wary of purchasing this based on comments that the adapter has "stopped working", or that it no longer connects. . A note \ observation about Operating Systems in general, and specifically Linux installations. . . Operating System "updates" can have serious negative side effects on 3rd party devices, including causing them to stop working. Even Windows updates do this sometimes, that's why you'll see lots of Windows KB Articles regarding 'broken' devices after an update. Linux is no different, and in fact, it may be less forgiving. . Windows and Mac operating systems have more of a "...let's try to do everything for the user because the vast majority of 'typical' users don't really know what's going on under the covers anyway...". However, Linux is, generally speaking, for the more geeky crowd, it's not always a good OS choice for the faint of heart, and sometimes requires messing with the system to get things to work. . . That said, and to that very point, I *just* had an Ubuntu Update take place on my PC, and after reboot, my Cudy WiFi adapter no longer worked, in fact, Ubuntu didn't even recognize it existed. Does this mean the adapter is garbage and no longer works? Absolutely not, ( I'm using it right now to type this ), does it mean that Cudy produces low quality equipment or drivers? Again, no. What it *DOES* mean is that the Ubuntu Update removed the previous installation of the Cudy WiFi driver. That is **NOT** Cudy's fault, Ubuntu \ Linux removed the drivers. . . Why? When Linux distros update, they sometimes take stock of what's been installed, particularly drivers. If the drivers aren't recognized by that Linux distro, it might think the drivers are old ones that have been deprecated and are no longer needed, hence it will actually uninstall the drivers, which can also remove the entries for the driver in the system config files for the network adapter. At that time, rebooting the system will come up with a completely missing WiFi adapter. . The remedy for this is incredibly quick, simple, and painless. Re-Run steps 5 and 6 in the installation manual. Those are the "sudo make" and "sudo make install" commands, then, reboot. Once you do that, the WiFi adapter will "probably", ( your mileage may vary depending on your distro ), be alive and well and you'll be back online. . Again, Linux isn't for everyone, it's VERY easy to have things "stop working", that doesn't neccesarily mean that thing is bad, it very often simply means that thing's drivers are no longer installed. . ** Here's my Original Post ** . I got this adapter a couple weeks ago, and It works perfectly with Ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04, Mint 19 & 20, ( both Ubuntu and Mint are Debian based ), as well as Fedora 33, ( which is Red Hat's desktop fork of Linux ). . One thing to note is you need to extract the driver and build/install it, ( using the make commands ), in order to use it. For people unfamiliar with how to do this, or who may be unsure that they are technically capable, the adapter has very good documentation in the folder on the included disc, ( you can also find the driver and documents on Cudy's website for those who would like to view it before purchasing ). . I whole-heartedly recommend this adapter, even for people new to Linux. πŸ™‚ ## Features - Wi-Fi 5 USB 3.0 Adapter: Delivers combined speeds up to 867+400 Mbps across dual or tri-band frequencies; upgrade your PC or laptop with next-generation wireless connectivity - Compact and Portable: Small form factor design is easy to carry; plug into any available USB 3.0 port for instant wireless upgrade without bulky hardware - Dual-Band Connectivity: Switch between 2.4 GHz for extended range and 5 GHz for maximum speed; backward compatible with Wi-Fi 4 and earlier standards for reliable high-performance networking and seamless - USB 3.0 Interface: High-speed USB 3.0 connection ensures maximum data throughput; backward compatible with USB 2.0; plug-and-play on Windows with automatic driver installation - Universal Compatibility: Works with Windows 7/10/11, macOS, and Linux; FCC and CE certified; AC1300 class device ideal for gaming, streaming, downloading, and productivity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084FS7BWF | | Best Sellers Rank | #170 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | Cudy | | Built-In Media | Installation Guide, WU1300S | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Linux, Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 4,125 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 867 megabits_per_second | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1.48"L x 0.67"W x 0.33"H | | Item Weight | 4.8 g | | Manufacturer | Shenzhen Cudy Technology Co., Ltd. | | Mfr Part Number | WU1300S | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 7 | | Model Number | WU1300S | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.48"L x 0.67"W x 0.33"H | | UPC | 644925515111 | | Warranty Description | 2-Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cudy - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Linux, Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** USB - **Data Transfer Rate:** 867 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Item Weight:** 4.8 Grams - **Product Dimensions:** 1.48"L x 0.67"W x 0.33"H - **UPC:** 644925515111 ## Images ![Cudy Wi-Fi 5 High-Gain USB Adapter AC1300 MU-MIMO WPA3 WU1300S, WU1300S - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UDsdCgCzL.jpg) ![Cudy Wi-Fi 5 High-Gain USB Adapter AC1300 MU-MIMO WPA3 WU1300S, WU1300S - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GNle2owHL.jpg) ![Cudy Wi-Fi 5 High-Gain USB Adapter AC1300 MU-MIMO WPA3 WU1300S, WU1300S - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tnPwGA2KL.jpg) ![Cudy Wi-Fi 5 High-Gain USB Adapter AC1300 MU-MIMO WPA3 WU1300S, WU1300S - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+W5vtInWL.jpg) ![Cudy Wi-Fi 5 High-Gain USB Adapter AC1300 MU-MIMO WPA3 WU1300S, WU1300S - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Lm4hobjhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Anyone know Cudytech's country of origin?** A: China **Q: I've been told that usb wifi adapters work in linux, but they don't.

The previous adapter I had was also only a USB 2.0. That being said, I had high expectations for this Cudy adapter. Was grateful that the overall completeness of the product (the installation, extra user-friendly LAN utility program, the driver download location) was seamless. However, for a 3.0 USB adapter at this price (which I've used many of in my work setting), I was hoping for a better range capability. Fast forward a month and Microsoft rolls out their Windows 10 Cumulative update January 5th 2021. With this update, several hours over the last two days troubleshooting, and then later discovering the Cudy's updated 2020 driver for this product, coupled with the Windows update renders the whole adapter undiscoverable, not to mention the Windows update restricts certain website proxy situations (which Cudy uses, boy was that a struggle just to get the driver download to finish before being labeled "forbidden") I've come to two conclusions about this product: 1. For the price, there should be continued, vigilantly updated driver support from their website that coincides with all system updates and also from a shared file hosting link within the Amazon description. There should also be a secure weblink from which to download these drivers so that people wont have to compete with proxy issues 2. The product overall is probably better suited for laptops and hotspots or desktops/TVs that are within a 10 foot radius of the router (I'm in the next room down the hallway but it's still only about 15' max). Because cable companies are offering two-in-one gateways with a forced dual band auto-connect function, most people are going to want to be close enough to ensure they remain on the fastest signal (not the most reliable). And for that reason, you need an adapter that is responsive enough, reliable and strong enough to keep you from being kicked to the lower ghz signal. In summary, I would probably recommend this product to someone who needs an adapter just to get by with a decent connection, or a user that is on-the-go. But not to someone who intends to remain system updated, or in a business setting where reliability is key. It's a solid product and at a decent price, but I do feel there might be a couple better options out there. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cudy AC1300 WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter for PC, USB WiFi Dongle, 5Ghz /2.4Ghz, WiFi USB 3.0, Wireless Adapter for Desktop/Laptop, Compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, mac OS 10.6～10.15.3, Linux, WU1300S - Cudy AC 650Mbps USB WiFi Adapter for PC, 5GHz/2.4GHz Wireless Dongle, WiFi Wireless Adapter for Laptop - Nano Size, Compatible with Windows XP / 7/8.x /10/11, Mac OS - TP-Link Nano AC600 USB Wifi Adapter(Archer T2U Nano)- 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Transceiver for PC Desktop, Travel Size, Supports Windows (11,10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP / Mac OS X 10.9-10.14) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/188706527-cudy-wi-fi-5-high-gain-usb-adapter-ac1300-mu](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/188706527-cudy-wi-fi-5-high-gain-usb-adapter-ac1300-mu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-07*
