2.4 GHz 300 Mbps USB Wireless Adapter

This compact USB adapter adds 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity to desktops and servers that lack built-in Wi-Fi. It supports IEEE 802.11 g/n networks at up to 300 Mbps and works in both infrastructure and ad-hoc modes. The device is suited for administrators who need a simple wireless link for rack-mounted or headless systems.

Check OS version and USB port availability

Verify that the target machine runs one of the listed operating systems, including Windows XP through 10, Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.8, and the specified Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10, Mint 14 to 16, Fedora 16 to 20, openSUSE 12.2 to 12.3, Kali Linux 1.0.3 and Raspbian Wheezy. Ensure a free USB port is accessible and that the router operates on the 2.4 GHz band with g or n support.

Replaces missing or failed internal Wi-Fi

The adapter upgrades systems that have no wireless hardware or a defective onboard module, delivering 300 Mbps peak throughput on 2.4 GHz g/n networks. It is not for buyers who need 5 GHz band support, 802.11 ac or ax speeds, or Bluetooth functionality. The jump is worth it when a quick, driver-friendly wireless link is required on legacy or server-grade platforms.

Questions about this item

Does the PISKEKAT USB adapter ship with any cables, brackets or driver media, or must those be purchased separately?

The adapter plugs directly into a USB port and uses drivers already included in Windows XP through 11, Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.8 and the listed Linux distributions, so no extra cables, brackets or installation discs are required.

Should I choose the 150 Mbps or 300 Mbps wireless-N version for a typical 2.4 GHz g/n router?

The adapter supports a maximum wireless connection speed of 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz g/n networks, which is the higher rate offered by this model.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 300 Mbps link once the adapter is installed in a server?

The 300 Mbps figure is the peak PHY rate; actual throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead, encryption, interference and the half-duplex nature of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, typically delivering a fraction of that number in sustained transfers.
