This cute little dongle is perfect for making your Raspberry Pi cable-free by adding WiFi. Take advantage of the Raspberry Pi’s USB port to add a low cost, but high-reliability wireless link. You’ll have wireless Internet in 10 minutes! Works great with 802.11b/g/n networks.
This is the official Raspberry Pi foundation version, for use with the most recent Raspberry Pi operating systems.
When using with a Raspberry Pi: The latest Raspbian distributions support this module out-of-the-box. Check out our detailed tutorial for how to set up WiFi networking on the Pi. If you have a model B you may find that you need to have a powered hub to use this adapter, so if you’re having power flakiness with your Pi, try a hub!
