I bought this adapter instead of a standard adapter because we have a very large old house with 12" walls, and I have trouble with wireless range on most usb adapters. I have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the adapter, but I have actually been amazed with the performance of the Panda support team. I have been in touch with them several times because I initially had trouble with my 5GHz band performance. They reply at once, and the information they request is cogent and the solutions that they offer are sensible and they work. The adapter is plug and play for Linux. You do need to install the proper firmware for your distribution, but that is true of any adapter that you purchase. The installation disk only has Fedora files, so you will have to find the firmware necessary for your distribution. For Debian Jessie, for instance, it is firmware-ralink, and for Debian Stretch it is firmware-misc-nonfree. In any event, after you install the proper firmware, the adapter is plug and play. It is also worth mentioning here that if you run PCLinuxOS, the firmware will already be in place and the adapter is truly plug and play. Just configure your internet connection and away you go. Performance. Ironically, the reason that I initially contacted Panda support is because I was having trouble with stability on the 5GHz channel. I had no such problems with the adapters that I was using, so I was confused that this one would be less effective. It turns out that the extended range of the adapter also meant that interference from a neighbor's connection caused the occasional signal drop. Alex from Panda's support team picked up the problem immediately, and I have had no trouble since. I can absolutely recommend this adapter for Linux installations. RLF Review: Review Edited; Works Flawlessly! - EDIT: New card was received by desertcart within 2 days but I just now remembered to update. Everything was there and everything is now working as intended. Monitor mode and packet injection work perfectly on Kali. Everything is plug and play unlike the Alfa ACH model I picked up at the same time. My Alfa ACH gets a bit better range but that's a monstrosity of a device when you are required to use the included ~3ft long cable. The Panda is perfect for my mobile devices - I love the small form factor and the fact I can plug it directly to the machine. Panda does include an optional usb extension base. I also have to say that the Alfa ACH is NOT plug and play in Kali like this Panda is! Just plug in and go! The range is about 2 city blocks here - picks up 10-12 networks as opposed to Alfa ACH 14-17 networks. Altogether its a great buy as there isn't another device of this capability in this form factor. Original Comment: Product showed up without the actual Wifi dongle in the box - everything else was there including the antennas, extension base, CD's and instructions. Box seemed to have been opened after factory packaging at some time. Now the wait is almost 2 weeks out - definitely not impressed with PantherOne ## Features - Works with any 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n networks. Max. wireless connection speed: 300Mbps.

IE: Monitor Mode, Packet Injection, AP mode, etc.** A: I found that monitor and AP mode both work on 32-bit (686), rolling 2, 2016.1 version of kali, running on 4.4.0-kali1 kernel, and using debian version 4.4.4-2. For me, monitor and AP mode worked on both ports, 2.0 and 3.0. I also tested modes on different kali and kernel versions, and got mixed results - for the most part I could not get AP mode to work. I hope this helps. **Q: Is this plug n play with Arch Linux ?** A: I was unable to get this to work on arch with both usb2 and usb3 ports. Its looks like those drivers were rolled into the main linux repo. Ironically the usb extender it came with seems to have fixed the power regulation issues my other usb wifi device was having so this product ended up solving my problem, just not in the way I thought it would :D **Q: Is this the best wifi adapter that Panda offers and will it work out of the box with Linux Mint 18.1?** A: I would say yes. As it works out of the box on my Mint 17.3. I did use Mint 18 for a short enough time to run the updates with the Panda Adapter, but went back to 17.3 In my case I have an issue where I have to disconnect (unplug) my WiFi, this one included, when I LOG OFF. I have no issues with it ever reconnecting, and I recommend getting this one. I have been happy with it. Never had an issue. Edit: After reading the other responses, I use this adapter on my Linux box as my everyday WiFi connection. **Q: Does this product work on Kali 2017.2 for the raspberry pi 3?** A: It definitely works on Kali 2017.2 for AMD-64, but I’m not sure about pi. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Device for Linux *by R***F on March 22, 2017* For Linux users.

All I get after installing it is IEEE802.11 WLAN Not exist. I click on Launch Config Utility (after right clicking on their icon), and once again I get absolutely nothing. Since I know it's not a Plug and Play on Windows 8.1, I don't plug it into the computer until the drivers and utilities are fully installed (of course after nothing has happened once they're installed). I only bought this thing because I can't get 5G from my Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 Smart Dual Band Wi-Fi Router because of my Windows 8.1 and someone suggested this. Edit: I just found out my Kaspersky Antivirus is apparently the problem. Unfortunately one of the best antiviruses in the world trumps a $23 adapter. I went without the 5G for this long, it's not going to kill me to be without it. I'm sure this adapter works fine, but beware if you have Kaspersky. I'm too uneasy about completely uninstalling my antivirus just to see if this adapter does work. Even if it does work, does it stop working once I re-install Kaspersky? I'm not about to find out, thank you very much. I'm changing from 1 star to 4 stars based on Panda's help in this matter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Panda Wireless® PAU09 N600 Dual Band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wireless N USB Adapter W/Dual 5dBi Antennas - Windows 7/8/10/11, Zorin, Mint, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Centos, Kali and Raspbian - 【New Version Type-C WiFi USB】 ALFA AWUS036ACH Long-Range Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless Wi-Fi Adapter w/2x 5dBi External Antennas – 2.4GHz 300Mbps/5GHz 867Mbps – 802.11ac & A, B, G, N - ALFA AWUS036AXML 802.11axe WiFi 6E USB 3.0 Adapter AXE3000, Tri Band 6 GHz, Gigabit Speed up to 3Gbps, TAA Compliant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/38577221-pau09-n600-dual-band-2-4ghz-and-5ghz-wireless-n](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/38577221-pau09-n600-dual-band-2-4ghz-and-5ghz-wireless-n) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
