Raspberry Pi Dual-Band 5GHz/2.4GHz USB WiFi Adapter with Antenna
IMPORTANT! To use this WiFi adapter with Raspberry Pi OS, you will need to install a driver. This adapter will not automatically work without driver installation!
We have documented the installation process for you here.
Please note that this driver works as of 18/09/2023 however changes to Raspberry Pi OS or the driver repository are out of our control and may break at any time.
If the on-board WiFi antenna on your Raspberry Pi isn’t giving you enough range, this dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz USB 2.0 WiFi adapter is a great option.
The antenna is dual-band meaning it can connect to a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network, and supports the 802.11ac standard (3 times faster than 802.11n networks).
The USB 2.0 adapter features an LED status light and a removable antenna.
Compatible with both the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 3B+/3.
Installation
The adapter requires driver installation which will take around 5 minutes. See our installation guide here.
