Simply unique with extraordinary connectivity capabilities!
This product was produced of high quality goods, both packaging and delivery were superb, the adapter itself proved to be extremely powerful in comparison to my previous adapter, with myself being three floors above the main position of my router with 100% signal/connection I was more than satisfied!
Works well on Linux, good signal
This dongle is wide (3cm across), I recommend getting a USB cable as well if you don't want it to block other USB ports!

For reference, the chipset is Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072

The leaflet didn't really offer much in the way of Mac help and the disk needed a bit of rummaging around to find what might be a driver.
I think I tried 2 drivers and neither worked properly.
Contacted the retailer here on Amazon and they quickly pointed me towards an internet download page, which of course you have to do on a different...
