Panda Wireless® PAU0F AXE3000 Tri Band (2.4/5 / 6 GHz) WiFi 6E USB 3.0 Adapter - Windows 10/11, Zorin, MX Linux, EndeavourOS, Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, openSUSE, Fedora, Kali and Raspbian

This works great on my windows computer and kali VM in vmware workstation. It came right up on both with no driver install needed. The signal strength is strong and consistent. I feel that the price was worth what I paid. It came with a dongle that really made the difference on my laptop. When plugged in the rear of the laptop, the signal wasn't nearly as good as it was on the side of the laptop with the dongle attached.

I originally grabbed this to breathe some life back into my 2016 MacBook Pro the one blessed with Apple’s infamous Broadcom WiFi that loves to misbehave the moment you even look at a modern router. After fighting with flaky connections, random drops, and speeds that made me feel like I’d time-traveled back to 2007, I needed a real fix. This adapter ended up being the solution. Setup was ridiculously easy. Plug it into the MacBook through a USB adapter, load the drivers, and everything just works. No patchwork hacks, no terminal wizardry, no “pray to the driver gods” moments. It’s refreshing when tech does what it says on the box. On Windows it was even simpler: true plug-and-play. No driver hunts, no mystery errors just plug in, let it initialize, and you’re online. Performance-wise, this thing punches way above its weight. Stable speeds on 5 GHz and 6 GHz, no random dropouts, and it didn’t care that my house looks like an RF battlefield with multiple Pi feeders, SDR gear, and half a dozen ESP32 boards screaming for attention. The signal stayed locked in and clean. Build quality is surprisingly solid. The swivel antennas aren’t just for show they actually help fine-tune the connection. And for the price, getting full WiFi 6E capabilities without cracking open a laptop or doing hardware surgery is honestly a steal. If you’ve got an older MacBook with “personality issues” in the WiFi department, or you just want a no-nonsense way to upgrade your setup, this adapter gets the job done. If the company sends me another one to test, you won’t hear me complain.

So far amazing! Plug n Play, with Ubuntu 24.04 Had to fix polykit rules. You'll find it on stackoverflow Other than that, it's pretty good! Very fast - I just hope it's stable and doesn't go down after a while, like connection dropping due to power saving or whatever. Will try it out and update next.

.. Works perfectly with the latest Linux Ubuntu OS, literally plug-n-play . This is a nice WiFi adapter and I am happy with the increase in performance !

This little item has been a lifesaver for me. I had bought a second-hand tower that didn't have a wifi card but had lots of USB ports. Voila! It's been plug-and-play with pretty much every OS with which I paired it. It's not expensive and it just works. (It also worked with my laptop when I had to reinstall the OS, just FWIW)

This wireless adapter does not reliably work with Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and Intel 64 bit architecture. It will sometimes connect to the wireless signal and the stop for hours. The adapter's connection not related to its position in the room. Other wireless devices in the room work properly.

When we were upgrading our home internet to fiber, I wanted to take better advantage of the new router with more up to date Wi-Fi on the Linux Mint workstation in my den (it's a repurposed old non-Win11-capable Dell PC with an ancient Wi-Fi card salvaged from an even older desktop). The Panda AXE3000 really does the job, providing a big speed boost for a system that's a good distance from the router. Given the very reasonable cost and the fact that it worked out of the box on the Linux workstation with no configuration or fiddling about (the most complicated step was disabling the old built-in card), I really couldn't ask for more.

This is a highly versatile and easy to use Wi-Fi adapter. It has worked with every Linux distribution. I have used it on no problem with drivers works every time.

This is trash! Panda pau0f usually has the rt5372chipset but they sent me with a chipset mt7961/7921. Definitely a scam! Lol I returned it to the seller really useless!
