I did some digging online and I guess this particular NIC (wireless card) in this laptop does not play well with Linux drivers. I read about this little dongle on a couple blogs/threads and heard that it plays nice with Linux. I started fresh with Linux Mint and haven't had an issue one with this WIFI dongle. I'm tapping this review out on the laptop right now and the little dongle is happilly letting me know that he is talking to the network with his little flashing blue light. No dropped connection or nothing weird. I connected to my server and downloaded about 40 Gigs of data over the WIFI and the dongle handled it like a champ.
The speeds are a little bit slow, but for my intended purpose I really don't care. Slightly slower speeds beats no speed at all. I've included a picture of speed test results from this laptop with the dongle, and my desktop on ethernet for comparison. I know comparing wireless to wired is not a fair comparison typically, but the wireless card in my desktop does about the same speed as the ethernet when I use it. Despite the slower speed of about 30 Mbs down, I am %100 pleased with this thing so far. I would have paid more for something that works as well, at a higher speed though.

Works well w/ Linux Mint
By Phil on September 12, 2017
Just got this yesterday in the mail and now really getting a chance to put it through it's paces. I have a small, cheap Asus laptop that is designed for Windows. I wanted to set it up for writing C++ with some Linux distro. I first attempted to install Arch onto the thing and was having major issues with WIFI connectivity. I decided to simplify things and try Linux Mint, by to my dismay the same issue with the WIFI persisted.By Phil on September 12, 2017
