For now, I wouldn't recommend buying this otherwise interesting product on paper and price if the target is a Linux platform (either a microcomputer or an old PC that can't handle Windows anymore). Current Linux distributions based on Ubuntu use the 6.8 kernel (and elsewhere, except perhaps RHEL, it's no worse). You simply cannot install the current driver from this manufacturer (see negatives). Forget about similar products from TP-Link (TP-Link Archer TX1U Nano), where they are exactly the same. After all, Mercusys is apparently a budget division of TP-Link and the driver is identical.
Newer WiFi 6 standard
probably fine on Windows
Linux over-support
The driver+firmware for the aic8800 chip is not yet part of the kernel.
The current driver doesn't support current Linux kernels >= 6.3 and even then the installation is a complete brute - no readme, no support for DKMS or any common distribution formats like. deb or. rpm.
I had it unopened for a few days after I bought it. Then I tried connecting it to my home computer, it's plug-and-play, just insert it into the USB slot and it should work. It's not working. It shows the networks in range but does not connect. I tried connecting with my correct username and password, but all attempts failed.
I took the Mercusys MA14N Wi-Fi adapter to a friend's house, we tried it on his computer and the story is the same. He can see the networks, but he's not connecting.
Then I started searching the internet for the manufacturer's website and the information they provide. There is some software (for plug-and-play), I installed it and nothing happened. It's still not working.
I contacted the faculty IT department and asked if there was a problem with my password or something. The answer was negative, from my side and from their network (eduroam) everything is fine. After sending me information about the wifi adapter, I was advised to buy a new one because it is unusable with most European and global networks, which are standardized differently than the new Chinese one.
I will file a complaint with the dealer and ask for a refund
