WiFi Dongle for MAG 250 254 255 260 270 275 RT5370 Chipset Wifi Dongle For Many Set Top Boxes

Great for my tv box picked up the wifi right away, straightforward to connect signal booming

Fantastic coverage, easy installation

I bought this to make an access point with Raspbian (Linux), as the other dongles I had were RTL8188CUS and RTL8192CU based and never worked. My only gripe is that this doesn't support 802.11n, but that doesn't matter for my use case.

The seller claims this device uses the RT5370 chipset, but upon physical inspection of the PCB, the chip is actually a MediaTek MT7601UN. While both chips offer 150Mbps speeds, they are not interchangeable. Why this matters: Driver Incompatibility: If you bought this for a device with hardcoded RT5370 support (like many older satellite receivers or Raspberry Pi projects), this will not work. Linux Support: The RT5370 is famous for its "plug-and-play" stability in Linux. The MT7601UN often requires manual driver installation or specific kernel patches. Deceptive Advertising: You are paying for a specific hardware architecture and receiving a cheaper, different alternative. Verdict: Do not buy if you specifically need the Ralink RT5370. The hardware inside does not match the product description. Save your money and buy from a verified vendor who knows what they are actually shipping.

Works out of the box with a Raspberry Pi (on Raspberry Pi OS). lsusb output: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Just needed to tell the Raspberry Pi the SSID/PSK and it's good to go. The extended antenna also means it's able to connect to weak/distant wifi

Trying to breathe life into a 15-year-old laptop using Google Flex OS which loaded fine but was not compatible with the Wi-Fi chipset inside the laptop. Managed to get the Wi-Fi working by tethering to my phone but how messy is that right? Did some research and this is one of the major shortcomings of the Google Flex OS. However, it does appear that any Wi-Fi dongle with the 'ralink rt5370' chipset will in fact work and blow me down so it did! Transfer speeds aren't great, but absolutely fine for what's needed. Also who doesn't want a retro aerial sticking out of a 15-year-old laptop!!

Setting this in WiFi extender mode in my experience, didnt work very well. Intially i was very dissapointed, but when i reset the device and set it up in Access Point mode it worked perfectly. I have a ethernet hub located uptairs far from the router, i connected this device to my hub using an ethernet cable and now i am very satisfied with this purchase.

But didn't use it yet. I have to say that the unit looks really sturdy and is well made.

Der Dongle wurde sofort erkannt und musste unter Windows (auch Linux/Raspberry Pi) nicht manuell eingerichtet werden. Die Verbindung war stabil und die Übertragungsrate im 2,4 GHz‑Netz ausreichend (bis 150 Mbit/s). Ideal für einfache WLAN-Verbindung bei älteren Geräten. Klare Empfehlung!

Funkar utmärkt!

Non seulement l'article ne fonctionne pas, mais aussi, quand on l'enlève du port USB, il se casse en morceaux dans ma main. Très déçue, qualité absolument dérisoire et très cher pour ce que c'est. Article renvoyé.
