PAU06 300Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter - w/High Gain Antenna - Win XP/Vista/7/8/10/11, Zorin, Mint, Ubuntu, MX Linux, Manjaro, Fedora, Centos, Kali Linux and Raspbian

The only place I can connect my router in my house is in the furthest spot in the living room away from all the bedrooms. Since I haven't braved crawling through the attic to attach wired options throughout the house just yet I decided to get this little adapter since it was cheap and I figured if I ever got unlazy it wouldn't be a big waste of money. I am entirely glad I got this over one of the other more expensive products. This works phenomenally. I am in the back room of the house (furthest possible spot away from the router) and I still get a full 5 bars whether my door is open, closed, people are home, etc. My connection never gets interrupted and it runs strong. My download speed has increased an INSANE amount over the adapter this one was replacing which just couldn't manage to hold a stable connection over three bars.I was super happy with this product and will probably be buying a few more for the other PCs in the house until we get something more permanent set up. Hell, I may decide just to keep it wireless since I haven't experienced any of the issues that I normally have with wireless adapters. GREAT GREAT GREAT buy.Just remember that when installing you only install the driver on Windows 7 otherwise it acts a little wonky. Other than that its practically plug and play. I just stuck it in and ran through the driver install with the disc they provided, only using the drivers, and it was working within a minute or two and going strong ever since.

[edit 8 January 2017] I'm still using this today and it works great!

I recently replaced a D-Link DWA-130 Wireless-N USB Adapter with this Panda 300Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter - Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10, Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Zorin, Kali Linux and Raspbian Wheezy and my connection is now twice as fast (70Mbps to 140Mbps).Setup: Due to the fact that I am using it for Window XP I was required to use the installation disk which was very easy. During the installation, you can choose to install the driver only or the driver with the utility tool. You can use the Windows XP wireless connection utility or the utility tool provided with the software which allows you to search and connect to available networks. Complete installation time at around 5 minutes.Longevity: At this time I do not have any data to share regarding longevity as I have only been using it for about a week.Consideration(s): The adapter does protrude about 4 inches when connected so make sure that you install it taking this into consideration.
