However, I wanted to share that I tried plugging the adapter into my LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and am happy to report that it works perfectly (EV3 firmware version 1.08H).</p>

If you are experiencing dropped connections, open terminal and make a file 8192cu.conf in directory /etc/modprobe.d/ with the command:</p><p>sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf</p><p>Then add the following line to the file</p><p>options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0</p><p>You should be all set! No more dropped connections!</p></p>

That text is likely not going to last that long if frequent plugging is involved.</p>

Been running for an hour now without the 7811UN losing the carrier & the interface shutting down, which is a new record. Packet loss is significantly better as well.</p>

After swapping in the 7811UN I started to lose packets and the interface itself seems to drop, forcing a reboot (even a networking service restart doesn't wake it). This could be a disagreement with the Asus RT-N66U WAP, or a missing Raspian tweak, but uptime is only a few hours at a time right now.<p>Speed is SIGNIFICANTLY improved however.</p></p>

Its 300mbs and works well with both the PI, and Pi 2. I have tested them both and they work out of the box with the debain.
They were priced $12 and I bought 2 of them
