USB WiFi 802.11b/g/n Module For Raspberry Pi and more PRODUCT ID 1012 • Description Make your Internet of Things device cable-free by adding WiFi. Take advantage of the Raspberry Pi and Beagle Bone's USB port to add a low cost, but high-reliability wireless link. We tried half a dozen modules to find one that works well with the Pi and Bone without the need of recompiling any kernels its supported by the Bone's Angstrom installation that comes with each Bone as well as the Adafruit Occidentalis distribution. You'll have wireless Internet in 10 minutes! Works great with 802.11b/g/n networks. When you don't need the small size of our Miniature WiFi adapter, this guy has a bigger antenna for greater range! If using with a Beagle Bone Because of the high power required by WiFi, a 5V 2A power adapter is required to power both the Bone and WiFi. Flaky behavior and crashes may result if this is not followed! We have a tutorial for using this module with the Beagle Bone! If using with a Raspberry Pi The latest Wheezy distributions support this module out-of-the-box. Also, the Adafruit Occidentalis distribution has support built in. Check out our detailed tutorial for how to set up WiFi networking on the Pi You may find that you need to have a powered hub to use this adapter, so if you're having power flakiness with your Pi, try a hub! • Technical Details o RTl8192cu Chipset o Dimensions 59mm x 18mm x 8mm o Sticks out 48mm beyond USB port o Weight 6g o Wireless Standards IEEE 802.11n draft , IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b o Host Interface High speed USB2.0/1.1 interface o Data Rate 802.11n up to 150Mbps downlink and up to 150Mbps uplink , 802.11g 54 / 48 / 36 / 24 / 18/ 12 / 9 / 6 Mbps auto fallback, 802.11b 11 / / 2 / 1 Mbps auto fallback o Frequency Band 2.4GHz ISM Industrial Scientific Medical Band/li> o Chipset Realtek o RF Frequency 2412 ~ 2462 MHz North America , 2412 ~ 2472 MHz Europe , 2412 ~ 2484 MHz Japan o Radio Channel 1 ~ 14 channels Universal Domain Selection o Antenna Type Integrated Antenna o Roaming Full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell o RF Output Power 13 ~17 dBm Typical o Modulation 11n BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM with OFDM, 11g BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, OFDM, 11b DQPSK, DBPSK, DSSS, CCK o Data Security 64/128-bit WEP Encryption o WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK.
