USB WiFi Adapter for Raspberry Pi

This USB WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) 2.4GHz adapter for the Raspberry Pi is easy to use, simple to set up and works with all Raspberry Pi models from the original Raspberry Pi 1 up to the latest Raspberry Pi 5!

These WiFi adapters have been manufactured for us, specifically for the Raspberry Pi. If you are tired of dealing with messy Ethernet cables to connect your Raspberry Pi to your network, or simply aren't close enough to your router - this is the item you need.

With the latest versions of Raspberry Pi OS, this adapter should be automatically recognised by your Raspberry Pi. Just select the WiFi icon on your Raspberry Pi desktop and select the 2.4GHz network to connect to - easy!

Note: The MT7601U chipset inside these dongles may not work in AP mode (hotspot) out of the box on Linux-based systems such as the Raspberry Pi. You may need to find and install community/3rd party drivers (or grab our fancy new dual-band adapter which supports AP mode).

Compatibility

Works with all Raspberry Pi models from the very first Raspberry Pi 1 up to the latest Raspberry Pi 5! With the latest Raspberry Pi OS, this adapter should be plug n' play with no configuration required - just click the network icon on the Pi OS taskbar and enter your WiFi details.

Note: If using the Lite version of Raspberry Pi OS, you will need to set up a wpa_supplicant file as detailed in this excellent tutorial.
