## Description

ModMyPi's 5Ghz "Dual Band" WiFi dongle provides your Raspberry Pi access to crystal clear 5GHz connections or legacy 2.4GHz connections at 300Mbps. With the wireless connection transmitting over 5GHz band, you needn’t worry about the interferences from the mass of existing 2.4GHz wireless devices and household appliances that may disturb with their wireless signal, ensuring a high-quality connection ideal for online gaming, video streaming, and VoIP phone calling.

This WiFi dongle provides soft AP, which can turn it into a hotspot for multiple users to access the Internet, and WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which helps you to secure your wireless network.

The unit uses the plug and play Ralink RT5572 Chipset, which requires no setup or installation on Raspian, XBMC or OpenElec.

Please note: This WiFi dongle will work directly from the Raspberry Pi USB ports. However, Dual Band WiFi dongles are juicy, and you may require a USB hub for best results e.g. if you're having stability issues.

Please note: This dongle is quite large, and will also partially cover the USB port to either left or right of it.
