## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi B+?**
A: MANUFACTURER COMMENT: Due to an update to the RTL8188EUS chipset, Linux compatibility is diminished with the adapter including on the Raspberry Pi. There are some third-party open-source projects that seek to have better functionality under Linux with this chipset, but we cannot validate or vouch for these options. At this point we do not consider Linux a supported platform.

**Q: Can i use it to make a wired printer with usb/network ports wireless?**
A: I doubt it! If you want to turn ANY usb printer into a wireless printer, just connect it to a headless second hand PC (or an old laptop) running Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 (works with all XP drivers & only uses about 100MB RAM), or an LTS (long term support) Liunx distro (LXLE, LinuxMint Xfce or Mate, Point Linux, etc.) and connect this usb wifi thingy to it. Then, just share the printer and you're done! In fact, connect all your printers to it, share them and forget about it. Turn off the annoying updates too. It's just a print server. ;-)

**Q: Can I use this on my Windows 7 PC to get wifi? If yes, will it be a secured connection with password?**
A: This will connect your PC to your router and modem. So if you have wireless internet set up at your home you can connect your PC to your internet securely. You have to have a router and modem in place though.

**Q: Will this be plug and play for a chromebook?  the internal wifi card in my asus c300m has gone buggy**
A: If your Chromebook has an available USB port, I don't see why it would not work.  I have a Windows system and my internal wi-fi card acts up every now & then.  When that happens I simply plug it in, sign in and keep going.  Hope this helps.
