This link has the latest drivers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Extract the contents of the .zip file to its own directory before running setup.
Mac
For Mac users running 10.7 and later, downloading the latest drivers is required.
Windows
For Windows 7 and 8, if you have another active network connection, simply plug in the adapter and Windows will automatically download and install the latest drivers from Windows Update.
Once the driver is installed, use the included Realtek utility and/or your operating system’s standard built-in support for making a new wireless connection to an access point.
Linux
This adapter and chipset has open source drivers with support for Linux Kernel 2.6.18 through 2.6.38 and Kernel 3.0.8 and higher. Driver is already in recent Linux kernel versions 2.6.39 and later (kernel option CONFIG_RTL8192CU). To download and build the latest driver from Realtek, extract the Linux driver file, and run “make && sudo make install”.
Android
Android 1.6~2.3 and 4.0 is supported with driver from Realtek. We have not done any internal tests as of yet and cannot recommend it for Android use at this time.

Performance
The small size of this adapter makes it extremely portable and keeps it nicely flush with the USB port. However, the small antenna has trade-offs in terms of range and performance.
We recommend using with an access point or peer wifi adapter that is in the same room or nearby. The adapter works best with line of sight to the access point.
A laptop with built-in Wi-Fi antennas can cause interference and connection problems. We recommend to disable the internal Wi-Fi or to use a powered USB hub or cable to help get the nano adapter out of range of other signals.
Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) connections
Because of its small size, the adapter is especially useful for setting up a separate, peer-to-peer (ad hoc) connection between two wifi adapters. Search “ad hoc wifi setup” for details.
