WiFi Dongle for MAG 250 254 255 260 270 275 RT5370 Chipset Wifi Dongle For Many Set Top Boxes

Trying to breathe life into a 15-year-old laptop using Google Flex OS which loaded fine but was not compatible with the Wi-Fi chipset inside the laptop.Managed to get the Wi-Fi working by tethering to my phone but how messy is that right?Did some research and this is one of the major shortcomings of the Google Flex OS.However, it does appear that any Wi-Fi dongle with the 'ralink rt5370' chipset will in fact work and blow me down so it did! Transfer speeds aren't great, but absolutely fine for what's needed.Also who doesn't want a retro aerial sticking out of a 15-year-old laptop!!

Not RT5370 as advertised so not the correct chipset. Given the price it's no great loss, but its very frustrating and disappointing.

Works out of the box with a Raspberry Pi (on Raspberry Pi OS).lsusb output:Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Setting this in WiFi extender mode in my experience, didnt work very well. Intially i was very dissapointed, but when i reset the device and set it up in Access Point mode it worked perfectly. I have a ethernet hub located uptairs far from the router, i connected this device to my hub using an ethernet cable and now i am very satisfied with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. Arrived earlier than expected,works perfectly on my 250 mag box,you need to go into your network settings and put it on Wi-Fi then put in your Wi-Fi password then connect,after you have done that it works fine

Bought this for our MAG 322 after reading product questions. At first we thought it didnt work but not long after we realized it was because we hadnt connected to our WIFI. Plug the new dongle/antenna into box - then look for your network settings on your box and enter your WIFI password after pressing the keyboard button on your remote. Once connected to our WIFI it worked perfectly! The person who set our box up for us wanted to charge us £20 for a new dongle/antenna so this was a bargain. Thanks seller!

The description says it is an RT5370 chip, it is in fact an RT8188 chip as reported when plugged in to a computer. No use if the software you are using only has a driver for an RT5370. So this not as described.

Plug and play, works first time :-)
