About the USB-N53_B1
The ASUS USB-N53 B1 is the B1 hardware revision of ASUS's USB-N53 dual-band Wi-Fi adapter, sold as 'Dual-band Wireless-N600'. It connects a desktop or notebook to an 802.11a/b/g/n network on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, at up to 300 Mbps on each band; the N600 figure is the two bands' 300 Mbps added together, and the adapter uses one band at a time.
Unlike the earlier USB 2.0 USB-N53, the B1 revision has a USB 3.0 interface so the bus is not the bottleneck. It is a dongle-style adapter and comes with a USB extension cable so it can be placed for better reception. Security covers 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
The box lists Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 support. The B1 is based on a MediaTek MT7612U chipset, which recent Linux kernels support through the mt76 driver. ASUS now keeps the USB-N53 B1 on a support-only page.
