  Revision C1, I have had it for many years and it was the best and most stable out of all the ones I had (now I have reached 13-14 wifi dongles. Because I am in a house where technically I couldn't have access to the internet for years, I would get wifi from the house next door with their consent, of course. Two walls away, truly the best and most stable signal compared to much more expensive dongles. Used on multiple Linux distributions + Windows. Now I have my own regular line with a LAN cable, etc., I don't use wifi anymore but I entered the process of commenting in tribute. Amazing dongle also for AP mode for those interested in access point 2.4 and 5 with hostapd on Linux.

  Excellent product, at a very good price for a renowned ac-1300 adapter. Very fast, works perfectly on USB3.0, without interruptions and without the need for configuration, but:

  There is CONFUSION with the drivers. In a few words (for those who can't figure it out), the different revision means a different chip, and therefore a different driver. The ac-1300 starts from revision D (currently D1).
  The confusion is due to the firmware version (4.02), which does NOT correspond to the driver you need to download, and the driver versions on the D-Link website, which (wrongly) follow the same numbering as the firmware (there is exactly driver 4.02 which is for a different revision!!). Also, the driver on the accompanying CD is incorrect, it is for a previous revision (it sees it as ac-1200) and the same happens with the Windows driver!!
  For proper installation, download driver 4.05* from the D-Link website, install it (it will ask you to insert the stick, preferably insert it in USB3.0) and make sure that in the driver tab (device manager\network controllers) the "provider" is D-Link and not Microsoft. In my case, even though I installed 4.05 from the beginning, Windows decided to use its own driver. If this happens, uninstall the D-Link driver (control panel\programs and features), DO NOT remove the stick yet, and uninstall the device from the driver tab (device manager\network controllers). It will appear as an ac-1200 device. Then remove the flash drive and reinstall 4.05, and it should work. Confirm that in the driver tab (device manager\network controllers) the "provider" is D-Link and the device is AC-1300 MU MIMO, etc.

  *UPDATE: The latest version of the driver is now 5.01 !!!
