According to Amazon reviews, this adapter uses 8812BU (rtl88x2bu) drivers and therefore should work for wireless as well as support monitor mode and packet injection in Linux.

Super shilled brand here on Slickdeals, but I've bought a cable from Ugreen before they "expanded" to Amazon and started paying off SD staff to likely build their US brand recognition. I found a Reddit post about how Ugreen and Baseus were the only respectable cable and computer accessories brands on AliExpress so I took a chance. All the things I've gotten have worked well so far (USB A to A cable from a long time ago, USB C to lightning cable, and Bluetooth 5.0 adapter). Keep in mind this company has zero support so you're screwed after your 30 day return period ends. Luckily, I haven't had anything go bad and I'm not buying anything expensive from them.

In my opinion, I don't get the paranoia surrounding this brand and SD shilling. The same nonsense was going on back when other companies like Anker, Aukey, RavPower were trying to get sales. Did people seriously think there were some special promo codes that just so happened to find themselves on SD without any payoffs or other shenanigans going on? Where was the backlash back then over that?

I hear all the wannabe experts on Slickdeals act like they know everything when they say these items are shill deals and aren't worth trying (even though you can return them through Amazon...). These same idiots probably convinced countless people not to sign up for things like Windscribe lifetime deals or buying super cheap items that were likely paid off posts. Who cares about the "integrity" of deals? Do 5 minutes of research on brands and figure out what's trash and what's not.

Not a chance. What you need is a wifi bridge aka gaming adapter to allow wifi connection via network port on the printer. I used a Linksys WET610N for years for the same problem as well as a few others (my fave was testing VPN at a company where the corporate wifi connects automatically when in range- I would disable wifi and then connect to my phone hotspot via the wifi bridge connected to the laptop ethernet port). As long as you still have a 2.4GHZ wifi network available, one of those used is like $15. A USB wifi adapter would never work since it is a "host" device and the printer would have to have native support for it.

does anyone know if any of these can be used with MF4770n printer?
the printer does not have a wifi built in, but it has a USB port,
so is it possible to preconfigure any of these devices through a pc,
and connect to a printer imitating a direct USB connection?

It most likely will not work.

Placed two separate orders for the different ac1300 adapters. Hopefully they work for my purposes. The built in wifi on my minisforum um790pro systems are erratic at best. Im told its because the case is interfering with the signal.

Should consider the ax for a little more, should give you much better performance.

That's a lot of fluffy words to try to promote this brand. I will say, however, I bought one of their steam deck docks and it has been working fine with no issues. I personally find ugreen deals on here a little too overpriced considering you basically have no warranty and it's just another Chinese brand.

And to your Anker, aukey, ravpower point.... all of the few aukey and ravpower products I have purchased years ago are now dead and failed in some manner. Just because SD shills a particular brand, doesn't mean the brand is reliable.

Never had a reliable USB wifi dongle after trying this and at least 2 other brands - made sure all drivers were updated, tried older versions of drivers just in case... but nothing worked consistently.

I eventually decided to get a used Linksys RE6500 range extender (with Ethernet ports) for $25 on eBay and it works wonders. Obviously don't have the flexibility to quickly switch networks or the portability, but for my needs (getting reliable Internet to the further areas of my workplace) it works perfectly fine - only had to reboot it 3x in the 1.5 years I've have it.

Luckily, your printer has Ethernet, so you have three options:

-USB wireless print server. These run anywhere between $30 and $80, so they aren't the cheapest solution. However, they are tailor made for what you're trying to do and the easiest to set up. If your printer only had USB, this would be your only reliable option.

-Ethernet over power line adapters. These basically turn your electrical wiring into a wired network connection. They aren't super reliable or fast, but will be more than enough for printing. The only caveat is your router and the printer have to both be on the same breaker. Beyond that, they're just plug and play. These run about $35.

-Wireless access point/repeater/repurposed router. This is your cheapest solution, with some APs from lesser known brands costing as little as $12. Requires some setup ahead of time, but it's also the fastest option for transmission. If you ever use the scanner, this is the way to go.
