Nano USB - WIFI
 
Are these like a wireless card. you plug into USB and it will connect to your router?

Yes.

Yes, a USB Wifi adapter, just a tiny one - not at all impressed by that price, from 7dayshop you can find a Nano for £4.19 - ah, on backorder, £4.49 for one you can order now.

For £5.99 - a couple of larger N300 speed models

Or £6.99, a not quite Nano N300 - though I find it hard to believe such a piddlingly small antenna spacing truly delivers 2T2R performance

Bear in mind you won't get as good performance as a "proper" card or dongle as the aerial is so tiny!

I'd be interested to hear from one of the forum experts on the likely performance of these type of things

Depends where you stick 'em really.

The maximum performance of most antennas are limited to low single digit dBs anyway so there's not a whole lot to lose.

I have a little nano-WiFi dongle in my Raspberry Pi, and it seems to do the job!

I have one which I plug into my Raspberry Pi, does the jobs I ask.

On the poorer end of the 1-85Mb range, depending on the mode, distance and interference.

They have their uses (RPi) but single stream, single antenna wifi devices (whether nano, normal sized usb adapter, or in-built wifi card) are generally to be avoided because they're less reliable than MIMO devices, as well as slower.
