## Description

desertcart.com: GeeekPi USB Dongle Expansion Board with Case for Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero 2, Both Front & Back Side Can Be Inserted : Electronics

Review: Perfect - Works as expected. Two blinking LEDs when powered on, for those who wouldn’t expect it. Seems sturdy. Reasonable price; I’ll buy it again. Open design: you can see everything. USB is a little more flexible than I’d expect, but I have a LoRa Hat attached to it (added weight), and why would it be moving about while connected anyway? Also, cool feature: works as expected when plugged into a USB charger (mind the voltage). No need for an additional power cable.
Review: Works great! - Works well. I can easily access the rpi Zero 2W thru the OTG usb ethernet. Rpi Debian: 1) edit /boot/firmware/config.txt add the following line. dtoverlay=dwc2 2) edit /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt adding this at the end of the very long line (separate be 'space' character) modules-load=dwc2,g_ether 3) set a fixed IP address to the new usb interface, by creating a file /etc/network/interfaces.d/usb0 like allow-hotplug usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.7.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.7.0 broadcast 192.168.7.255 gateway 192.168.7.1 This sets IP to 192.168.7.5 on the pi side. -- Now on a Linux PC, plug the pi into a USB port and boot it. After boot 'ip link' will report a new interface like: 4: enp0s20f0u4u3:  mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 5e:46:5a:b3:09:c5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff We can change the interface name to something nicer with: sudo ip link set enp0s20f0u4u3 name mypi Then configure the host interface to be on the sane subnet as the pi-usb: sudo ip addr add 192.168.7.100/24 dev mypi Now - ssh to192.168.7.5 !! works,

*by J***R on November 21, 2025*

Excelente Dongle acrilico con excelente acabado el manual sirve pero esta desactualizado en Windows ojo de como conectar la pi al cmd con el Dongle, no es un plug and play y eso hay que dejarlo claro en Windows para las demás plataformas almenos en Linux me funcionó a la primera con las instrucciones del manual Mac lo desconozco aun así los leds azules y el acrílico le dan un aspecto genial a la pi lo único 1ue no me gusto es que la pi en la parte superior queda expuesta a basicamente cualquier cosa todo lo demás excelente.
