I have obtained several Rosewill AC1200UBE adapters, and they work pretty decently, although, I had to reboot once, when the wifi driver couldn't find any networks anymore.
I have also obtained several PremierTek PT-8812AU adapters as well.
I am using the Edimax drivers (for their AC1200 wifi that looks just like the Rosewill, with the flip-up antenna, except in white instead of black) for both of them.
The Edimax drivers appear to just be the RealTek drivers, with Edimax branding, but they are apparently generic enough to work with other RealTek AC1200 USB adapters.
There are Linux drivers available as well. A friend is using them with the PremierTek adapter, and I brough a Rosewill adapter over the other day, and plugged it in, and it fired right up.
I also, today, removed the Rosewill adapter from one of my machines, and plugged in the PremierTek, and everything just worked.
So they are pretty-much inter-changeable, thankfully.
