Re: Recommendations wanted: usb to WiFi dongle

My advice: Keep away from mt76 devices with Buster. I'm using Mediatek
MT7612U and it does not work well

Hello,

Charles wanting a Buster compatible adapter, I must add that I have been
unable to connect to my AP with a "pure" Debian Buster (wireless client
mode, no AP mode). I have had to enable backports and use backported
kernel and firmware. The firmware-misc-nonfree package which contains
mt76 firmwares seems unchanged between Buster and Buster-backports
concerning the mt76 parts, though.

Recommendations wanted: usb to WiFi dongle

[Charles Curley]

I tried getting an ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-N13 802.11n Network
Adapter running under Debian Buster. That appears to be a complete bust
(see the previous thread).

Recommendations for replacements?

This for a SOHO application. The adapter is to go on a FIT-PC1 using USB
2.0. 2.4GHz is sufficient; 5 GHz would be nice for future expansion.
b/g/n wireless modes would be nice. Radio range of ~~30 meters indoors
should do it. High speed is not a requirement.

The plan is to use this with hostapd to control the network.
