What about https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb ? Will I likely have the same issue? I don't really want to spend $76 on two https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-pci-card-v5-w-full-low-profile-brackets . And what is the difference between the previously mentioned donge and https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-g-usb-adapter ? I see one uses N and one uses G but what does that mean? google seems to imply n is better. So do you think two of the N dongles will fix the problem?
