well.... I decided on:2 of Netis WF2118 Wireless N 300Mbps PCI Adapter with Two 5dBi Antennas and Low-profile Bracketthe price was right and they seem to work on Linux.On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 5:05 PM, Michael <bmike1@gmail.com> wrote:What aboutWill I likely have the same issue?I don't really want to spend $76 on twoAnd what is the difference between the previously mentioned donge andhttps://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-g-us ? 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?b-adapter On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 4:19 PM, Brien Dieterle <briend@gmail.com> wrote:Don't buy anything unless you can confirm it has 100% linux support. The PCI version of that card says it has linux support, but PCIe version looks suspicious. I don't think PCIe cards will work in a PCI slot.Just get a card from here:

They have antennas on them that are much more powerful than the tiny little antennas that are built into the USB dongles. I've got a dongle that won't pick on the access point at the other end of my house even though my laptop and a computer with a PCIe card pick them up fine.

I was speaking with my father about this and he said that I probably need to update my drivers. Being on Linux means my drivers are updated everytimeI update the computer I think. He then said that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and the same thing goes for the cards. So I need to ask what cards have people had success with?

Do you think the problem could be the dongle? Would getting a wireless card resolve the problem?--

------------------------------I moved into a new place which offers free wifi (I'm renting a room). I have my wifi dongle plugged in and sometimes wifi works and sometimes it doesn't. Could it be something with Linux because the woman who owns the house says wifi works fine for her. I am on a guest account.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
