My motherboard only supports Ethernet and I was thinking of getting a PCI Wifi card because the link speeds are bad. Our university wifi infrastructure is new and robust, but the Ethernet connections are still on phone jacks.
I will probably use this for gaming in windows seeing as my download speed in Linux is not really a priority
I was thinking of getting this
but is there anything I should look out for?
If you plan on using Linux that ASUS card isn’t the best option. It is a Broadcom which commonly have issues on Linux. For Linux Intel WiFi cards are pretty much what you want and they’ll work great.
I can confirm that this WiFi Adapter works well under both Windows and Linux:
TPLINK N900 works great for me
How about some old router as a bridge? No issues in terms of compatibility at least.
Can confirm. I have three for these laying around and they work great in Linux.
I don’t have any extra on me
This is on sale again, but this time I have changed the op
If I am convinced, will probably going to use this for Windows gaming seeing as I already have Ethernet for Linux.
People mentioned coil whine, will it be louder than a Fury X or will the Fury X drown the whine?
