Hey everyone! I currently have an antenna which is a realtek chipset (yuck) that I had to load the drivers myself. Even though I loaded the drivers from this github repo and keep them updated, I’m still getting issues like constant common disconnects, slow speeds (even though on my mobile connected to the same network I may get 6 times the speed), etc… I think I’m ready to pay up and get an antenna that has proper support in Linux, and I found this one after a little bit of searching online: official alfa link.

My question is if this is actually well supported, or even if there is something better I could get (without making me even poorer). What do you guys think, and what are your experiences?

Thanks!

Edit: came back here after a while to edit in case someone comes upon this in the future. I ended up ordering this one: AWUS036NHA fron Alfa. It has the ath9k chipset which is included in the kernel, so it seems like a good choice. Will try to remember to come back after I get it and try it put to give my comments.
