USB Wireless Dongle
by borgward from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J00S)
Linuxmint 21.3 Cinnamon. Dell Laptops 1520 and 1521.
I can usually connect wirelessly anywhere in our house and up to 200' outside using Edimax Ew7811-Un and Ew7811-Un V2 USB dongle. One day during recent bad weather I had very poor connection with the Ew7811-Un V2, thought it was storm conditions (we can only get wireless ISP). Found out the Ew7811-Un V2 had gone south. The Ew7811-Un still works very well.
I like the small profile dongles as I don't have to worry about knocking them off while carrying my laptop.
Is there going to be much difference in wireless range between brands? I am guessing the FCC is going to limit that?
