Hi guys, can you let me know which USB WIFI adapter with antenna provides access point support for the RPi B+? I am doing a hotspot project, and therefore I needed to have a good coverage/range, and able to support a high number of clients.
I'm currently using the edimax ew-7811un nano adapter, it can be set up as an AP, but the range is only 10-15meters max, therefore I needed to find an adapter that has a higher gain, with antenna. |

It's a captive portal project. I wanted a low cost AP+captive portal instead of getting a server router which costs several hundreds. |

But since I got my raspberry already, I wan to try my best first on that so as not to waste my money spent on the PiGreat hardware, robust; great software, manipulable. Able to handle up to 100 clients according to the manual. http://www.lelong.com.my/uap-ubiquiti-unif...6-01-Sale-P.htm It comes with hotspot portal I see, you need to google more to find out. https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Configu...ion/ta-p/474293 |

Now lurking around google seek for home automation info, but damn, still lacking of "touch wall switch" in the market hence the high price.  |

QUOTE(yu_wang @ Apr 14 2015, 01:20 AM) http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters Thanks for the link! But this is the hard part. Most of the products doesn't write the chipset used, so it's hard to decide which can work. The only common adapters found here is the d-link, aztech and asus, but i couldnt find the chipset in its datasheet...This is a good starting point, but you'll have to narrow it down to those that have high-gain antenna, can be access point and are available locally. |
