Hi all,
This is my first post. I apologize if a similar question has been asked, but I could not find one using the search function.
I was hoping for some advice. I am currently in the process of dumping my ISP's router and building a small custom network. The project is almost completed.
I am working on the last piece of the setup, the Access Point. The AP is a laptop with a couple of router class mini-pcie cards in it, running on a linux distro. It was a somewhat painful process to get to this point.
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone was doing something similar and could recommend some mini-pcie cards that perform well with hostapd or has other suggestions? I'm nearly up and running at this point, but I'm wondering, if things don't work out the way I expect, if there are other cards I should look into? I am interested in any N and AC cards that you have experience with that you know to function well on a linux box.
Thanks in advance for anyone with input!!
