Wifi Bluetooth usb Stick for Dell Optiplex 7010 LM 20.2

[Nestor_83]

Hello guys!

i am quite frustrated to be honest. Trying to get my wifi running

i bought this stick

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B09CKX ... UTF8&psc=1

and i am going to return it, because i tried several driver solutions and just nothing will work.
dont know if it has to do with the dell optiplex 7010. i did reinstall linux mint cinnamon 20.2 it without secure boot and uefi instead of legacy. like most sites recommended. but it just does nothing. i see the driver installed, but no wifi appears in my network settings.
i am looking for a solution for several hours now and this is just too much! i kind of gave up that i get it running

so can anyone recommend me a cheep wifi bluetooth adapter with fast speed
(i read usb 2.0 is the fastest possibility, so i guess 600Mbit/s would be fine. my internet connection can do more or less 40Mbyte/s)
and an antenna
(just to make sure the signal is fine when i put the rooter on another spot)
that just works on my system? kind of getting crazy looking for the right solution and i hope someone can help me with that

thanks in advance

Try installing bluetooth drivers

Code: Select all

sudo apt install blueberry blueman bluetooth bluez gnome gnome-bluetooth gnome-core pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

Then restart bluetooth.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl stop bluetooth
sudo systemctl start bluetooth

should i send it back now? i have the great fear, that nothing will change when buying a new usb stick!

is there no go to move? i kind of getting mad with a silly little problem like this. serching the internet just does not help. with every chipset somebody seems to have a problem. when i look at veryfied sticks form some site, i look just a little ahead and see that somebody has a problem with it!
when i search on amazon i can be sure that every advertized linux product has in the comment section sombody where it just does not work! getting a little desperate here!

would be very glad if somebody could help with this.

It is kind of insane how hard it is to find something fitting!

the pc itself cost me 50euro
when i go now for a solution like panda wifi adapter i would pay as much as the machine cost! and those are not really available in austria, where i live.

soooo... what to do? i am looking for hours and hours now and either it is like very slow 150mbit/s or has no antenna, which might probably work but i have a thick wall in between the router and the computer, so this is a risk as well..

really. if anybody has something please help. i am reading throgh so many artikles and forum posts now, that it is driving me mad
