Which adapter wireless?

[vafevaq2+]

Good morning to everyone.... I have an old wireless adapter Belkin (Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter) but it works with intermittence....please there is anyone that suggest me a newest one that works without troubles in linux mint 18.3 x64, and if possible to 5 ghz? Thanks

[Pjotr]

Don't give up so soon: maybe you can get the Belkin to work properly. Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
- make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

b. Do the same with the following four commands:

Code: Select all

rfkill list all

and:

Code: Select all

iwconfig

and:

Code: Select all

inxi -Nn

and:

Code: Select all
