OK, thanks.  A USB TP-Link here is used with a laptop.  For a desktop 
system, a PCI-X adapter might perform better than a USB.  Will see 
what is available.

Interesting article about commercial products. 

I imagined FPGA based hardware assembled by J. Doe on the kitchen 
table.  It would need to be licensed similar to amateur radio? But 
available licenses don't cover the WiFi band? Wouldn't it be similar 
to licensing outdoor Christmas lights because they radiate a week EM 
field?  Isn't radiated power below some level exempted?  

Does the FCC (Industry Canada) drive around every residential 
neighbourhood and knock on every door where a field is detected and 
ask to verify that it is generated by licensed equipment?  Seems 
unrealistic.

Regards,                                  ... P.
