I tried getting an ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-N13 802.11n Network Adapter running under Debian Buster. That appears to be a complete bust (see the previous thread). Recommendations for replacements? This for a SOHO application. The adapter is to go on a FIT-PC1 using USB 2.0. 2.4GHz is sufficient; 5 GHz would be nice for future expansion. b/g/n wireless modes would be nice. Radio range of ~~30 meters indoors should do it. High speed is not a requirement. The plan is to use this with hostapd to control the network. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

I recently asked advice for a similar question, this is the answer I got: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/02/msg00615.html Regards, -- Nicolas George

Hello, Charles wanting a Buster compatible adapter, I must add that I have been unable to connect to my AP with a "pure" Debian Buster (wireless client mode, no AP mode). I have had to enable backports and use backported kernel and firmware. The firmware-misc-nonfree package which contains mt76 firmwares seems unchanged between Buster and Buster-backports concerning the mt76 parts, though.

My advice: Keep away from mt76 devices with Buster. I'm using Mediatek MT7612U and it does not work well
