Re: [LUG] TP-LINK TL-WN881ND

 

Hi Matt

Yes I am sure. I tend to impulse buy and rather than do research (i.e. talk to you guys), just get what looks good at a reasonable price. But yes please advise me what I should be looking for. Thanks. Yes definitely I need help.

Hi

Sorry. I can take the card back so let's start from there shall we. 
Forget trying to get this one installed and could you recommend 
something better please?

And thanks. And sorry, I will ask next time.

...and now I totally feel like the bad guy, probably deservedly :|

Are you *sure*? We can definitely get it up and running if you'd like - 
for all I know you picked it up for £5 and if your wifi is only running 
at 300Mbps in the first place it could be a bargain.

But that specific model is so obviously problematic under modern Linux 
it does seem like it may well just continue to cause you issues as time 
goes by and upgrades break it again. For your own peace of mind if 
nothing else it might be better just to get something with rock solid 
mainline support.

Please don't apologise to me though, I'm not the boss of anyone. My 
fault for being too critical, you were only asking for help after all.

Cheers
