Hi everyone.
My HTPC runs live Dharma and is currently connected with 200 Mbps powerline, but the transfer rates suck. Sometimes it reaches 3 MB/sec, but most of the time it's about 1.5MB/s.
So I want to switch to Wifi N. The HTPC is in the same room as the router so I'm hoping I can reach significantly higher transfer rates.
Hence my question : which USB dongle should I pick to make sure I have the best performance (has to be dual band N) , linux compatiblity, and hopefully can run out of the box with live ?
Many thanks for your help
Edit : I came across this USB Adapter from Trendnet, 450 Mbps. My router is 450Mbps compatible, so I'm tempted. Any experience with Ubuntu or Dharma Live ?
