Hi all,
I'm trying to install XBMCbuntu on an older computer. I have to use wifi as the computer will be quite far from my router. I have a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB wifi-adapter, and the XBMCbuntu-installer sees it but it won't let my connect with it. I'll type in the password and hit connect but nothing happens.
XBMCbuntu also sees an old PCI wifi-adapter (b/g only) and if I type in the password for my wifi I'm able to click connect, but eventually it just times out.
I also tried a Netgear WNA3100 wifi-adapter but that doesn't even come up in the list of available network adapters.
Any thoughts on this situation?
Preferably I'd like to get one of my current wifi-adapters working (the TP-Link or the Netgear), do you think that's possible?
If not can you recommend me an adapter that will definitely work?
Thanks,
nejo
