[Discuss] USB Wifi adapter

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

It worked for a month (40 days). Unfortunately it is outside of Amazon's
return policy. I have an old 2.4G tp-link I can use.
I have placed it in a couple of different USB slots, I have also plugged it
in without the stand. (note the stand is just a USB cable). After a bit of
playing I have it back on. After some playing around I have it working
again. We'll see if it lasts through tonight's blu meeting.
