Hey all,
Searching for a while does not really seem to give me the answer I am trying to find but:
Is there a USB WiFi adapter that supports the 5 Ghz band which will work out of the box with OpenWRT on a Raspberry Pi? I want to use it as a client. So, to connect with another Wifi.
Just wondering which one I could consider to buy and what your experiences are so far.
Thanks in advance.
Btw, I am aware the Raspberry Pi is not the ideal hardware for a router. Luckily, I do not need the bandwidth.
Was also wondering; what are your experiences with running OpenVPN on a Pi with OpenWRT? Someone told me that the Pi is not the recommended hardware for it, and I should use Wireguard. However, it does not seem that NordVPN supports wireguard.
https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi those would work as APs too.
NordVPN seem to support wireguard
As you guys may know NordVPN supports wireguard for over a year now and unfortunately they're not planning to release configuration files anytime soon.
I thought sharing this tutorial here so people can at least enjoy the performance of wireguard.
All you need is linux machine or if you don't have one run it on vm.
I'm using ubuntu.
install following packages on your machine:
wireguard sudo apt install wireguard
curl sudo apt install curl
jq sudo apt install jq
nettools sudo apt install…

Important: Price and availability of listed adapters is subject to change. Updating the list of adapters does take a considerable amount of time. I try to complete a review of the links at least once per month. This site has increased in popularity to the point that readers of this site may cause inventory problems for some sellers at times so you may need to wait for inventory to be refreshed. To help with this problem, I have listed multiple links from multiple sellers for some products. If you see any problems or have links that should be added, please post in `Issues.`
Market Conditions: 2022-05-28 - Many good adapters are available. Prices for some, but not all, adapters are still higher than before the pandemic and certainly higher than we would like to see. The global shortage of chips caused by fab plants being shut down for periods during 2020/2021 and the inadequate investment in new fab plants for many years has led to tight markets that have caused high prices for some products and shortages of some products. This problem has recently been compounded by international shipping problems, continued outbreaks of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine. Higher than normal prices as well as periodic shortages may continue for some time...possibly into 2023. Most of you should be able to find something that meets your needs at a price you can afford if you shop around.
