Question: WiFi adapter

[ferdydek]

Hi, First of all really love the idea, see a lot of potential in this solution.

Quick question: would this wlan adapter be compatible? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-Ralink-RT5572-300Mbps-802-11AC-2-4G-5G-dual-band-wireless-card-300M-wireless-n/32768906733.html

optionally would use https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RaLink-RT3572-2-4GHz-5-0GHz-300Mbps-WiFi-USB-Adapter-PCB-Module-Wireless-WiFi-Adapter-with/32815492744.html

I intend to buy RasPiZW + this adapted for every room in the house. Let me know what you think!

The first one says it supports managed/monitor mode: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Ralink_RT5572

The second is on a site for Kali linux compatible wifi chips: http://www.wirelesshack.org/best-kali-linux-compatible-usb-adapter-dongles-2016.html

So I think both are okay. I would recommend just buying one and testing it out first. Please let me know if they do work!

The adapter finally arrived. Only have one currently so im unable to test it with the find-lt code. Result of iw list

So I assume monitor mode is supported, correct @schollz ?

So which one did you buy/test? @ferdydek
