I would very much appreciate your advice. I haven=E2=80=99t tried it in AP mode, but I=E2=80=99m otherwise very = happy with the TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCIe card (168c:002d, AR9227, about 14 = Euros). TP-Link seems to use Atheros chips predominantly, so it=E2=80=99s= always a good bet. Stefan --=20 Stefan Bethke Fon +49 151 14070811
