4ghz router with the same wall intervening got a nice clean connection with throughput that was comparable to the qualcomm qca9377.

The other brands were asus, tplink, and "bros trend," which a windows computer identifies as a realtek 8811cu.


I have found other versions of linux that had no problem detecting the other adapters.
