Best WiFi USB Dongle

[grish]

I wonder what the best wifi usb dongle for ubuntu is.

I have the Edimax 7811un and now finally got it to work, had a lot of problems with it and I needed some hours of help from a friend who is a really experienced linux user.

Which WiFi USB Dongle do you guys use?

Any recommendations for the future?

I am actually using that very same one.

But I didn't have any problems at all with it, I just plugged it in and it worked.

What version of Ubuntu are you running?

Running 12.04.1 LTS.

I just could never really connect to the router, ubuntu kept on asking me for a PSK.

Now it works though, thanks to a friend who helped me through IRC.

Which version are you using?
EDIT: Ah, 12.10, had that before, didn't work either.

I am Running Ubuntu 12.10 but I have also updated the Linux Kernel whenever there is a new release.

A lot of hardware is supported by the Linux Kernel and eliminates the need to install Drivers...

Also make sure you have the latest Firmware for you router installed.

I have the trendnet tew-424ub and it works great. I just plugged it in and it was good to go.

Router firmware is the latest.

Which kernel would you recommend me to install?

I have 3.2.0-35-generic-pae at the moment.

What a coincidence.
On it now.

TP-Link TL-WN322G v3 / TL-WN422G v2 802.11g [Atheros AR9271]

Works OFTB on 12.10 Ubuntu/Mint 14 (or even Fedora 18).
A pleasure on Linux.

Might order that one if mine keeps causing problems.

I already had the windows DVD in my hand earlier, but I thought "nah, this can't be it." so I kept on rebooting until it worked.

My netbook, running ubuntu 12.04 as well has an atheros wlan chip too, never caused problems.

If you got everything working now I wouldn't worry about upgrading the Linux Kernel and just leave well enough alone.

I guess you are still having problems?

This is how I updated to the latest Linux Kernel...

Have you installed any Proprietary ATI or NVIDIA Drivers?

Sometimes the Kernel Updates don't get along with Proprietary Video Card Drivers.
