    Default Wifi dongle

    great to see the site back!!

    question for the T5 DL community....

    I just moved and now I need a wifi bridge as my mancave setup directly to the router is gone....

    can anyone tell me what their experience is with the wifi dongle's? which one is the best one? I don't mind the money as they are all in a relative range in price....

    I cant do the powerline bridge as the outlet near the router is already maxed out and the wife will be up in arms if anything else ruins the aesthetics of the room...

    If you're stating that your Dreamstink is ethernet cabled to the router & it doesn't work,you may have to sort that out before going wifi bro.

    I meant I lost the mancave

    the receiver has been running like a horse for a few years now

    Another solution could be:
    If you have an older router that you aren't using anymore and it's on the compatibility list for dd-wrt, you can set it up as a bridge and there you go! I was about to buy a dongle or bridge when realized I could do this with my old router that was sitting around collecting dust.
