| Obviously the 'AP' bit is the bit we need, however considering that the built-in RPi3 Wifi adapter also had that, and never really worked satisfactorily it's just one of many things to look for. | Obviously the 'AP' bit is the bit we need, but IMHO the more things appearing in this list, the more likely your adapter is to be well tested and widely used. |
