Err,, if you go somewhere like .. .. say aliexpress, usb wifi dongle, sort price,
the whole 1st page is <$5 (shipping incl), lots $2-3
2 years ago I was annoyed searching for dongles, spent $20, got 8 dongles,
only duplicates if sure working, only 1 problematic, it was a substitute,,
got money back for that (hate false advertising)
Point is, sometimes for a simple things, not worth the struggle
And bad wifi drivers can definitely be a struggle
Shipping does take 2 months though
> with shutting down the wifi chip of the PBP
Why? Make sure it is power-save, sure
No problem with more than 1 wifi device,, example
