UsbCards

RE: [MeshAPuser] USB Client adapters

We're using the PheeNet WL-603 from Solwise (www.solwise.co.uk) and are very pleased with them. Much better range than the 503.

what are some of the model numbers everyone is using for usb adapters and can any be used on the nodes themselfs?

USB cards can be great fun and have some amazing power. Most of my clients run them because there are easy to install. In fact that some use it to replace the built in wi-fi card in a laptop etc. I do get a lot of complaints about the USB cards because of constant  non connections. I also notice that if USB card is running continuously for weeks that it needs to be unplug and reinstalled.

Radio cards in general especially the cheap ones that are also cheap in quality tend to be useless as well.
