The N150 adapter works and I get good solid connection. The problem is that I need to reboot several times before the driver gets recognized. There are a couple of scenarios that happen.
- On booting up the wireless connection is not highlighted. That is the "Enable WiFi" cannot be turned on or it's not even there using the upper right hand icon for network connection.
- On booting up the WiFi is enabled however the internal wireless is recognized of the computer (Ralink RT5390) and the NETGEAR adapter is not recognized. or
- On booting up the WiFi is enabled and both the internal wireless and the dongle is recognized and I choose the dongle and get the connection.
So I think the internal wireless needs to be disabled I believe and also I need to somehow to get the 'WiFi Enabled' on boot up with the dongle being activated.
