Can you recommend > another USB Wifi stick to replace ? Depends. I've to say that I'm slightly biased towards Atheros products. Although, Ralink and Realtek have interesting products as well. So, if you don't need 5GHz then I would go with a ath9k_htc device like: TL-WN821N *V3* [Note: V3 is important, because previous versions are based on AR9170, however they stopped making them some time ago [6-7 months?], so it should be safe to assume they've disappeared from retail stores by now.] if you do need 5GHz, then it might be a good idea to ask: George Nychis He has done some testing with several 5GHz capable ath9k_htc devices from different vendors and might know which are well suited.
