Looking for USB WiFi adapter for Dell Inspiron 5000

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a dell inspiron 5000 14” and I’m looking to make it a Hackintosh. I’ve heard that intel chipsets are not compatible with Mac OS so I was wondering if there was any usb alternative I could use. I’m a bit skeptical of opening th laptop replacing the WiFi card since it voids my warranty, however if there is no alternative I might have to.

Edit: Found this one after a bit of searching: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU If anyone with similar hardware has had success with this adapter please let me know. Thanks.

I own 7 of those they all work .

That Realtek RTL8821CE seems to have a lot of issues from what I read based on a quick google search. If you've done the driver update and whatnot, then it might not be a software issue and may be that the wireless chip has stopped functioning. I always keep a cheap USB WiFi dongle to troubleshoot problems like this. Try that and if that works, then your problem may be malfunctioning hardware.

I bought this TP Link dongle and it works with the stock image of Retro Arena. I'm mainly using it to scrape box art.

TP Link

Consider getting something like this ($8 wifi usb stick). It can connect to a hotspot on your phone or any other available wifi. A wired connection is always going to be superior, but if it's this or nothing, an $8 solution is good to have as a potential backup.

USB wifi adapter for $10. You prob wouldn't need an extender after getting this.

OP has this

What do you need more USB ports for? Assuming the OS supports it, I imagined having a small USB WIFI adapter like this in the port.

I can't think of anything else I would use the USB for.

What's the model of wifi adapter? I'm guessing it's out of tree if you're installing drivers, that doesn't generally bode well for support.

Might just be worth buying another one for a few bucks that you know is supported in kernel. I've had good luck with these, I have a few that work on old computers and SBCs like Beaglebone Black.

I had this same issue with a Cloudready build I am doing for some family members right now. Look for WiFi dongles that have Linux support and lots of reviews from people saying it works on Linux.

I just ordered a TP-Link N150 from Amazon, but have not received it yet to confirm it works.

Panda adapters seem like the go-to for serious Linux users. I would have bought a Panda if this was for myself and I could wait a little longer for the shipping.

That specific Dongle You list - On amazon has some trouble comments.

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU

It seems like many times in the past, the company can take a Dongle, and come out with a 'new version' that is nothing like the old one.

So it seems V1 of that dongle worked well on linux, the newer V2 - has issues. But it seems there is a V3 - out now - with not much info i can find.

I would just get an Edimax or cana kit brand made for the Pi. About the same price/features - and should work with no issues.

Yes, but no Bluetooth or location services. I'm using this adapter:

This sounds like you're describing a desktop. Are you 100% sure the computer has a wireless card? If not, depending on your needs, you can get something as cheap as this to solve your problem.

Does it have to be a wifi card? There's cheap usb options if that's a possibility?

This is the one I’ve seen recommended in Youtube videos when it’s come to connecting Mini Consoles to the Network

Yea hah. I may end up buying this dude for 8 bucks, seems like a good alternative to my ancient hardware!

THanksf or the heads up

How far away are the rooms?

The cheapest and easiest thing would be to get one of these for $8. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU/

If it works and meets your needs then cool. If not then try more complicated/expensive options.

Thanks

US Amazon link for anyone else who needs it.

If for some reason you cant get it solved, your next option could be getting an USB TP-Link Wifi adapter.

They are cheap and most of the time, they work well.

$10 USB. Surprising how good the range is on these little things - Plug and Play :)

Thanks again! I’m learning as I go and appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Here is the USB adapter that I have: TP-Link USB Wifi Adapter for PC N150 Wireless Network Adapter for Desktop - Nano Size Wifi Dongle Compatible with Windows 10/7/8/8.1/XP/ Mac OS 10.9-10.15 Linux Kernel 2.6.18-4.4.3 (TL-WN725N) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/).

Anything specific I should look for in my new one other than a 5ghz connection? Are the ones that connect to the motherboard better than USB?

Hey I found this WiFi adapter and I wanna know if you think i should ask my mom to get it https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=wifi+adapter&qid=1590498480&sr=8-4

it does not matter - usb is very reliable

I meant just buy (ones that are very common and hence always good compatiblity):

I have a TP Link TL-WN725N,

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mJaeEbGD96T59

Will this work?

I got a micro wifi USB dongle like this that I had triple checked before worked well with Linux. Fixed all my issues. Bluetooth still sucks but I can just plug things in with no complaints. They make the same size Bluetooth USB dongles as well. So small I don't even know it's there. Just make sure you disable your built in wifi. They also make a 5g version if you need.

I use this one works on PlayStation classic, OGA, RK2020

Do you have a WiFi adapter?

If you do, go to the main menu and download them from the “updates & downloads” section. I am currently using es-theme-simple.

I have a TL-WN725N (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IFXQFU) and it absolutely refuses to connect to my router at all though SSID scanning works fine. That adapter worked fine with the Bleemsync kernels.

This is good if you are looking for something cheap. Anything cheaper is usually garbage.

If you're plugged into a router, the only signal you can get is the one coming from that router. The mother board may not have WiFi.

Get one of those to access wireless internet

Wireless dongles come in a few types:

USB Tiny - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU

USB With Antenna - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J65G9DD

Do your research. The ones I linked are not the only ones. Some include WiFi and Bluetooth. Some are just WiFi or just Bluetooth.

Check the WiFi speeds on the listing - you'll want AC1300 or AC/N1900. Don't get just N - it's the slower/older standard.

FYI that motherboard looks to be sold out. I would suggest this one and buying a $15 wifi USB adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF/

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU

Hm. Does the system use some external add-on piece like a USB wifi adapter to gain access, or is it internal?

Also, be sure to check the Power Management settings for them, regardless.

USB = cheaper, less range, slower ~ https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_4?

PCIe = more costly, good range, faster ~ https://www.amazon.com/OKN-2974Mbps-Bluetooth-802-11AX-Wireless/dp/B07X462KRK/ref=sr_1_11?

You need to check the brand's website to see if there are linux drivers for it. Otherwise, you need to buy a new USB Wifi adapter that is already linux compatible like the following:

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=sr_1_3?crid=4JHJL9FLSMQO&dchild=1&keywords=usb+wifi+adapter+linux+compatible&qid=1591039239&sprefix=usb+wifi+adapter+linux%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-3

You absolutely need to purchase a wifi dongle to support online access. I can't really speak to which adapters are compatibile, but pretty sure the following https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU will work.

As for the Chrono Cross, not sure what core you are using for retroarch. Probably would help diagnose the problem. Also knowing if there is a specific video config. (GL vs. GLES) you are using . Are you using ALSA audio or something else? Without running top on command line connected to the psc, it would be hard to know if there are any other processes that are running in the background.

This motherboard does not come with wifi. Wifi isn't normally included with lower-end motherboards. There aren't any motherboards with wifi that are under $100 (on amazon, at least). I was able to find a b550m version of the one I linked earlier with wifi (here) but it's $110, so probably the best thing to do is to get a wifi adapter instead.

These adapters can be hit and miss so i made sure to link one with many good reviews. Getting the b450m motherboard and a separate adapter is going to be cheaper than getting the b550m with wifi.

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU

Do you have access to another PC? If so grab LinuxMint and make a bootable USB flash drive, then boot your PC from that USB drive and see if LinuxMint is able to recognize your WiFi adapter. But it's 99.99% dead when it's gone from your Device Manager just like that.

To fix it you have to replace it if it's not soldered on (same with laptop and desktop) but it's easier to get a USB WiFi adapter for under $20-ish or so. Something like this one from Amazon.

Well, they're just USB devices - not "drives". But they generally work well. A lot will depend on how far away the desktop is from the Wi-Fi source (router). If it's in the same room, you can probably get one like this, that's the same size as a wireless mouse dongle. If the back is hidden, or the router is a couple rooms over, something like this would be better. For all around best performance on a desktop (and none of the downsides of USB), you should go for something like this - much more stable and reliable.

Three options:

• USB WiFi Dongle (link)
• PCI-E expansion card (link)
• Motherboard with built in WiFi (link)

hmm maybe it's not compatible. this is the wifi adapter i use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hBbbDb28GTBGM

EDIT 2: both the CPU and mobo are pending.

If you're going to buy one with the intent to test with and maybe use while you wait for a driver update, or use as proof that you need a warranty repair, then something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3FkyFbBTZF0A0) would be just fine. On the other hand, if you're thinking this might permanently replace your current wireless adapter, then you could get yourself something closer to [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MRVJY1G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yLkyFb830CWEN). Not that I buy them often, but it's been a long time since I've spent more than $20 on a wireless adapter, so the second one is a little excessive IMO.

If you do go the adapter route, make sure you disable the original adapter in device manager.

Another thought, is there any evidence to show that this might be a problem with your ISP? I was having a similar issue this summer where my internet would drop out around 9-10 o clock everyday. Turns out that something chewed on one of the cables outside 🤷‍♂️

Both of the builds are good but this is better. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HjyKwh. Ik I went with 3200 ram but its at such a good price and i knoooow you said no overclocking but its super simple and who knows you may change your mind. I spent that money toward a way better psu and I think it was worth it. If you want faster ram itll only be ten dollars over budget.
