WTB: USB Wifi adapter

[jahouse]

If anyone has a USB wifi adapter that works with an HD300 please let me know. I tried finding one online but cannot find anything with the Ralink RT2870 chipset anymore.

There is an authentic SageTV dongle here on ebay right now;

... but I had the understanding there are now other options that are probably a better idea, something like this for example has been mentioned in other threads;

Absolutely, or stick to wired with MOCA or Ethernet over power socket.

I have 2 of the Encore units that SageTV sold before making their own. PM me if interested with an offer.

I have a Trendnet version of the same thing that I use as a travel router when I go overseas. It's good for that purpose, but I wouldn't recommend it as a full-time bridge. First of all, it seems like it gets awfully hot when its under heavy use. But, perhaps more importantly, mine is 2.4GHz only, and only has 1x1 antennas. You'd be better off going with something like this, which supports 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz with 3x3 antennas.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I ordered a D-link off of ebay that supposedly meets the specs we will see in a few days. I only paid $20 with shipping included, otherwise bcjenkins I will pm you. This is only a temporary solution for a tv in my basement until I finish the basement remodel.

Do you think this adapter would work?

It claims to use the same chipset.

Do you still need an official stick?

Did you get any answers on this? I'm curious; but not sure I am $30 curious.
