I already have a WiFi adapter for my Pi B+ . It works okay, and I like that it was 'plug and play'. It has no antenna. I just got a new adapter for one of my PCs, but this time I went for one with an antenna (it's called a Diza100 - I've no idea who makes the 'important bits'). I have to say that the performance of the one with the antenna far exceeds the one I got for the Pi, to put it mildly. Unfortunately, when I put it in the Pi, it didn't recognise it. So, my question is, is there a WiFi adapter available that will work in the B+? Or, can I somehow get a Diza100 thing (I would just buy another, based on how it works in the PC) to work in the Pi? Many thanks for reading :-)
WiFi adapter for B+ ?

The new one might just work better because it's dual band and the old one isn't, rather than because of the external antenna.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
The 'old' one is actually less than a year old, but I will check the specs. Actually, my AP/hub/router is quite old (TP-LINK TD-W8960N hardware v3 - about 7 years, I'd guess) and is only capable of 11bgn mode, which is selected. So I'm guessing that dual band isn't even available for the 'good' adapter with the antenna :-)
