Satellite Recommendations for ZGemma H7s Wifi adapter

[geoffdh]

I'm looking for some help getting a ZGemma H7S connected to the internet via a WiFi adapter

We've recently moved house and in the room where we plan to use the ZGemma, there is no wired connection, but there is WiFi
We have a a pfSense router with multiple VLANs via a TP-Link SG2210 switch and TP-Link EAP610 WiFi access point
In our previous house the ZGemma was running the latest OpenVIX

AI tools suggest the following WiFi adapters
Alfa AWUS036ACM / COMFAST MT7612U
Edimax EW-7822UTC or any RTL8812BU
Gigablue AC1200 dual band

The AI tools also suggest that a WiFi Extender / Ethernet bridge such as a TP-Link AC1200 RE305 or TL-WA850RE
- which connects to WiFi but has an Ethernet port, so could connect direct to the ZGemma

Has anyone had any success connecting a ZGemma H7s via WiFi and how did you do it
i.e. what adapter was used and was it necessary to download drivers

Thanks for reading and any suggestions gratefully accepted

Long time since i sold my Zgemmas but i was using a TPLINK TL WN823N

Probably very old tech that now.

We have two enigma2 boxes both with same issue as you, I know probably more expensive than a wifi adapter but I got a mesh router/access point, put one satalite unit next to each box and then plug into that from enigma2 box. Does 2 things, improves the wifi around the house and gives you network points to plug your zgemma into
