Hey there,

I would like to set up a 5GHz Wifi connection between two NVIDIA Jetson Nano in AP mode to stream video data.  
I am looking for a USB wifi adapter that will work on a NVIDIA Jetson Nano as a client in a 5GHz connection.

My hardware setup consists of a NVIDIA Jetson Nano devKit and a Jetson Nano on the Leopard carrier board (LI-NANO-CB V1.2).

On the NVIDIA devKit a Lairid M.2 dual band card is used. This is intended to be the access point in the 5 GHz WLAN network.

The Jetson Nano on the Leopard carrier board will represent the client in the network connection. The Leopard carrier board has no M.2 interface so I need a WLAN USB adapter which i am searching for.

I have already done some research and found the following possible devices.

EW-7833UAC:  
Driver package is usable for kernel version 2.6 -5.1. I currently use kernel version 4.9 on Nano. So it should fit…

Does anyone have experience with these USB WLAN adapters or can tell me if Jetson works with one of these devices.  
I had bad experiences with USB WLAN adapters in the past (not working drivers, 2.4 Ghz works but 5 Ghz does not).

Maybe someone here can help me or give a recommendation.

Thanks and best regards !
