If the PC is not close to the router, look at those with external antenna, otherwise, the tiniest dongle will do, compatible with the router protocols. BTW, if at the limit of the router range, I find a short USB extension cable allows the adapter to be moved and oriented for best reception. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 21:47 | comment | added | donkey | Thanks I actually dual-boot linux so will try this and see. The WiFi chip is embedded on the board so I'd be surprised if it's damaged. Will follow-up soon. | |

The device was connected to the internet, priror to the need to use the Intel WiFi adapter, so Windows should have installed the driver. This suggests the device was and currently in a non-operational status. | |
