Hi! Eric as for the wi-fi I have solved the problem in an empirical way: I have long bought
a TP-Link TPL-MR3020 mini router which detects available wireless networks and which has an ethernet port to which I can connect my laptop . It also has the possibility to connect - on the move - an internet key. The only problem is that to configure it and to detect the networks I need a win or linux browser because with LINKS - which I use in dos -it is obviously not possible. regards andrea Il 18.03.2021 13:55 Eric Auer ha scritto: > Hi! > >> Am just wondering if this is the current status, or some old comment: "Wireless devices connected via USB can not yet be used with FreeDOS."
