AR9271:
The Atheros AR9271 single-chip USB solution provides enhanced Wi-Fi performance and value for home gateways, set-top boxes, gaming consoles, printers and a variety of other embedded wireless products
Does that mean that routerboards will now work with USB adapters, like NETGEAR WNA1100?
yes
I have a TP-Link AR9271 based USB Wi-Fi card plugged in and it doesn’t show in interfaces?
Can see it in resources though?
Is there anymore information on this? How to set it up, compatible devices, etc?
in rc10, the stick hanged my server; never tried again.
Anyone have this working well? If so, what adapter are you using?
Hi rmichael,
have you tried NETGEAR WNA1100 on mikrotik RB?
Thanks
A.
Any news?
+1 
I’ve bought one adapter, when it will be in my hand I’ll sharing the results…
Hello everyone, i have RB750UP and TL-WN821N how to make them work?
Thx
We only support USB wireless cards with this chipset “AR9271”. Your card has a different chipset, so RouterOS will not recognize it.
It doesn’t work!!! 
The interface was discovery, but the configuration doesn’t work in fact, I can’t connect to them in any configuration I have tried…
Damn!!!
Normis, AR9271 doesn’t work properly. Any settings I have tried, the interface not works properly.

P.s. RouterOS 5.16
could you clarify what exactly is not working? give us some more information and we might be able to solve the issues
Hi normis,
some example:
I want to use usb wireless in ap mode (license 4), so i connect the WNA1100 by netgear (AR9271 chipset) in the usb port. The mikrotik detect chipset and I can view this wireless interface under wireless page. Now I’ve set up one ip address to this interface, a dhcp server. one SSID and all other information needed by wi-fi, no wep or wpa protection are enable.
If I try to connect to this new network, the computer says “unable to join the network”. I’ve tried only B, only G only N, but every time the result is always the same…Unable to Join…
Thanks
Andrea
I can confirm that AR9271 based TP-Link USB adapter doesn’t work correctly in ROS 5.xx… ROS see the card, possible to change settings etc. but WiFi is absolulty unstable… WiFi link goes up and down etc… Hopefully it will be fixed in 6.xx…
to Mikrotik guys: If you are sure that AR9271 should work perfectly, can you provide working example of settings? TIA
Same here… to be discovered is not enough… to work…
@normis,
can you provide the exact model of usb adapter that the developer use?
So we can try…
I tested TP-LINK WN722NC - discovered but doesn’t work correctly…
