The TP-Link WN-722N USB adapter is a very new device compared to those distros, which and not often updated.<br />
<br />
are you using VMware vSphere ?

I just re-arranged the network where I can have two eth ports via copper instead of trying the WIFI. &nbsp;What's the best virtual rtr distro, minus the USB obligation?

I still just built an XP machine and used ICS. &nbsp;Figured M$ doesn't care if I bootleg one copy of XP.

Windoze is easier, if you like Windoze!<br />

We just love the small footprint of Freesco!<br />

You cannot beat 1.44MB in 16MB RAM!

Anyone recommend a known-working distro of linux like freesco or m0n0wall that supports (oob) a tp-link WN-722N USB adapter? &nbsp;Trying to create a virtual wifi router that can connect to one of our guest wifi networks. &nbsp;I had used Ubuntu and Minty linux with network manager, but you have to alter the source code in order to change the shared subnet to 192.168.1.0/24.<br />

Thanks!

Virtual wifi router for vsphere

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
