Have you checked the supported device list in the manual and looked up their specs?

BPP900100200 - CCGX WiFi module simple (Nano USB) → No 5 GHz
BPP900200300 - Asus USB-N14 → no documentation

BPP900200100 - Startech USB300WN2X2D → no WPA3

BPP900100100 - Zyxel NWD2105 → no documentation
BPP900200200 - Gembird WNP-UA-002 → no documentation

Hey Victron, are you kidding us?

There is only one supported WiFi USB dongle with 5 GHz available?

And the price is so disproportionate!! @BobHopman

There are others, the list is what has been officially tested.

Probably is cheaper to add a smaller 2.4ghz router for all the iot devices that 2.4 anyway. 5ghz is such short range.

Or [GIT hub] to load your own (How to install driver wifi 5ghz 0bda:b812 Realtek RTL8812AU/RTL8812BU Dual Band 1200mbps Wireless USB Wifi Network Adapter Antenna Laptop Ethernet 1000M Ethernet External · GitHub).

I definitely need a WLAN module with a 5 GHz band.

The 2.4 GHz band is far too crowded in this location.

The distance between the WLAN access point and the Cerbo GX is a maximum of 15 meters and there is a line of sight.

This adapter arrived this afternoon.

I’m testing this one right now.
