I'm looking for a USB WiFi stick/box with as many of the following features as possible for testing and site surveys, any suggestions?
1. 2.4/5 Ghz
2. External antenna port so that I can attach a directional antenna
3. Compatible with XP and Linux - no funny drivers needed
It would be nice if this could plug in to my Android phone too, but I don't know if that's possible. It would be nice to not have to lug around the laptop.
It would also be nice to see and/or communicate with 5 Ghz radios such as Tranzeo, Ubiquity, and Soletec.
You'd be better off using a portable 12 volt power supply and UBNT Bullets AirMax with assorted antennas. Taht will also give you a basic spectrum analyzer.
