I bought an ASUS rozen ( not sure if the spelling is correct ) about 2 years ago at the time it was the only 8 core laptop And tun Tap worked wirelessly I know it not guaranteed but it’s a fact that it works on some wireless adapters When I plunking Down 3 grand don’t want to take a chance If fact if I know that adapter I want dell will Build it for me with that adapter or so they told me Thanks > On Jun 15, 2019, at 11:08 PM, ''Fish' (David B.
