I will describe in details later, the reason why I chose this model, and the problems I encountered with in my earlier attempts. It supports 802.11n and works well on Raspberry Pi when in managed mode.

The Wi-Fi adapter I used was Edimax EW-7811Un, which might be the #1 best seller on Amazon among USB 2.0 Wi-Fi dongles. In spite of the large amount of related articles I could find on Google, I still struggled a lot, because of the Wi-Fi adapter I used.

Recently I managed to host one Wi-Fi access point (AP) on my personal laptop, which runs Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and the other on my Raspberry Pi, which runs Raspbian (Debian).
