   @alejandrobdn You don't.
   
   I just use a 3x3 802.11n Atheros card and wpa_supplicant and it works perfectly.

     If you want Wi-Fi network to work perfectly, you need to use dedicated, specialized hardware.

     At work, everything is fine, but at home I was temporarily using a mini PC with a Wi-Fi card as a router/firewall, and video streaming, for example, was suffering. Now I have an wireless access point with VLANs channeling all Wi-Fi traffic (currently with three devices simultaneously streaming via Jellyfin), and everything is running smoothly, with instant video playback.

     Lesson learned... And shared.
