Wireless network dongle for Argosy HV335T

Recently I bought an Argosy HV335T media player, and since it isn't near a wired network point, I thought it would be a good idea to use a wifi dongle.

Argosy USB Wireless Dongle support:
● 802.11g (Realtek RTL8187B only)
● 802.11n (Realtek RTL8192/RTL8191SU only)
But not all network adapters with these chipsets work. I tried three different wifi adapters before I finally found one that works. The first three I bought because of the chipset (twice at mycom, who have great service; the helped trying to find the right one and returning non-working ones was no problem, and one at amazon.de I ordered LogiLink W-LAN 54MBit USB 2.0 Adapter, Realtek Chip.

On the Argosy forum I found a list with tested and working adapters. Here's the list, for future reference:
Airlink AWLL6075
Airlink AWLL6077
Belkin F5D8053v6
Cnet WU906
D-Link DWA-130
D-Link DWA-131
Encore ENUWI-G2 (802,11g)
MIMO network adapter 300Mbps
Monoprice USB Wireless Lan 802,11N1 1T2R adapter
Zonet ZEW2546
Zxtreamer wireless Antenna ( tested by end-user)

Finally, at amazon.co.uk I bought the AirLink101 AWLL6075 Wireless N Mini USB Adapter which is nice and small, 54n so quick and works perfectly with the Argosy HV335T!
