My recommendation: Even if recent models of Raspberry Pi includes a Wi-Fi adapter, it’s not really convenient when you are flashing a new operating system almost every day like me 🙂
I have to do the basic configuration each time, and my Wi-Fi password is too long for this! So I’m doing the configuration one time on a Wi-Fi extender, and I plug my Raspberry Pi on it with a basic Ethernet cable.
This way, I’m using DHCP all the time, and never type my Wi-Fi password.
It’s a bit of money but it saves me a lot of time 🙂
Strong points: There are 4 gigabit Ethernet ports on this model, so you can plug several Raspberry Pi, or add your TV, your game console, etc.
And by the way, it’s an excellent Wi-Fi extender, even if I’m not using it for this reason.
