Quick thoughts:

You can always try a libre-software-based Wifi adapter. Check out this website:

https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb

If you don’t like those prices/shipping fees, then you can check if they sell that on Amazon.

Also, I’d suggest you update your AntiX to the current 19.1 (since you can do this directly via the ISO, preserving the contents of your home directory. I did it recently :))

Look for one that says it works with the Raspberry Pi; it will work with Linux in that case.

So googling my chipset should find the usb adapter you want. I won’t take apart my antenna to get the model and make.
This wifi computer is my fastest with this setup. Download dist-upgrade is best on this compu6ter for speed.
