Hey everyone! My laptop's screen is broken and I've removed it, but I'm trying to repurpose the leftover components as a home server. The issue is that the WiFi chip was in the screen, so now I can't connect to the internet. I'm searching for a USB WiFi adapter but I'd really like one that also has an Ethernet port, just in case. Are there any good options out there, or do these adapters even exist?

I found a combined USB3 hub and ethernet adapter for around £12. I think something like that along with a separate USB WiFi adapter would work well!
You’re looking for a two-in-one network solution? Honestly, if they do exist, they probably don’t perform very well. Just grab separate adapters; that’s the best way to go.
I had the same thought! But I also figured most users would appreciate having both options in one device.
