Hi all,
We just purchased our H721 V5. We are wondering on how many WiFi cards do we need to install on this router? Also what WiFi cards do you recommend?
How many Wifi Cards do you need for H721 V5? and What WiFi cards do you recommend?

If you get a dual mode card, then just one. But most people do one 5Ghz card and one legacy 2.4Ghz card. The firmware cannot handle cards with bluetooth if I recall correctly, and intel wifi cards are PCI and do not seem to work in rooter firmware.
Basically I've only seen some Compex cards.

Do you need any wifi cards? Can you run H721 without wifi?

Intel cards wont work on any non-customized openWRT systems. The Linux kernel requirements are too high.
Gotta use Atheros and Mediatek
