Nice. 
So this is the recommended adapter to use for ethos and any linux based mining os for the h81 specifically?
Thank you for determining this for me.
It does fit my maximum amount I am willing to spend on a not so needed part of this small but modest mining rig.
It is my first build so do not want to break the bank on just a network adapter instead of something that can boost the hashrate on it.

Did you think about Powerline networking ?
What is that haven't heard of it before.Can you explain to me what it is and if it will fit my current situation to try and get this board online once it is all hooked up and ready to go?
The one Link that I 've provided and you referred as extenders are the powerline networking

And for the above poster. I wouldn't need an extender my signal is very strong already which is what I am using right now with writing this on the top floor of the building with my laptop.
So signal is not an issue. So I wouldn't need to get that cellular hotspot and those plug in extenders from newegg but thank you for that option.
I just need to know what card would work at a low cost solution for this particular motherboard and if usb would work for the mining programs out there so not to run in to any issues with driver compatibility which is a pain in linux for me. Pci-express or usb. Am sure that I would be wanting to use that pci-express port for a graphics card instead if I do get a fourth card on here or even a fifth if possible.
They do say it can support up to 6 gpus on this older motherboard but I do not want to try my luck on maxing it out.
Just want it running stable as most sensible miners would in any case.

sorry i misunderstood the usb thing in the first post, so basically its a yes for a usb wireless link you can use windows OS instead.
My apology for this misunderstanding in the first place but powerline is too expensive as I would rather spend that money on the gpus instead and not on the wifi connection if it is not really a concern about what speeds it needs to mine on any blockchain.
So would I be looking at getting one of these for a quick usb solution?

or one of these just so to get a connection if I wanted to have the availability to connect via linux for ethos?

I just don't want to have a pci-express port taken up for a gpu card and the spacing available on the motherboard is all by going the usb route just so this setup is on the network.
any of the two will do in windows OS, however, I am not pretty sure in Linux or Ethos just read up the specifications and the one with wireless pci adapter has no support in linux, surprisingly with edimax usb adapter has linux support.

Just managed to get a board off ebay but need to know a few things since I am new to mining.
First off my wifi router is on the main floor and my equipment will be on the top floor two storeys up so the amount of ethernet cable needed to connect to it to get it hardwired is not an option. And I am not able to move close enough to it to connect directly into it.
So my question is what networking options do I have with this motherboard?
Can I get a 150mb wireless usb connection and call it a day? I won't be able to use the linux mining software because I do not have any linux experience to try and update the os with a wifi driver for the usb wifi card.

This is enough if you do have 1 rig only, just use the OS you ware most comfortable with.

Or would I be better off getting a pci-express wifi card with two antennas sticking out from it so I can have the option to try and get it configured in a day using linux? I've tried to get usb devices connected in windows and that is very difficult for me to get it setup to recongize it so a usb linux driver configure would be a nightmare scenario for me to be honest.
Can anyone give me a link to what I should be looking for in the easiest way to get this motherboard connected to the internet so to start mining?

What I have in mind are these:

My next question is to sort of what I just asked above.
How much of a network connection does mining need? Is a constant full signal strength needed to mine blocks?

Internet connection speed doesn't really matter in mining, a Crappy 128KBPS speed will run your single rig, however, Reliability is a big factor keep your connection stable and make pool latency as low as possible.

Thank you for anyone who can answer these questions for me as I need to get a move on to piece together this motherboard as it is bare right now except for a cpu that came with it.
