Help me for choose the best compatible WiFi Dongle for Orange PI PC v1.2

 

Maybe exist list supported wifi dongle?

 

The following USB-dongles are tested and work with Armbian_5.05 on OPI ONE ( little brother of OPI PC, uses same USB-firmware ) :

 

USB Device ID

 

0bda:8176       Realtek RTL8188cus       ( cheap $1.70 dongle from Aliexpress )

0bda:0179       Realtek RTL8188eu        ( cheap $1.60 dongle from Aliexpress )

7392:7811       Edimax EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] ( rather expensive, promoted for Raspberry Pi ) 

 

all three dongles work reliably, expect speeds of up to 80mbps ( depending on environment ) as compared to stable 95mbps on LAN.

 

Follow the steps in http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/749-orange-pi-pc-wireless-module-8192cu/

 

( By the way - this forum post is edited in Iceweasel running on OPI ONE remotely accessed via xrdp/rdesktop. Connection is wireless and typing is without any lag )

 

For more wireless fun, have a look at  http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1044-remote-desktop-fun-with-armbian-505-on-opi-one/

 

Good luck

I have 8188eu too, works without any glitch, even with Mainline kernels !

Hi everyone,

 

I'm using EDUP N8508 wifi dongle on an Orange Pi PC. I'm able to link the Orange Pi PC with my router in a large open indoor environment. So far I've tested about 17-18 meters - no issue. 

 

However, should I place the sensors inside a room at my house and the wood door closed, the quality drops drastically. The room is about 8-9 meters away from the door. The sensor is unable to connect to the router. 

 

Anyone tested their Orange Pi with WiFi dongle and experiencing the same issue? Any advise on my issue? Thanks in advance.
