Has anyone had success with using the Orange Pi Zero 2 with a USB wifi dongle? If so, what chipset does the dongle use?

I've tried a few chipsets without success:

Thanks,

I'm using it with a this USB wifi dongle Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter, but it's pretty flaky. Sometimes the performance is quite good (MB/s) and then sometimes its super slow like 5 KB/s slow. This happens in the same location within 3 feet of my wifi access point. Haven't been able to figure out what is happening.

I was able to try an RTL8188CUS today, no luck. How were you able to get yours working? Are you using the OrangePi Debian image?

Flashed a new image and yes- RTL8188CUS works.

I tried creating an AP but I think something isn't right with iptables- no internet access with additional wifi dongle or Enet.
