Hello,
I have red, that WiFi card built-in Orange Pi Lite (RTL8189FTV) could make troubles (drivers), so I wonder - maybe will be better to buy Orange Pi One and WiFi dongle (a well tested one, with non-problem chipset)
Which WiFi dongle would you recommend for Orange Pi One?

I use the integrated RTL8189FTV in Opi Pc Plus.
Best thing since invention of sliced bread.
Real antenna included.  I would not bother with dongle.

best, gnasch

I use OPI - Lite.
OS is Armbian.
Built-In Wifi works stable.

A module using following chip work with OPI - ONE.
* RTL8188ETV/RTL8188EU using 8189es driver.
* RT5370 using kernel standard driver
* RTL8188CUS/CU/CE-VAU/RU with driver update
sudo apt-get install dkms
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
sudo dkms install --force 8192cu/1.10
sudo depmod -a
sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo reboot
