USB wi-fi dongles - which ones work?

[kajkajkaj]

I have tried this one:

www.bj-trading.dk/bjshop/default.asp?pv=WN681AE&pn=Winstar&vare=145680

It has a green LED that lights up when I insert it into a windows pc, but nothing happens when I insert it into the rho box.



Do you know of any dongles that work? Preferably with a real antenna...

That's a good question. Copy from Kickstarter comment:

Yes, *some* WiFi dongles work (and some don't). It all comes down to which chipset is in a particular product - unfortunately there is no easy way of knowing. We have successfully tested dongles with the following Realtek chipsets and their corresponding USB vendor and product ids:
RTL8192EU
Vendor ID= 0x0bda
Product ID=0x818b
RTL8188ETV
Vendor ID= 0x0bda
Product ID=0x0179
Vendor ID= 0x0bda
Product ID= 0x8179
Here's a couple of links for products we have tested.

We will at a later date certify a WiFi dongle and sell directly from us.

Can't help you with the aerial, but I have an old TP-LINK TL-WN725N v2. It works perfectly and instantly in my Rho board, and is giving a speed that is more than good enough for HD netflix streaming.

I know it uses the Realtek RTL8188EUS as its chipset. Maybe that will be of some help?

Thanks a lot for the replies. I'll have to go hunting.

---EDIT---

This seems to fit the description:

The right chipset AND an aerial.

Hey kajkajkaj, did you try it? Or did you find another dongle?

[kajkajkaj]

Hey Jonas.a,

Yes, I tried the Gembird WNP-UA300P-01. So far it is working perfectly. I can recommend it.
