Rock64 RTL8188EU Wifi Adapter from Pine Store Tested Well - MarkHaysHarris777 - 09-03-2017
The pic above shows the RTL8188EU usb2.0 wifi adapter from the Pine Store. I have been testing this $7.00 adapter for the past day; running great !
This usb2.0 adapter has a fabulous adjustable external antennae and a really good signal; connection has been solid with no drops or errors; a really great on-on for the Rock64 !

I bought another one doing AC/BT at the same time with antenna since i need an external antenna for both BT and Wifi
but it seems it is not supported is there any other option like this dongle ?

I have the same setup but need instruction on activating that device. Anyone? Just thought of something. Does it need to be in the USB 2 or 3 port?

You can see that I have the device plugged into the usb2.0 port. Network Manager in Xenial Mate will see the device and just work; no worries.
