When you look at the pine64 store, there are three wifi/bluetooth modules listed against the rock64:

• ROCK64 USB WIFI 802.11B/G/N (RTL8188EU) - $6.99
  
• ROCK64 USB BLUETOOTH BLE 4.0 (CSR8510 A10) - $6.99
  
• ROCK64 USB 3.0 Dual Band 1200Mbps WIFI 802.11A/B/G/N/AC (RTL8812AU) Adapter - $21.99
  

I can't comment as to the top two, but I have recently purchased the third one, and it just worked with a pine64 running Armbian, but not on the rock64 when running an older version of ayufan's xenial-container build. That reference to older build is important though, as there is been a recent update that says it enabled support for adapters like the AC one, so it means the ayufan images should now also work with this adapter. I would have thought the other wifi adapter was fine also, but there has been at least one complaint about it of late, so I'll leave that for someone else to chip in and comment on their experiences. There is also the specific pine64 wifi/bluetooth adapter, but you don't want that, as it is specifically for the pine64, so won't plug into the rock64, etc.

ROCK64 USB WIFI 802.11B/G/N (RTL8188EU) - works fine for me with all versions of Ayoufan's armhf OMV as well as recalbox alpha build.
Just have to remember connection is named wlx0013ef801932 instead of wlan0.

ROCK64 USB BLUETOOTH BLE 4.0 (CSR8510 A10) I have other CSR8510 chip BT - some cheap BT bought on ebay:
dodocool USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Wireless Dongle CSR8510 Support PAN A2DP
Works fine on Youfan's releases as well as on recalbox.
