If you want to make headway on figuring which dongles work everyone should list the chipset of the ones you have tried, whether it works or not.
If you use a Linux desktop for your home PC you can plug it in and type lsusb in terminal to see what is on the USB bus.
Windows probably lists the device in hardware manager.
Example of how lsusb will give the adapter chipset:
Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188ETV Wireless LAN 802.11n Network Adapter
Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter
This way everyone can see what others have already tried.

Currently playing around with Arduinos, CHIPs, Orange Pis, PineA64s, Raspberry Pis, etc.
