Edit Reason: chipset name corrected
)
I also did not order the USB WiFi when I bought Rock64.
I have 6 USB WiFi and all of them work fine in RaspberryPi.
I thought I could use one of them. But I was wrong
.
Since shipping cost to Europe is more than the price of USB WiFi itself, I researched Rock64 compatible chips and came up with two names.
1) rtl8188eus (caution: similaly named 8188cus does not work)
This is 2.4 GHz only. Works OoB in Linux installation on Rock64, but not in Android installation.
2) rtl8812au
This is 2.4/5 GHz dual band.
2.4 GHz works OoB in Linux as well as Android installation.
You can make 5 GHz connection work in Linux by compiling driver from the source code (see the other thread in the forum regarding rtl8812au).

So far, I could not find any way to make 5 GHz work in Android.
I am not so sure if there is 5 GHz support in the current commmunity built version of Android.
As far as I know, there still is no bluetooth support in Android.
