On android and Remix it wont work (at the moment at least). You will likely get it to work in Linux with a bit of tinkering
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter

Sorry if I come out condesending; If you read a little on the forum, you would not be so disappointed. The wifi adapter is 10 usd. Linux distro is free, fast and stable, but has other issues that Android and Remix does better. Like mesia support.
If you don't want your board, sell it. There are plenty of users on this forum that enjoy what disappoints you personally.

None I know of are supported in Android or Remix. A whole bunch are supported on Linux. Again - supported Pine wifi and bluetooth addon board is 10 usd. Probably worth every penny you save on frustrations.

I can't understand why there are so many threads regarding this dongle yet NOTHING has been added, even latest image. It is SHOCKING.
