USB WiFi adapter that works with the GT1?

Dora

Isthere a USB WiFi adapter that works with the GT1?

PreferablyAC dual band and from a reputable company. We have mostly TP-Link here.

WiFi on my GT1 is horribly slow.

Thanks!

Thank you, but are you sure it does not natively support any of them?

See this:

They are saying "for computer Android TV Box" in the title.
But I am looking for a better one. I already have a weak one.
What do you think? Does Android support some of them? Is this device like all Android devices?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Look for a device that has Linux support, not only Windows/Mac. Android is running a Linux kernel. For 6 euro it is not that expensive. It depends a lot on the kernel modules included by our manufacturer, though.

I have successfully used a Panda PAU06 with my MiniMXIII II and it uses the same chip (Aigale) as the GT1 so I would presume it would also work with that

Hi,

I don't think GT1 uses the same wifi chip as the Panda PAU06:
GT1 does support 802.11ac (5.8G) whilePanda PAU06 doen't.

What happens when you connect it? - How do you choose which wifi is used? Is there a choice somewhere?

There was a post here that apologized for giving the wrong firmware update to GT1 users with a different wifi, so, I don't even think GT1 is the same as GT1.

I think support is something that android comes with, but I am not sure if the manufacturer can remove or add driver support. I would ***guess*** that yes, but rarely do it.

Hi,
I have also the TP-Link. It worked great with my Raspberry PI. Did you find a way to connect external WIFI adapter to your GT1?

Thanks,
Eyal.

I only tried an old different one that I had, and it didn't work.
What model did you try?
