WiFi Dongle for second WiFi device
#5
Raspbian does support many wifi dongles.

OpenPlotter adds some more by using the installer by MrEngman!
The advantge is you can use these dongles. The great disadvantge with these wifi dongles is, whenever you update the kernel, you have to update the driver by pushing the button "Install Wifi Drivers". This is very annoying when you need this device to connect to the internet! But this is the only way if you want faster 5 GHz.
MrEngman doesn't support already supported wlan dongles. The answer "A driver does not exist for this update" will apear for all plug and play dongles!!!

Well I just checked MrEngman updates. They stop at kernel 5.10.49 on 16.7.21. We hope somebody has holiday :-)
