So I need a way to configure the WiFi dongle (connect it to the local network), but I cannot do so with the jupyter notebook (e.g as recommended here) because I cannot connect to the PYNQ board in the first place.
I think I might be confused about dongles. I have an old desktop computer that cannot connect to WiFi, and I've recently disconnected my home Internet, so I want to use a USB WiFi receiver so I can use my phone as a hotspot and be able to access the Internet on my desktop through my phone's data connection.
Is this what a WiFi dongle allows my computer to do? Perceive and connect to WiFi networks?Or is it something totally different that uses some independent data connection? (and if so, from where does it get its data?)
A secondary question:If this is how dongles work, and my phone 4G data is pretty slow at about 100 Mbps, then this would effectively cap my DL speed so that even if I use a 1200Mbps dongle, it would still only transfer at the bottleneck speed?Thanks!

Your download/upload speeds are determined by your service provider. If you are connected to a 4G mobile hotspot then you are limited by your 4G service provider.
I should add that in order to connect to your phone, your service provider and your phone, must support that feature.
I have one of these (HUAWEI) and speed is quite decent but not Wi-Fi speeds in most places. Still I can connect another computer with a standard wireless card to this 4G card in a pinch. See what your provider says about speeds.
As to the problem: It simply does not show up in the kde network manager. My reading suggests if a device has correct firmware and driver and if it is properly loaded it should show up in Network Manager.
In fact I am typing this now from my desktop PC, with its wired connection disabled, and I am using my Xiaomi Mi8 android smartphone as a hotspot connection to the internet, and I am connecting to that hotspot from my desktop PC, using the USB-wifi-dongle with your packaged version of the driver. It works great.
I now have an internet access backup to my wired connection, for when the internet in the condominium complex where I live goes down (which it does from time to time). In such a case I can now use my mobile phone as a hot spot and connect my desktop PC to it using the USB-wifi-dongle with your packaged version of the driver.
I want to make a wifi router for both ethernet => wifi and wifi => wifi from my Raspberry 4 B.
I installed OpenWrt with success and it works, but for the latter case I need a second wifi port. So I purchased a TP-Link Archer T3U USB Wifi dongle and plugged it into a USB 2 port of the RPI.
But iti did not work and finding drivers (e.g. Realtek 8812BU) only leads to shady source code packages without a decent installation manual and no ready to use drivers. So I decided to return it to the shop.
Is there another Wifi USB dongle which works out of the box on a RPI 4B using OpenWrt OS ?
I have OpenWrt OS 22.03.
With 'out of the box' I mean at least with precompiled drivers ready to install.
TP-link UE300 is a wired Ethernet adapter.
What I need is a USB Wifi dongle to add an extra wifi port to the Raspberry Pi with OpenWrt to use it as a wifi to wifi router with its own subnet.
The intended use is a travel router, so connecting the 'front end' of the RPI to the public wifi and the 'back end' is an isolated subnet.
The claim is made on this page that the COMFAST CF-951AX works with the Raspberry Pi 4, but you have to connect it with a USB "angle adapter". Plugging it in straight will block other ports, and plugging it in with a USB extension cable won't work.
I found that it's not the problem of my Linksys router, because trying with NanoPi R6S with mj2222's kernel 6.1 build I am having same problem, the AP mode started and then after getting a large amount of traffic on it the WiFi will crash with following kernel message:
Another concern I have there is that the U6 Lite consumes at max, 12W. But only 5ish Watts can be delivered by an Rpi4. Is the power sufficient for the U6 Lite? Does it ever complain about undervolting, somehow?
The U6 Lite might not get all the juice it's wanting, without using, say, an RPi5, which can deliver considerably more Watts to peripherals with their new 37W power supply. Or maybe you just have a POE-capable switch.
USB WLAN cards aren't great for this purpose to begin with, but do yourself a favour and skip rt2x00 based (old) chipsets with more contemporary mt76 based ones instead, hardware and drivers have made a huge leap forward, especially for the less common modes of operation (e.g. AP mode).
I'm still a strong proponent of outsourcing wireless to purpose-built hardware (cheap OpenWrt supported wireless routers/ APs) or at least Mediatek/ QCA PCIe cards (functionally fine, just rare, expensive and with rather high requirements on the host board
I have a comfast CF-951AX and only work stable when is connected to USB 2.0 ports, mt7921u have a temp sensor, I had observed when the adapter is connected to USB 3.0 ports temp rises about 75C and crash.
From a technical point of view, USB 2.0 is not sufficient to max out the performance of 802.11ax (and it probably won't deliver enough power either), so it's not surprising that the device (can) stay cooler, but it's made to be used with USB 3.0 to achieve full performance (but thermal design has to cope with that under full load).
I was thinking about lower down the speed so I later picked a Samsung phone with only 802.11ac 2x2 support to test with it, the speed was around 600-700Mbps however after 2-3 rounds of speed test it simply crashes.
My son's wifi dongle (TP-link-WN822N version 3) could not detect the wifi on the Sky modem, though able to see all our neighbours' wifi connections.
After several hours trying many different approaches (drivers, uninstalling etc) to resolve the situation the solution was to remove the new modem and restore the old modem (model HG659b). Now everything is working fine.
I've talked to the new ISP and they say it must be the dongle not connecting to the wifi 6 protocol. Does this sound right? Any idea how to get the dongle to connect?
I set the modem to 2.4ghz only, and got my son (it's his dongle) to follow the instructions you provided. He reports that his system (WIndows 10 fully updated) said that he had the latest drivers already.
Put computer closer to new router, turn on WiFi, may I have a photo of the WiFi list ? Please help us check the driver version of adapter and computer motherboard info and send us the photos, thank you : -link.com/support/faq/2722/
I am in possession of a Linksys N900 WiFi USB adapter/dongle. After I configured it, I plugged it into my desktop before booting the Arch install iso, hoping I could use it to get an internet connection. Naturally, it was not activated/detected by the install iso, so when I

How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
I am out and cannot access my machine right now, but I will post the output and try wifi-menu as soon as possible.
Just to clarify, I should use ip link with the dongle connected to a USB port, yes?
I am using the Beginners Guide instructions. I originally tried manually loading my wireless module as per the guides instructions on networking, but to no avail. So, I bought a WiFi dongle instead to get a wireless connection.
ip link will show you a list of all of the "Interfaces" available on your system, both physical and logical. You are likely to have a localhost, maybe a wired connection, and (I hope) a wireless connection. That is the first step, that the kernel sees the USB dongle. Next, it might need some firmware. For now, just ensure that the NIC shows up in the output of ip link. After that, we are going to take a leap of faith and see if the wireless just works. If the interface does not show up in ip link, we need to take one path. If it just works with wifi-menu, we take an optimized path, if it shows up, but does not work, we will take the third path.
To my knowledge, number 2 is my Ethernet module, 3 is my normal WiFi module, and 4 is the USB device I just inserted. I suppose it is detected, so I will follow the guide's instructions again and edit this post when I get stuck.
EDIT: Well, for the USB dongle, the guide's instructions worked. I still don't know why the instructions failed for my actual WiFi module. I apologize for making this seemingly pointless thread, but I did not know that those instructions applied to WiFi dongles.
