    This is more of a general Linux thing. Check what drivers are installed, and purchase a WiFi adapter that is compatible with that, to improve your chances of success. Otherwise, expect a more uphill struggle…

    Hi, I don't know if it would suit your needs but it would likely be a lot less work to purchase an Ethernet to wifi device?  They are relatively inexpensive and can be found for purchase at many places.  It would also possibly provide a better wifi signal and IP throughput and be further away from the U96 so if you use USB 3.x it won't interere as badly.  If the U96 Ethernet is setup to accept an IP address from a DHCP server there would be no modifications to the U96 firmware or dongle drivers to mess with; just plug and play.

    Kind regards
