I am currently running LibreElec 7.0.3 and Kodi 16.x on Raspberry Pi 3. I have 3 units. I just recently purchased three Edimax AC1200 MU-MIMO USB2.0 WiFi Adapters.
My inquiry at base is to know if support currently exist for (or if plans to support are in the works for) the Edimax AC1200 MU-MIMO USB2.0 WiFi Adapter (chipset: RTL8812BU)
As best as I can tell from my reading and poking around the chipset RTL8812AU is supported from LibreElec 7.95.06 onward. Of course this includes Kodi Krypton which may break my builds and add-ons.
I've found a couple of links below that suggest a manual way of introducing support for a new WiFi dongle. Is it possible to use some similar method to provide support for this adapter on LibreElec 7.0.3? Or any version for that matter?
I will continue to search and research for a solution but perhaps someone with knowledge can let me know if my efforts may bare fruit or if I should go ahead and return to retailer for a refund and exchange for a more compatible [and slower] Wifi adapter which is my current plan.
How to add WIFI dongle (Netgear WNA1000M)?
Edimax EW-7811UTC wifi dongle support RPi3?
To approach from a completely different angle,... Are there any 802.11AC WiFi adapters out there that support AC1200 and are already compatible with LibreElec 7.0.3?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help.
