Fisrt, sorry for my english! I gave a Beelink Mini MXII II 905X (running newest LE Version) to a friend and he like to watch movies on his balconi. Unfortunately his Wifi is critical and i wanted to ask if its possible to connect a USB Wifi Dongle to the Beelink and use it for Wifi. I tried with an old Fritz Stick, but i could just connect the internal Wifi of the Beelink and couldn't see any change in network or hardware on the gui.

It's possible, but Amlogic boxes currently use an older 3.14 Linux kernel so the list of USB wireless devices that might work is smaller than hardware like Raspberry Pi which uses a current kernel. There is no definitive list of devices we support (too many combinations to document).

Thank you chewitt . So i'll search for other Dongles, i'm sure there are at least 2 more somewhere in our house.
If i'll find one who works, is there a pop up like if i connect a usb memory or how will i see the dongle?

If it works you'll see duplicate wireless network names in the connections list; one will be from the wlan0 interface and another will be from the wlan1 interface. In the long run (once you have a working USB device) it might make sense to blacklist the driver for the internal wireless card to prevent it loading at boot-time, then you will only see one set of networks.

chewitt Thanks again! After 3 non working dongles, i've found a 4th one, which works. Thanks for support!
