Yeah, this makes more sense now, and I see why it was unique to your issue. Thanks!
Interesting. I removed the RTL8188.conf file I created while troubleshooting WIFI as recommended by someone on this thread rebooted and wireless was better than it has been. I then streamed a 1080P file and the video was choppy and sound was off.
In the past I have re mediated this with the media player setting where you enable HW acceleration. I did this and playback was then the best I have seen thus far. I believe I will now create backup as I do not believe it will get better than this.
Also I do have an ASUS 5GHZ dongle . I read you were able to get a dongle to work. If so, how?
I had made a request to Codesnake in Feb of 2016 on his OpenElec build to include support for the EW-7811UTC device and he did. I'm guessing it carried forward to this build from his original code?
This is my device ID info using the "lsusb" command from SSH:
ID 7392:a812 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd
and if I do a "ls -l /sys/bus/usb/drivers" command, I get this list for my internal AND external network device (the rtl8812au is my external USB dongle):
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 r8188eu
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 rtl8812au
Finally, this is the output of the "lsmod" command:
Module Size Used by
sha1_arm 3114 0
sha1_generic 1596 0

8188eu 687222 0
cfg80211 204233 1 8812au
mali 150145 5
You should run these commands to see what identifiers you get for your device.
