  • Raspberry pii 3 / 4 WiFi dongle recommendation

    Sorry, can you give more information on your problem...

    Is the built-in RasPi Wi-Fi not working ?

    Or are you wanting 2 different Wf-Fi networks ? I did this - used the built-in as a Wi-Fi client for while at home, and added a dongle to work as a WAP for when at remote site.

    Have you got a Wi-Fi dongle which is not working reliably ? I have had this with an air mouse and discovered that USB3 generates RF interference in the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi range. Try moving the dongle physically away from the RasPi by using a USB extension cable.

  • Availability and Popularity in Raspberry PI

    Both are excellent, though more suited for different jobs or users. There are projects which use both working together.

    RasPi is a general purpose computer with more programming options and environments - with all the complexity and overhead. It suits people like me who are high-level programmers and don't mind spending a bit more money for the ease and familiarity of a PC environment.

    Arduino is more suited to performing specific tasks most efficiently.
