In general, non of the “dual band” wifi adapters will work very well, if at all. There are drivers for a couple of them, but most don’t work at all. For the most part, we recommend the Edimax 150MBit adapters. They seem to work the most reliably. I personally use the EDUP 300Mbit adapters, but I cannot find them anymore. :( For the most part, if you go to Amazon and search for “Raspberry Pi Wifi”, what comes up should work. > I tried the linux driver option and none of them came up with wlan0.

The script that we use to install drivers on the image is at: https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/blob/master/SD/FPP-Wifi-Drivers.sh <https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/blob/master/SD/FPP-Wifi-Drivers.sh> So you can likely use that as a starting point to see what you need to do. As I said, though, the issue is actually finding drivers for the appropriate chipset.
