need a USB wifi dongle for my dreampi
All of my dongles are for windows. I need to know a good low cost dongle that will work with my pi.

I have used these before on a Pi Zero before the newest Pi software came out. It worked fine and was inexpensive.

Was it easy to install? I have no clue how to install drivers on my pi.

Yea, the dongle is already setup to work on Linux so I didn't have to install any drivers. It just worked and showed up as a Wi-Fi port on my Pi.

I've been using the adapter at this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M ... UTF8&psc=1 since 2017. It works perfectly and was around $8 shipped.

With the new pi out, I just might get the 4 gig model instead of worrying about adding a wifi card?
In either case ty for the help guys.
