USB-WiFi VS rtl8192eu-linux

I've already had a look at this but unsure how often it's updated, 6 months ago according to github: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md

Just google "raspberry pi wifi adapter" or see https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Just a note that if you're _serious_ about WiFi on the Raspberry Pi... you should use an external WiFi adapter—either PCIe or USB.

With the Compute Module 4, I've successfully tested a variety of adapters [1], from WiFi 6E to older mini PCIe and M.2 cards. There's even a board made for the purpose of multi-WiFi testing, the Seaberry [2].

The Raspberry Pi 5 works with all the PCIe WiFi chips I've tested (haven't had time to summarize testing on pipci database site yet, including a mt7921u-based WiFi 6E USB adapter (haven't written that up, but check out [3]).

Hey all, I've read the Github list of Linux WiFi adapters (https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md) but I've seen sporadic comments of certain users saying some haven't worked for them. I'm a bit risk averse buying something most likely from the USA and waiting a while for it to get to Australia and it not work, so I was hoping some people could comment with their specific models that have worked for them.

It would. These should work, as clients and in AP mode. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

The information here may be helpful. It appears you may need to blacklist another driver before it’ll work. Sadly, Slackware doesn’t ship dkms, it can likely be installed but I’ve always avoided it myself on Slackware. Most solutions seem to involve Ubuntu/Debian and usually the driver support is much higher there. But there’s also no reason why it can’t work on Slackware either. Just takes a little elbow grease.

This driver here works for me on a TP-WN821N adapter: https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux. It can use dkms so that one can have it automatically upgrade with new kernels.

It looks like it's not the correct driver. They write that TL-WN823N v3 must have the rtl8192eu driver.Try compiling it yourself by following the prompts from here.

Not certainly in that way. The latest version of this adapter has a Realtek 8192eu chip. Therefore, the driver must be installed from here according to the instructions published in Readme.md.
