I am using my Nano Pi R1 as a home router. I am using FriendlyWRT 19.07 image.
1. What speeds are you guys getting from the onboard Wifi? Any performance tweaks I should know about? I'm very new to OpenWRT.

2. I was thinking of improving the Wifi speed if I can by using a USB Wifi dongle?
Anybody have a list of compatible USB Wifi dongles that work with the R1 or tried some that work?
FriendlyARM has a list for the Nano Pi R2S that is helpful.

3. I tried to get a D-Link DWA-131 (RTL8192EU) one to work with Nano Pi R1 and Nano Pi R2S but it has not been going well.
