Looking for a WiFi Dongle (with a decent antenna) and the driver software for the Amiko Mini SE. FridgeFTA is out of stock. What else is available? I can find dongles with the correct chip set, but I dunno about the driver software.

You need to do some research and find out what the pid/vid number is for the "official" wifi dongle for it.

Once you match that pid/vid number with another dongles pid/vid number, you can be sure it'll work.

I'd highly recommend using wired ethernet especially with our ALi based boxes. Wifi in ALi can sometimes be a bit tricky to get going. If you really want wifi the chip to look for is the RT5370

I agree with Joe on going wired. But if you must go wireless then here is a link to one.

Thank you for the replies. I will go with a wired connection. (You wudha thought I'd learned my lesson when trying to use a wirelesses link from router to TV for Netflix.)
