Improving Wifi on Raspberry Pi running FPP.

In this weeks video we take a look at how the Raspberry Pi could be seen as having slightly limiting Wifi performance – especially when used in an enclosure with power supplies, controller etc.
We add an external USB wifi adapter, with a removable antenna which can then be mounted outside the case for optimal performance.
Finally, I demonstrate how to disable the internal (onboard) wifi in software so that it cannot inadvertantly come back into use.

Notes:

Look for a USB Ethernet adapter (preferably with removable antenna) based on the RTL8812BU Chipset.

Pi-Config change:
edit /boot/firmware/config.txt
and append:
dtoverlay=disable-wifi

Save & reboot.
