Mini USB WiFi Module - RTL8188eu -

Post by flereimsaho »

I'm trying to work on the digital free library project from adafruit.
I can't get the Mini USB WiFi module to plug into the Tiny OTG Adapter - USB Micro to USB. I also tried plugging the usb wifi into a usb port on my computer and it won't fit.

I've applied a decent amount of force already.

Thanks.

Does the Wifi dongle plug into any other USB port?

No it doesn't. I've tried it on two different computers and it doesn't go in all the way.

Thank you. Could you post a photo loking into the connector end of the Wifi dongle please? 800x600 images usually work best.

It plugs about a third of the way in then gets stuck in all usb ports.

Hmm.. I don't see any obvious projections or obstructions. That doesn't rule out non-obvious ones though.

Send a note containing a link to this page to [email protected]. The folks there will get you another Wifi dongle.
