Can someone re-link the combo wifi-bt dongle that works, or at least name it?

I just bought all the parts to build my Mister. The only thing I am missing is a Wifi dongle.

Going through all the posts I don't see anything listing the latest plug and play adapters.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I use this combo adapter and have never had an issue.
The BT works fine with a PS5 controller too.

A non-usb option (wifi only) would be a driver/resource-free Ethernet bridge, saw this on sale recently:

I got the BT/wifi usb combo adapter. My NSO N64 controller won't automatically reconnect after the MiSTer is powered down and then back on again. It seems that the BT on my Samsung smart TV might be interfering with the connection somehow.

Large files can be transferred up to 10MB, the wifi distance has a great impact, and the writing speed of the memory card must also keep up.

Is there a way to use the bluetooth/wifi combo adapter for wifi only? So I can use another bluetooth adapter that works.

You'd need to identify the BT device's pid/vid and blacklist it via udev rule.
