I quoted from a moOde 7.0.1 installation on an RPi4B using the internal WiFi transceiver. As an aside, I just got the same systemctl output from a moOde 6.5.2 player I spun up for a different test on an RPi3B+ also using the internal WiFi transceiver.
Note that looking at the statuses of dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant gives you information about two different instances of wpa_supplicant. In fact, once invoked, both instances are running on my player
It's been a while and I've forgotten why two instances. The arguments in the second invocation come from /lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@.service (I think this is the only place but I've been known to be wrong before) which includes the line
There have been occasional posts from users running into problems with WiFi dongles based on certain chipsets. The dongles were often but not always old and/or cheap. IIRC the usual cause of their problems was the transceiver chipset not working in AP mode. I have no insight into what's happening with yours.
