I've been using an external wifi adapter with my Allo Boss2 since I bought it. IIRC, all I've done to make it work with Moode is to turn off the internal adapter. Moode defaults to the external adapter. The difference in reception between the external and internal adapters is not too great but I don't seem to be able to activate the USB adapter. If I turn the internal adapter off I can only connect via ethernet. If I define connections explicitly using nmtui I can't figure out how to make the external adapter the default. If I set the external adapter MAC address as the only one that can access my network my only wifi option becomes the hotspot.
It's not a performance problem. The signal strength with the external adapter is a few dB better but in either case the signal strength is in the mid -50s dBM. Retirement allows me to waste hours on problems that aren't really problems.
The adapter is an Edimax AC1200 with a Realtek chipset. AFAIK it's been plug and play compatible with previous Pi hardware and OS versions. Bookworm recognizes it as a wifi adapter.
