Dear
My Cerbo GX had a Wi-Fi signal of 55%, I bought a Wi-Fi Dongle antenna for 2 dollars and this increased the signal by 26% reaching 81%, I think this information can be useful to someone, I hope it helps them improve the Wi-Fi of your system.

After plug it in, seems that the remote console hangs, should I reboot the Cerbo or only wait?
If you have to connect it to usb port 2 or 3, it works for us.
The one closest to hdmi, since it is only power
That is a very good gain in signal strengh. Can you help me with the steps to setup a Victron nano Wi-Fi dongle?
I have tried several times plug it in the first USB port of my Cerbo GX and it hangs the remote console, which is the way to st it up?
Thanks in advance
The 1stb USB is not a true USB but is only there to power a GXTouch screen. Try the 2nd or the 3rd (and ..... RTFM :) ).
What I wanted to understand is there is some setup, reboot after pluging the nano Wi-Fi dongle.
I have RTFM several times with no answer to this procedure, it only talks about different dongles compatibles with the Cerbo but no about setup.
Thanks again.
On WiFi dongles.
There's a comment in the manual about dongle selection, which basically says many work, some don't. The Cerbo runs the Venus OS, which is a Victron version of Linux. I've found that there are dongles which insist on loading their own drivers. In general these do not work under Linux.
B asked on my experience with Linux on the Raspberry Pi, I suggest that if you can't find one of the Victron supported/certified dongles, look for one that says in its specification that it is good for Linux. Much better chance of success.
Dear
I leave the link of the WiFi antenna, I'm going to test it with a raspberry 3b+ and I'll tell you how it works
