Maybe I'll try to purge the full version and install the minimal one and see if it still works. Hopefully I won't break something on the way.
Full is what it said ... while normal armbian-firmware is handpicked. When you find a correct firmware, add / push it here and it will be in a small package for good:

Have you checked all standard problems written in "How to start" in docs.armbian.com ?

I'm interested in 64 bit mode mostly because it seems to provide performance benefits.
If you rule out cryptographic instructions that comparison become more realistic. Is gain big enough to bother?
-
It looks like our configuration is broken. I don't have this particular board (closest is Lime2 and it works fine) - can you try this:
cp /boot/bin/lime2.bin /boot/bin/micro.bin reboot
If this works, than I must check why our board config is wrong.

Let's speculate that bad support for A64 is because it was introduced by a board maker(s), which does not understand this business. They know how to generate sales, but they completely fail to establish rapport with community, which is essential for such projects. Support is terrible and they expect that everything is done by community without any input except a bunch of free boards. On the other hand Hardkernel try ... harder
My first impression with Pine64 was - yet another cash collecting scheme, while for Hardkernel I can have neutral feelings at worst.- inexperienced vs experienced?
- raising popularity of Amlogic?
- right place at right time?
None of above?

This one could work: http://www.ebay.de/itm/AC1200-Dual-Band-WLAN-Adapter-WiFi-USB-3-0-WPS-802-11AC-Dongle-WINDOWS-10-DE-/222057434352 with this driver https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au on mainline kernel.
But you need powered USB3 hub, otherwise it will not even start.If you want to use it as dual band AP, forget about. Not possible ... get a router or a router like board. Be aware that junk router boards also exists ...

Can I just use Igor's lib tool on the Orange Pi Lite?
Nope. It's a tool to run on a x86 desktop PC (cross compile).

Armbian supported boards with mPCI: Hummingboard and Clearfog in different variants. There are also Intel / AMD based but they are even more expensier. Recommended wifi card chipsets:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath9k (fully OSS, up to 450 Mbps)
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k (firmware based, AC)
One more thing to mentioned. Not all mPCI cards support AP mode ... they are locked down by the firmware so you are forced to buy expensive "router class" cards. There is a hack for ath9k (already build into most Armbian kernels) since it's an OSS driver, while you have no choice with recent ath10k based cards ATM.
Linux wireless wiki is also a good start to know more about wifi.

For general stuff get this:

Is there a fast and simply possibility to set 1280x800 resolution in Armbian?
Nope. Calculation, kernel patching, recompilation, testing, recompilation, testing, ...

I am just saying that you will face similar problems elsewhere because of Linux nature / architecture. Most wireless keys will work out of the box (or after driver install) only on your PC running Windows at best. (RPi running Windows is excluded)
What to do? Learn, explore and understand that things are not just granted to work. Someone must write a driver and someone must fix problems with that driver - support is essential ... Most chip makers does this job badly, half way. As I said, we try but already hardly manage to cope with on board WiFi chips ... which are mostly low cost.If you want some professional grade services, you'll need to switch for better hardware - check boards that fancy mPCI slot, where you can put a proper router class wireless card. (Only) Those wireless cards usually works how you expect.

Shall we start to finalise and prepare for images rebuild? Some new features were already documented, but there are some ongoing things and we are also preparing new download organisation, which could be included.
- it looks like I manage to disable / merge little too much images, which needs to be built. @tkaiser was right
I made a mistake, so please check .conf if I forgot something.- beta builds. we can't check all images, but some should be enough to assume everything is o.k. ... Do we have a minimum set yet?
- I will try to enable beta testing protocol / call for testing within this build.
What else should be included / finished and pushed into this build? Shall we put some H3 mainline builds out? At least for: OPi PC+, Zero, ... ?
Is released due for 17.1. O.K.?
-
of course i tried this but somehow it not works, instruction from github works.
blacklisting the original driver is missing, the rest is the same - we are using the same (working) driver source.

Amazing what you can find in our docs

The wifi is a big misterious with orange but wifi is one of the most important feature for the actual technologies
Not just on Orange but on Linux in general. Here the advantage of bigger community (x86, RPi) kicks in. More people dealing with it, more fixed wireless drivers, but still there are chips that are not supported in Linux.
We hardly manage to put those onboard into action. And even here we face many different chips / drivers ...

The best is to simply ask the pi-hole developers. Also how to change the Raspberry logo
Perhaps some config exists ? -
https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2/
-> Kernels.
Beware - kernel 4.x is not quite ready and tested on all boards.
-
I bought it on a german internet marketplace, so that i can send it back within 14 days...
Than don't waste time and send it back. Get this for example or that. Hardware without decent support is a paperweight.

What about:
iwconfig
nmtui-connect

The last version of armbian 5_10 isn't stable ....pratically with orange pi plus 2 is impossibile to get an AP
Onboard wifi doesn't seems to be stable in AP mode, but you are using some on USB right?
Also try commenting out those lines in hostapd.conf if they exists:
wmm_enabled=1 ieee80211n=1
-
but cpufreq does not work in that beta version, although it worked good in 3.4...
Unfortunately not that simple. Some functions in mainline kernel were written from scratch by community / folks. Cpu scaling is just coming to H3 boards and it's not enabled on all boards yet. Hanging at power off / reboot is known (current) problem ... probably Archlinux uses some older or strictly unpached mainline kernel, without advanced functionalities and those problems are not manifesting. Hard to tell. Mainline support for those boards is considered development - in all possible Linux distributions.
so i should better send it back to the seller, because: there will be no sufficient support due to design flaws?
All of their boards gets their "support". You have to try it to see the difference. I have a feeling they don't care if we support the board or not ... even they directly lost customers because of that. I doubt you will succeed in anything - the board works according to their standards. It's a toy and you can play with it ...

I have installed armbian 5_20 and I'm following the same procedures as above but the file hostapd.conf doesn't exist any more ....I don't know what to do ....
Is armbian 5_20 modified and that file is somewhere ?
I have installed also the igor patch as I explain in the previous post but nothing ....
It looks like our packaging is forgetting to include config files. They are here:
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/extras-buildpkgs/hostapd/debian/config/hostapd.conf
or here:

1,2,3: Do some research around our website, forum, Github, sunxi-linux, ... Most of those questions has been answered many times.
Never trust the seller. Never.

There is different / patched driver within Armbian kernel. This problem might be the same or not ... We can't support 3rd party image builds.
