Hi ,

 

I have an orange pi zero .  I installed  armbian_5.38_Orangepizero_ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.4  my orangepi zero.  when ı use 'sudo nmtui'   , it does not see wifi networks.  I read many questions and answers about this issue but ı dont solve.  I am waiting for your answers.

Forget about using this wifi. It could be the worst chip ever made

The only real solution is to use some USB based wifi, Realtek 8811AU or 8812AU is recommended.

İf ı connection usb wifi to  my opi zero , is it connection wifi?.  The XR810 is already damaged. If ı add an extra wifi module(Realtek 8811AU or 8812AU), can it?

Optionally disable onboard wifi - blacklist the module xradio.

 

Then attach a good and supported wireless chip and you are good to go. 881x is a good choice but there are other good as well. You can find them on download page: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/ (scroll down)

Thanks  for answering . At the Opi zero this wifi is  bad. As you said, the best solution is to buy a new wifi module.
