Hi I'm New Here,

I have Raspberry Pi 4 I'm from dubai i bought a usb adapter (https://amzn.to/3b3x1Ey) for my computer and i tried to use it to my Rasp Pi 4 it is not working i tried installing driver watch youtube but i think this is different not compatible in my Pi 4.

Please advise me what is the best compatible on my Pi 4. My main connection is using LAN Ethernet and i need to use the external wifi to connect to my 2nd ISP WiFi because my built-in WiFi is currently sharing/broadcasting to connect all devices that has a WiFi.

Ethernet Port - Main Internet 1st ISP
wlan0 - Sharing WiFi connection.
wlan1 - connect to 2nd ISP

Then i'm using Speedify to combined Ethernet + wlan1(ExternalWiFi) connection then share it using my wlan0(built-in adapter).

Please help me to get the best compatible WiFi Adapter for my Pi 4.

Regards,
Jan

Given that a P4B already has built-in 5GHz/2GHz WiFi why do want to use a USB WiFi dongle? Whilst I can think of a couple of situations:
1) Given that the purchased adapter has an external aerial you need better WiFi power/sensitivity
2) You want to connect to the P4B directly from another computer using said dongle
Please clarify? (eg. what is "Speedify")
(The "default" setup for a Pi with built-in WiFi is for it to be connecting to a WiFi router. It can be re-configured, eg. as an "Access Point" or "Bridge" and there are other threads, mainly in this section: viewforum.php?f=36 that deal with those applications.)

Speedify "..unique Channel Bonding technology enables you to securely use multiple internet connections at the same time for increased bandwidth, lower latency, and better reliability"

Thanks for that info. - which tends to confirm my suspicions that the O.P. may get better responses in the "Networking & Servers" forum section (which I linked to).

Hi Speedify is like a VPN Software and it can Channel Bonding as per @neilgl answer is correct i already configure my Buil-in wifi as an access point using the Speedify settings and successfully connected my Android.

My Current Settings:
Ethernet port - connected to my Main ISP
wlan0 Built-in Wifi - configure using Speedify to make an access point or hotspot to share the and connect my Android/Iphone/Laptop using wifi.

so now i search in youtube but it is not a the same Rasp4 im using Youtube use a Rasp3 to configure a two WiFi adapter. I want to configure also for my Rasp4 with a Two WiFi one is built-in and the other is External WiFi Adapter like this Link from Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNtfHdwcnqU) he combine all 4 different ISP/Connections, well i can do combining Ethernet + Android using Tethering and Built-in Wifi is sharing as a accesspoint.

But what i want is to add more WiFi external adapter to connect to other ISP but i dont know which adapter that it is compatible on my Rasp4.

Regards,

Use the chipset name of a wifi adapter when looking for linux compatibility.
In your case it looks like the driver needs to be compiled to make the adapter work:

The most important issue is identifying the Chipset, as manufacturers often change due to supply:
