So I am building HM number 2 and the first one is still going strong. Here is my dilemma with the new meter.
Ethernet works fine and webUI is able to be used without issue. I plug in the wifi adapter I bought and I am not able to get anything to connect.
If I swap the adapter to my original adapter things work fine and I can setup and join my SSID.
I bought both adapters from Amazon (re-ordered the same adapter from my previous orders).

Upon close inspection I can see the new adapter has a slight gold color to the USB plug, which intrigued to me to dig deeper. I plug both into my Windows PC and dig into device details the older device bought in the spring of this year reads a 5730, the newer one bought August shows 7601. From google I am able to discern that this means I have two different internal chip sets.
My point needing help is: Is there a way to get this adapter to work? Or do I have to play roulette and hope on getting another adapter that works?
There are Linux drivers for this adapter I am just not Pi experienced or OpenWRT experienced enough to do this on my own.
