I currently have an adaptor based on the RTL8188CUS, but ever since upgrading from Debian Jessie (not Raspbian) to Debian Stretch, I get high packet loss. Especially ARP packets - which are somewhat important.
Have you tried running the Jessie kernel with Stretch? The general aim (at least unofficially) is that you should be able to run a Debian system with a kernel from the previous or the next release. The Stretch kernel has many new security features. But the benefits of those features to a desktop PC (which you are presumably using as that's the main use case for a USB Wifi device) is smaller than for other situations. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
