Hi cagapiou,
USB dongle issues are strictly connected to devices and their manufacturers… however, you can try with this Raspberry PI USB dongle troubleshooting guide:

Hope this can help

Hi Mohamed,
DietPI creates a new network for your devices and routes it from its WAN addess (your router wired interface) adding NAT service. You can add services to make your PI network secure and expand your services by simply installing them.

I have to ask, does this make a private network broadcast from the Pi or is it like a bridged/extended AP? For instance would it make a secure AP in a public Wifi like OpenWRT?

Hi Dan. It is AP full mode: DietPi does all the DHCP and IP routing automatically during installation (see here https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/blob/70586d247d3c27b3852dbcbe52b11c2e69b22619/dietpi/dietpi-software#L9671-L9759). Thank you

Hi Dan. Honestly I don’t remember if DietPi Wifi Hotspot creates a new DHCP range valid inside the its new Wireless network. If so, it automatically installs all needed networking tools. I’m going to check next week because this one I’m in holidays far from home 🙂

This sets an AP full mode, or an AP in bridge mode? I ask since i didn’t see you dealing with DHCP servers, DNSMasq, and all the other details that usually are delt with a full AP installation in Linux.
