Add one more thing.
The LED light on USB WIFI dongle TP-LINK TP-WN726N 1.0 does not flash when insert it into Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2, but it does flash when inserted into x86_64 PC with Ubuntu 16.04 installed.

I think this is because of the fact that this specific dongle is not yet added to the driver's whitelist. I have the same card and added it to the driver source manually. It works then, but it seemed to have very marginal performance and not be very stable.
