Irecently got a wireless adapter (TP-Link Archer T2UH V1). After plugging it in, I found out that the drivers for Linux are not native on Ubuntu. They do, however, have the drivers available for download (in the form of compilable/ makefile). What I am not sure of is how to install these drivers. I know that I need to build the drivers, place things where they need to be, and tie things together with the kernel. I am not sure how to do this, however, and need some help.
I have a TP-Link T2U Wi-Fi adapter and I was in struggle to find a working driver for Ubuntu 18.10. All the drivers, original and modified, was for previous version of the kernel but nothing useful for the 4.15 kernel. After a painful morning I found a working link to run the TP-Link T2U on the latest kernel.
After these steps the device should work. If you want the driver to work after the updating the kernel I advise to follow the next steps that includes the dkms utility. You will need to work in the directory "mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes" otherwise the process will not work.
my pavilion g6 laptop's wifi adapter hasn't been working correcty recently. my internet router and networks are running fine as they should be, but every time i reboot my laptop, it keeps saying that there is no connection and no other wifi netowrks, when there clearly is other networks because of my surrounding neighbours.
These ralink adapters are plain ol' sh*t. I'm not sure if this will be a complete fix for you, but I've been wresting with my network adapter for months and this has proven to be the most effective for my computer. I have an HP Envy fortunate enough to be equipped with a Ralink RT3290, running windows 8.
Out of the box, my comp was working fine and it connected to the network OK. As soon as I moved further away from the router, I experienced constant drop outs, and the connection would always flounder between low signal strength, to completely disconnecting itself from the router, where I had to manually re-connect it. A really frustrating issue at that. I use my computer on the top level of my house, and the router is at the basement. So I was getting sick of it fast. Driver update after driver update, no luck. After trying everything under the sun, I decided I would bite the bullet and I tried something a little unorthodox...
I simply uninstalled the driver from my comp. Yes, really. When a component on your comp has it's driver stripped, Windows software has a few drivers that will install by default for your hardware so that it can remain functional on your computer. So, once removing the ralink driver from my computer, windows installed it's default driver for my network adapter and... Voila! My connection problems are practically non-existant at this point. The hardware is still not the best but I can at least browse the net in my room without my connection experiencing constant dropping out.
Now, other than the wireless button light stuck with an orange glow, and device manager listing my network card as #10, I am still using this driver with minimal issues. Occasionally, it will forget the connection once I awaken the laptop from sleep, but this issue was much, much worse with the ralink drivers than without.
If you are fully aware of the risk involved (which is little, to be realistic, this can always be undone & you can always re-install the ralink drivers if this deosn't prove to be an effective solution), I will explain in detail how I managed to do this.
4) - A popup should appear and you should be given the option to proceed with the uninstall or cancel it. Make sure to check the "delete driver software for this device" before you proceed or else windows will re-install the ralink driver.
- If you have a ralink driver installer that's newer or equal to the driver already installed, you can run the installer to remove any leftover driver software that is usually overlooked by device manager when uninstalling it from your computer
- Optionally, you can check C:\Windows\System32\Drivers for any potential leftover driver files. It is important to check for any leftovers that device manager/the ralink installer may have missed because it can potentially conflict with the alternate default windows WLAN driver. the drivers should have an abbreviated name of your adapter (ex. rt3298.sys); they shouldn't be hard to find. Be careful as well; IT IS WISE TO ALWAYS BACK UP ANY DRIVER SOFTWARE YOU MAY BE REMOVING IN CASE YOU MAKE A MISTAKE.
I hope this is of any help to you. People who know nothing about what they're talking about will tell you to install the latest driver and yatta yatta yatta well since that didn't work I had to take the liberty of trying to find a fix for these accursed adapters myself. I hope this somewhat helps your issue!
I have been having the same problem! It's extremely frustrating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Ralink RT5390 Wi-Fi Adapter a dozen times. It will work for a little while and then it drops off.
forget the solution here as i did try that a couple of times and it didnt work. how i fixed mine was by doing a whole factory reset. i did that cos at the time, i had the BSOD so a factory reset was the only option for me.
My WiFi driver - Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter - fails frequently and the problem is not resolved by deleting and reinstalling the driver. It stil has the same problem. Each time it quits working, I have to "disable" the driver and then "enable" it again to get it to work with my WiFi or restart my HP laptop to get it to work. Seeing all the other responses to this problem should be a serious FLAG to HP and RALINK. This problem seems to persist throughout the PC world where the driver is being used. FIX IT PERMANENTLY!
Hi Paul Please excuse me butting in but my posts are not being answered. Is the link specific to the PC in question or do you think it might work for me. I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a Ralink RT5390 WiFi adaptor. My router is fine because my phone connects with no problem. I have tried everything I have seen suggested in other posts including updating the bios. I uninstalled the adaptor, deleting the driver but Windows still found a Ralink driver and I still can't connect. I should say that the network is visible, I just can't connect to it.
I understand you're unable to get an appropriate driver for the Ralink RT5390 WiFi adapter. According to the manufacturer of that adapter you should be able to download and use the one from the link below:
Thank you for trying to help but the link leads to a page which says 'HP was unable to find the page you wanted.' I tried the advice above as well but Windows couldn't find a driver so obviously doesn't have a generic driver for it. I'm back to square one.
