Downloadingthe ZIP file with everything we can conclude the chipset for which the driver is provided is Realtek RTL8821AU and yes, it must be listed with lsusb, you probably didn't see it or didn't recognized it.

You may try the manufacturer provide driver with its specific instructions. In a nutshell cd into the extracted folder and runinstall.sh. OR, probably better, follow the instructions here for installing an more up-to-date version of the driver:


Many USB wifi adapters simply do not support Linux and will not work with Linux. Many will work as long as you can find a valid driver and are able to successfully install the driver. However, if you upgrade your Linux kernel, there is no guarantee that the driver will continue to work and there is no guarantee that an updated driver will ever become available. You can read more about the drama here: -WiFi


I am using Kali Linux on my laptop and my laptop's internal Wi-Fi adapter is not working, so I have an external USB adapter. Now after the installation I plug my Wi-Fi adapter and Linux is not showing it and I also don't know how to install its driver so help me what should I do in this situation.


Again, I suggest following the Arch wiki - Wireless network configuration, which provides a fantastic way to solve your issue. This goes for general Linux issues as well. It is very easy to follow and it is aimed at beginners and proficient users alike.


Is there a way to load the driver for this USB WIFI adapter during Arch install? I am new to linux but have Linux Mint installed on one of my drives and I wish to try Arch on another drive for testing.


Iwctl might just not list devices because the driver uses an older interface rather than the new one, check with wpa_supplicant/nmcli - check dmesg/lsusb -t whether really no driver is loaded or the one that is loaded simply doesn't work with iwctl.


I recently got an Archer T6E 1300AC and I'm having trouble connecting to my 5GHz network. My router is providing 2.4GHz as well as 5Ghz access. When I disable 2.4GHz, the card connects to the 5GHz network just fine, I'm struggling however to force it to use 5GHz when both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are enable (I cannot permanently disabel 2.4GHz as there are other devices relying on it). I'm using Win 10 64-bit Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362.


I ended up installing the Broadcom 4360 drivers or 43xx for Windows 10 from a 3rd party site, driver-wireless.com. Once installed, look under the Advanced tab in the Device Manager properties for the card, there is an option for "Band Preference". I set that to 'Prefer 802.11a' instead of 'None' and it instantly connected to my 5 Ghz network. Thinking they meant 802.11ac... 'a' is very old standard.


I am using the latest driver I can find: Broadcom BCM4352 v7.35.336.0 driver (dated 7 dec 2015), found somewhere on Microsoft Windows Catalog web page. Probably the same as you are referring to. Still, no option in the network adapter driver advanced settings to select 'Preferred Band' and put it on 5Ghz...


I was having issue reaching my 5GHz network. 2.4GHz was working fine. Got to the solution, so I decided to register and post my solution here, this way other people can try it and maybe get it fixed too!


I tried so many drivers and so many settings without success. In the end I found out that the Archer T6e on Windows 10 will only work on certain channels for 5GHz connections (at least on my experience).


It worked for me with the Broadcom 43xx driver which I downloaded from driver-wireless.com, but I believe it would also work with the other drivers, and that the problem is actually the channel compatibility. I didn't change the settings at all.


Bonus: I downloaded the "Wifi Analyzer" app on my phone (Android) so I could see a channel that wouldn't be already taken by a neighbor's network, despite knowing that 5GHz networks from my neighbors wouldn't probably go far enough to make any interference.


What I did was to open the usb by removing the orange plastic from above, you have to pull it up, it will break, no problem. (before opening it you have to remove the part of the antenna, once open, you have to clean the board with isopropyl alcohol, if you see something like it is unclean or a sticker residual take it off with a kind of screwdriver you have to scrape it gently and then clean everything with a brush and isopropyl alcohol. After that, when the board is dry, you have to connect the usb to the antenna and then to the pc. It will detect the usb and install the driver, (I have windows 10) In the driver options you have to select " do not allow this adapter to go to sleep" or something like that, it goes with a check that must be unchecked. That was it, I hope it helps. I looked everywhere and it was a hardware problem
