Now - I found that if I am in direct line of sight of the router, the speed comes up to normal - so somehow it appears there is potentially less power to the device, which is affecting its range? The same device in the same physical location running under windows is flawless.ġ) AC56 vs internal adapter performs much slower when both at same physical location removed from direct line of sight of routerĢ) In the same physical location, the AC56 performs much worse under Linux than Windows (* and actually much lower - found extremely sensitive to physical position) The Bad news - compared to the internal adapter the measured download speed (using a browser speedtest) is only about 7Mbps* vs 40Mbps The Good news - that install completes and sees the USB adapter and allows it to connect to my router

So I went back to the Realtek package and install I indicated in the original post from the rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-master package: Ultimately I ended up completely re-installing Mint It went through a long process in Terminal and eventually just stopped:Īfter, not only was it not recognizing the new adapter, it completely corrupted my file system.Įven opening the 'home' folder it was just completely blank & would lock

So expect to load this via the terminal - but what commands do I need?Īpparently uses same chipset as the Asus adapter I thought somehow could use the Driver Manager but that content is just blank I downloaded the Asus proprietary driver package for Linux from here but not clear on how to actually install this. This question relates to loading Proprietary driver package, in this case for an Asus AC56 USB Wireless Adapter (which I believe is Realtek based - apparently 8812au driver) Much of Mint is very intuitive - great job!īut as said still very much a rookie when working in the Terminal I'm doing my 'learning' on a notebook, in advance of building an HTPC and plan to use this platform. Hello - newbie here - quite a rookie with Linux in general but after initially trying cinnamon over Ubuntu, I like the way it 'feels' and installed complete Mint 16 Petra package.
