This video covers the process for installing the necessary drivers for the AC600 Mbps Dual Band 2.4/5Ghz wireless USB WiFi Network Adapter shown in the title thumbnail. The exact process is as follows:
1. verify the device driver:
run- sudo apt install net-tools
With the dongle UNPLUGGED, run- lsusb (lists usb devices) .
Then, PLUG IN the dongle and again run- lsusb
The device should be listed as: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
*(If your device lists a different output, then a different driver would be required, though, possibly through the same process. Search ‘wifi driver’ and your driver ID.)
2. Download and install the driver:
*(If the device does not have internet access prior to this installation, then the same git repo and .deb dependencies would need manually copied to the device.)
run-
mkdir wifidrivers && cd wifidrivers
git clone https: github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git (fix the // in the link)
cd rtl8821CU/
chmod +x dkms-install.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Unplug and Re-Plug in the dongle (OR run- sudo modprobe 8821cu)
