Thank you, it works flawless on my ubuntu 20.04.

 

But after restart the Wifi is not available anymore.

 

How to make it work after restart? Making it avaiable at startup...

@BBiswas Hey!

 

I had the same problem, check out Jags solution on Ask Ubuntu under Proper Way of Installing Wifi Drivers.

For convenience, I'll repost it here, because I can't seem to attach the link, but I take no credit for the following solution or the github repo. Make sure the adapter is unplugged, and tether to a phone or connect to ethernet. In terminal, do:

 

 
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git
cd rtl88x2bu
VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf)
sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER}
sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo modprobe 88x2bu

 

Hope this helped and cheers,

Monkey D. Luffy

 

 

 

Thank you

It works but the speed I get is around 40 Mbps which is considerably lower than the 220 Mbps I get if I use my usb tethering on my phone to connect to the same wifi.

hello@futureishere you could start a new thread for speed concern, at the same time you could try to ajust some wfi settings on router like Channel and channel width 80Mhz for 5Ghz, 40Mhz for 2.4Ghz

Hey @MonkeyDLuffy,

Thank you so very much for sharing the proper solution, this solution worked for my Ubuntu 20.04 where I was trying to get TP-Link AC1300(Archer T3U Plus) to work, for some reason originally my system only supported TP-LINK N300-mini USB but now both my Wifi dongles work
