  • I have "Comfast 917AC 2.4G+5GHz Performance Dual Band AC 1750Mbps Wireless N WIFI USB Adapter - Chipset RTL8814AU" = works great with the drivers above. – Rafał Myszkowski Jul 27 '18 at 16:35

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8814au.git
cd rtl8814au

Open dkms.conf with your preferred text editor, e.g.

nano dkms.conf

Replace line 1 MAKE="'make'" with

MAKE="'make' all KVER=${kernelver}"

save the file and and exit your text editor, then

cd ..
sudo dkms add ./rtl8814au
sudo dkms install rtl8814au/4.3.21

and reboot.
