I have tried to install an AC1200 Wifi adapterfrom dootoper I bought from Amazon. Got the driver from this github https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au
This works every time I install it.. I did this a few times because of every time an update is installed the wifi adapter stops working.
I have an old wifi adapter which isn't that fast like the new one, so I switch sometimes to the old one.
I have this installed thru a usb extra cable to have a better signal same as the new one.
The cables are different: one is a usb3 highspeed extension cable, the other an old usb 2 extension cable.
The funny thing I now found out is, that the new AC1200 Wifi adapter always works with the old cable every time!

The repo you link is for the rtl8812au chipset, where as the A6150 has the rtl8812bu chipset. Are you sure that it will work despite this? Can you be more specific on the wifi adapter that you bought? – Toke Faurby Sep 06 '20 at 14:45
