Netgear A7000 not working in 20.04

Question

I have a Netgear A7000 WiFi adapter that worked perfect on Win10 (I have decided to move to Ubuntu permanently, yay!).

After installing the drivers for the adapter by doing this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8814au.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8814au 
sudo dkms build -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21
sudo dkms install -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21

the adapter still isn't even recognized as a USB device (there were no errors installing, then rebooted). It doesn't even light up on the adapter (I noticed it took a second to be turned on by Win10).

Here are things that may be important for this below:

lsusb output:

Thanks to anyone willing to help! I am still relatively new to Linux so I apologize for any frustration I cause.

UPDATE: Upon running

sudo apt install net-tools

the dongle is found on lsusb and dmesg! To be honest, I don't know why. Ubuntu still doesn't recognize it, though. I will try a reboot!
