A few months ago, this worked on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. But I'm on a new install of Ubuntu 20.04 and the instructions changed.

Important!

8814au chipset support is turned off. 8814au got itself a new, standalone driver in this link below

You should update this driver and compile/install one more time to ensure the 8814au chipset kernel module collides with the newer driver. If your planning to use them both in the same time.

https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au

I head over to https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au

And there are many instructions and I cannot tell if I'm supposed to follow all of them or be able to pick and choose which ones I need.

Can somebody please advise?

This is the device: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Networking/USB-AC68/

Edit: @Jeremy's answer works perfectly but now as I'm trying to install other applications, I'm seeing an error on every install although the target application seems to work fine

  • I was almost there, just did not reboot but also installed a few other things while experimenting that I'm hoping will not lead to problems later. – mLstudent33 Dec 24 '20 at 21:58
  • saved me a second time on a fresh install :) – mLstudent33 Feb 06 '21 at 06:47

  • It was working fine and then one day all of a sudden it does not work, no light on device. Works on Windows 10 so it's not the device. I was toggling the on/off of internal wifi adpater with this though: https://askubuntu.com/a/168046/806813 – mLstudent33 Feb 11 '22 at 19:42
  • I checked here for Ubuntu install instructions: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au/blob/v5.8.5.1/README.md but get error on second line: error: cannot open file debian/changelog: No such file or directory – mLstudent33 Feb 11 '22 at 20:00
  • In terminal do cd /usr/src/realtek-rtl8814au-5.8.5.1/os_dep/linux && sudo mv recv_linux.c && sudo wget https://gitlab.com/jeremy53561/rtl8814au-fix/-/raw/main/recv_linux.c That should fix the compile issue, then do sudo dkms install realtek-rtl8814au/5.8.5.1 -k $(uname -r) reboot – Jeremy31 Feb 12 '22 at 13:09

  • I'm trying here: https://github.com/morrownr/8814au but unsure if I'm doing this right. – mLstudent33 Feb 12 '22 at 17:46
  • Did you already remove the version from the aircrack-ng github repo? It seems that the morrownr version does compile on 5.13 – Jeremy31 Feb 12 '22 at 17:56
  • I did not remove the aircrack-ng but rather just installed the morrownr version and it is working now. Can I remove aircrack-ng or should I just leave it as it is? – mLstudent33 Feb 12 '22 at 18:01
  • It died again. What do I do? – mLstudent33 Feb 14 '22 at 19:38
  • Start a new question, be sure to include the URL from terminal after running the 2 commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/a2bee9856d8c13f42f1835bc31bf9480 – Jeremy31 Feb 14 '22 at 23:37
  • Changing the USB port to which I am attaching the WiFI adapter "fixed" it for the moment. I have these 3.1 or 3.2 USB Next Gen ports and one that is plain vanilla 3.0 which I'm using now. – mLstudent33 Feb 15 '22 at 00:05
