I have bought ASUS USB-AC53 Nano wifi adapter, and am trying to make it work on Ubuntu. So far I have tried all possible steps I found on the google. I have used drivers from these repos:

  1. https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu
  2. https://github.com/EntropicEffect/rtl8822bu

Both were built and installed successfully, and usb adapter was recognized. However, when I try to connect to my wifi network and enter password, it writes that connection has failed and asks for password again.

I have seen a similar topic from a year ago: T4U V3 (8822bu) drivers installed on ubuntu 18.04, but cannot connect. Keeps asking password However partial solution listed in that topic does not work for me.

Could someone suggest how to debug\fix this issue?

Here is some info:

uname -r -v

lsusb | grep -i asus

I do have this line in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

[device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

My router:

  • 2.4 GHz only
  • Fixed channel 7
  • Fixed channel bandwidth on 20MHz.

  • Before anything else check your router settings: WPA2-AES is preferred, not any WPA/WPA2 mixed mode and certainly not TKIP. – ChanganAuto Apr 20 '21 at 22:16
  • @ChanganAuto thank you for the suggestion, I did set it to WPA2-AES, but that did not help. I have also tried to connect to my mobile phone's WiFi Hotspot, but that has the same issue of always asking for password and not connecting. – kknd Apr 21 '21 at 08:55

  • @chris thanks for the suggestion, I have tried this one as well, and it did not work. I ended up returning this wifi adapter. – kknd Sep 23 '21 at 07:58
