  • Why do you want to replace the driver? Is there any problem with the one that was installed automatically? – Tilman Feb 13 '24 at 08:33
  • yes its way too slow than windows – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 08:33
  • Where did the content of ~/Documents/rtl8188eu come from? Was it advertised as a driver for your TL-WN727N device? Did it come with installation instructions? Did you follow them? At which point of them did you encounter a problem? – Tilman Feb 13 '24 at 08:47
  • i tried company's tutorial and other users tutorial which had same problem and it worked for them but they had older ubuntu versions. – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 08:49
  • does anyone have idea how to fix it? – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 13:12
  • The driver for your device is rt2800usb. Compiling and installing rtl8188eu will do nothing at all. I suggest that you look elsewhere, such as the router settings. Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal command: nmcli device wifi list Only show your router and redact the SSID with XXXX. – chili555 Feb 13 '24 at 14:40
  • first of all thanks for commenting. so i have TL-WN727N adapter and my pc automatically downloaded some ralink drivers rt2800usb , when i was trying to install the tplink driver i found out that my kernel version is newer and doesnt support that software so any idea how i can install it without going back to old kernel or how should i change it back to old kernel either idk elaborate – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 15:24
  • The driver you are trying to install rtl8188eu, is wrong for your device. It won't work. Ever. Since it won't load and drive your device, it can't and won't make it faster. – chili555 Feb 13 '24 at 16:26
  • then what should i do doctor? is there anything i can do? – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 16:27
  • but the adapter resets every 2 seconds and refreshes . – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 16:30
  • and starts searching for network – Kr1ner Feb 13 '24 at 16:31
  • Let's see a complete diagnostic report, please: https://askubuntu.com/questions/425155/my-wireless-wifi-connection-does-not-work-what-information-is-needed-to-diagnos/425180#425180 – chili555 Feb 13 '24 at 16:32
  • It sounds like you may have a power issue on USB if the adapter "refreshes" – Jeremy31 Feb 14 '24 at 23:32
