I have tried bits and pieces of EVERYTHING. I have ZERO clue what I am doing and am not sure what I have done so far. I need help with downloading the drivers and setting up my N300 for Ubuntu. Please help.

    What is the output of the wireless info script from here? – Andrew Tapia Nov 23 '16 at 05:50
  • Can you explain what that is and how I do that? I'm new to Ubuntu. – W. Davis Nov 23 '16 at 14:14
  • The top answer explains it pretty clearly. Open a Terminal somehow (possibly using Ctrl+Alt+T), then do wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info, followed by chmod +x wireless-info, and, finally, ./wireless-info. This should create a file called wireless-info.txt. We need the contents of that text file, so you can paste it here or in a pastebin. – Andrew Tapia Nov 23 '16 at 14:22
  • It says "resolving github.com (github.com) ... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution. wget: unable to resolve host address 'github.com' after the first command – W. Davis Nov 23 '16 at 14:32
  • The wget requires an internet connection. Is the computer on which you are executing these commands connected to the internet? – Andrew Tapia Nov 23 '16 at 14:46
  • http://pastebin.com/7D9UfXbf think I did this right? – W. Davis Nov 23 '16 at 15:31
  • Or maybe this way http://pastebin.com/9bu6ekwS – W. Davis Nov 23 '16 at 15:34
  • You can trust chili555 on this ;) – Rinzwind Nov 23 '16 at 18:07

I regret that there is no way to get your 0846:9020 device reliably working. In fact, I actually own one and have tried many times and in many ways to get it to work properly. This thread explains the process and details the several failures: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2264020

I suggest that you look instead for any one of several fully supported devices. Although there are many others, I have and can recommend the TP-Link TL-WN722N.
