If I restart the system, these will all function normally before the USB adapter is inserted.
#ASUS PCE AC56 ISSUES DRIVERS#
In this state, the Terminal will not respond to most commands (other than list) and neither software manager or upgrade drivers will load from the Menu.
#ASUS PCE AC56 ISSUES DRIVER#
However if I physically remove it, the driver remains loaded. However when I plug in the adapter it is not activated:Īfter re-starting I don't initially see 8812au listed when I request lsmod īut if I plug in the the adapter, then I do.
#ASUS PCE AC56 ISSUES INSTALL#
The install.sh file is now completing without causing the corruption problems I had originally:īelow is the conclusion at the end of the install.sh execution script and lsmod shows the 8812au driver (first line after lsmod) #Īuthentication requested for remove driver:Įrror: Module 8812au is not currently loadedĪuthentication requested for insert driver:Īuthentication requested for install driver: I've tried using the install.sh file (making it executable and then executing it) and also making/installing just the driver folder itself - no joy with either method. Update MAC/BB/RF parameters and mechanism to improve overall performance.īut I simply CANNOT get this driver loaded. It seems like the latest driver listed on the Asus site might address the issue I'm seeing with the limited range with the open-source driver However I have since found the Asus proprietary driver for Linux off the Asus web-site:

The original syntax per link above showed to download that specific driver file and how to load it: So I have a related question which may or not resolve the speed issue - how to install the Proprietary Asus driver module The 4.2.5 driver from the Asus site, which appears from the overview may address this performance issue, will not install. The 4.2.2 driver referenced above will successfully 'make' and install and fundamentally work however unless within immediate close-proximity, line-of-sight to router, the performance will be severely compromised. I know its not my ISP or my adapter itself - something is choking it in Ubuntu I only get about 1.3 Mbps on this adapter 20Mbs on the internal adapter I get over 50 Mbps in Windows.

The same device in the same physical location running under windows is flawless.ġ) AC56 vs internal adapter performs much slower when both at same physical location removed from direct line of sight of routerĢ) In the same physical location, the AC56 performs much worse under Linux than Windows Now - I found however, that if I am in direct line of sight of the router, the speed comes up to normal - so somehow it appears there is potentially less power to the device, which is affecting its range? The Bad news - compared to the internal adapter the measured download speed (using a browser speedtest) is only about 7Mbps vs 40Mbps (7 at best and EXTREMELY sensitive to position) The Good news - again that install completes and sees the USB adapter and allows it to connect to my router Installed the driver I indicated in the original post from the rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-master package (this is a revision 4.2.2 driver): Unlike the original requester the instruction provided by chili555 (sorta) works* for me, even on USB2.0 port How do I install an ASUS USB-AC56 WiFi adapter?
