[ SOLVED ] Alfa Network AWUS036ACH

[DeepThought]

You don't mention it, so I ask, did you reboot after installing the driver ?

The above link shows what you did worked for ubuntu 17.04 so no real reason why it shouldn't work for you after a reboot.

Hello,

I am trying to get this dual band Alfa Network wifi adapter working.
So far I have done -

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
The adapter light has not came on, and it has not found any routers.

Code: [Select]

iwconfigsays no wireless devices are connected to the computer.
LinSSID also will not open saying there are no wireless devices connected.

I have then tested both of the USB ports I am using with -
AWUS036h
AWUS036NHA
Also with 3 dongles one regular, one mini, and one micro dongle.These use different drivers, and they don't all use the same drivers.
I have also tested these in LinSSID and they all work fine.
I need to determine if the device is faulty (as it is a new arrival), and if it is not faulty to learn how to get it working.
