Try https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 and see if it is any better update: I've still not followed that tutorial yet, but I don't think it's needed anymore because the dongle works, it's most likely the new subscription that I took that's garbage because the Wi-Fi that I have here where I ...

Does the wifi hotspot device actually use AndroidAP for a name? It is never detected by the wifi scan, is it on? yeah, that's its actual name :) As soon as I enable "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering" on the phone my PC automatically detects it (and even tries to connect to it automatically) a...

Because they are now considered legacy. When enough new models come out that people upgrade to the newer model, that means more of the older models are available. (Many people resell what they replace to recoup some of the cost of the newer model they bought.) makes sense.... Regarding the crashes,...

I've helped people get the data needed to RMA brand new components so brand new doesn't always guarantee it works as desired. yeah, but it's not normal. I've worked for a company that manufactured industrial electronic devices (well, I was doing SEO for that company, I am not technically-inclined e...

You could also see if booting into the 5.15 kernel instead of the 6.5 kernel helps. Or if booting into an older 6.5 kernel helps. oh yeah, now I remember... it was indeed one of these older kernels (either 5.15 or 5.16, I'm not sure which one) that used to prevent the crashes. But since I've instal...

Please provide your current system info. Did you try reverting to a Timeshift snapshot of when the crashes were not working to see if an update might be a factor in this situation? I didn't try timeshift, I'm not comfortable with backups, I've been using PCs for nearly 40 years and I never restored...

the crashes are back... they came back 2-3 weeks ago actually, but I have hoped they'd be a random, isolated case. But now they've intensified to the point that I can't go 30 minutes (sometimes not even 10 minutes) without them happening. If only I had money I would go and buy a new GPU right at thi...

here they are:

If AndroidAP is your mobile hotspot connection, change your IPv4 setting from shared to other computer to automatic. Shared to other computers is only used if you want to use the computer as the hotspot sharing it from the ethernet connection yes, AndroidAP is the mobile, but it still doesn't work....

How can I do it (the DNS field is greyed out)?

Hi, I just purchased a Wi-Fi dongle (the one in the title of this thread) so I can connect to internet via mobile hotspot because I need to move to a new location at which I won't be having internet for 3-6 months, so I need this hotspot thingy so I can do my usual stuff on the internet... Anyway, a...

There's a video that accompanies it too, and it's actually the most famous video on my YouTube channel, (at)CoculesNation.

I'll check it out tonight, thanks!

Hey thank you! I never even thought about looking for Myst. ( I'm a little slow some times ). Looks like I need to spend a little more time looking at game descriptions. I just got discouraged trying to find something that would fit my odd game type preferences. The sheer number of shoot 'em up and...

Firefox is the ONLY browser that I will use, it is simple to make it save to the Folder of your choice. FF downloads.jpg I unticked that setting, but it didn't do anything. I will most likely have to restart the browser or reboot the system, and this can take weeks knowing how I almost never do the...

System info looks good to me. A healthy setup. (I would question the need for such large swap area but this is unrelated to your current issue) Lutris: right click on game's banner --> Configure --> Runner options --> Wine version. If you are on the latest Lutris build, game would use by default la...
