I tried an Asus router and it would not connect via hotspot or when tethered. If I can turn the desktop into a router I might find a work around on the one device restriction my carrier has on the phone.

I have a unique phone service that allows me only one tethered or hotspot connection. I have no options for any other internet other than my phone. I have a dedicated phone for my home internet. I want to use the tethered connection that I use for my desktop computer that has Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia ...

I'm running 19.2 mate and EasyTether Pro with success. I want to hotspot my computer to share this connection. I looked in network connections and don't see a hotspot option.

When I follow these directions to turn my internet connection into a hotspot.

It did not work.

My phone is a Samsung S8. I can tether and hotspot with my phone. I am limited to one connection by my carrier. I can not connect to a router like Asus, been their tried that.. The carrier has somehow blocked that. I'm using EasyTether because it works around the restrictions of the Hotspot/ Tether ...

I got EasyTether to work on the computer. Trying to follow the instructions from your link How to create a wifi hotspot with USB Dongle? : linuxmint https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comm ... sb_dongle/ it says the following: Connected the computer to my phone via USB tethering. Settings >network >...

My plan gives me true unlimited data on the phone with no throttling. My Hotspot is throttled to 5mbps plus I can only connect one device to it at a time. I tried tethering to an Asus AC68U and the SIM card would not allow the internet to work. It stumped ASUS tech support. The reason I was requesti...

I am aware of the USB tethering to a router. I tried an Asus router and my carrier is blocking tethering to a router, but not blocking tethering to a computer. They also are blocking me from Hot Spotting to more than one device at a time. This is why I am seeking help to tether in the method I have ...

Im trying to bridge my phone that is USB tethered to my Linux Mint 19.2 desktop and my Archer C2300 router so that I can share my internet connections to other devices in the house. My phone is the only internet we can get.

Awesomeness!!!! Thanks for your help. It WORKS!!!!

Try this sudo apt install git dkms git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959.git cd rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959 VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf) sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-$...

Not quite sure what to do with all the info on that page. I can understand sleeper12's instructions (even though they were for wrong kernel). Unless I'm wrong again, I'd assume you do this: cd rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959 VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/...

I found this on a Ubuntu forum if you want to try it. You really ought to check things before you post them. Those instructions are for an older version that doesn't support the current kernels. The OP should use: https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-595...

I can't figure out how to get the Linux drivers to install (CD) so that I can get my USB Wi-Fi adaptor working on my 19.2 64-bit Xfce laptop. I was hoping the new 19.2 would have the drivers. It is a Techkey AC-1200 Wi-Fi adaptor. I have tried plugging the adaptor in different USB ports.

When I want to copy files from one location to another and use "Copy To" I only have the choice of "Home Folder" and "Desktop". I have Linux Mint on the laptop at our cabin and it gives me lots of choices to copy files to, including my USB drives. How do I fix this. Running Linux Mint 19.2 Tina on t...

Just installed LM on my computer with a brand new Western Digital 8TB Red Pro NAS drive. Everything is working good but I can't access the hard drive. I get a "Unable to mount location" message.

Everything was working fine. I seem to recall changing so that it would skip the log in method. All Im sure of is that I have not been able to use Linux Mint for a few months on my Windows Vista/ Linux Mint 16 laptop. When it boots up I get this message "Could not update ICEauthority file" I need a ...

I'm a green horn. So what do I need to do to get Griffith to work at this point?

Running 16 32 bit

I even removed the package and installed an older version .13-1 with the same results.
