Can't get Netgear WNDA3100v3 wifi adapter to work

[thisshouldwork]

Using LMDE 4 Debbie 64bit

To preface here, I'm new to Linux and I came from Windows 10. So I did the dual-boot and now I have Win10 and LMDE Debbie. I was under the impression that Linux distributions will install most of the drivers in a pretty intuitive way so I was disappointed when my wifi adapter wasn't working. I found a solution that sort of worked which was:

It is a Mediatek, see https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210
You can use Windows to download https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgea ... master.zip
Put it on the Linux Mint desktop, right click on file, choose extract here, then in terminal

Code: Select all

cd Desktop/Netgear-A6210-master

Code: Select all

make

Code: Select all

sudo make install

Reboot

and then I followed from the readme

## DKMS Install

On Debian-based distros, you can add the module to DKMS so it will automatically
build and install on each successive kernel upgrade. To do this, issue the following
commands from within the repo's folder:

Code: Select all

	$ cd ..
	$ sudo mv Netgear-A6210/ /usr/src/netgear-a6210-2.5.0
	$ sudo dkms install netgear-a6210/2.5.0

So when I did the DKMS install, and I rebooted, the wifi adapter worked with a weak signal, and then 5 minutes later it stopped. I attempted to reboot after that and I was left with a grey screen and the only way to get off of it was to hold the power button down for 5 seconds. So ultimately, it's just not working and I'm not sure where to go from here. Thanks
