I'd like to use a Wi-Fi adapter TP-Link TL-WN722N V2 but it's not detected by my laptop.
I downloaded the driver here: www.tp-link.com/us/download/TL-WN722N_V2.html#Driver but I am stuck. It seems that I cannot compile the driver to install it.
I tried this method: viewtopic.php?t=250469 and now although the Wi-Fi adapter is lit up and detect some Wi-Fi network it does not work properly, as I think it detects only TP-Link products near by me.

In those results, it is the internal Intel wireless that is connected, the USB wifi seems to have very weak reception, so I would just use the internal adapter. It seems that UFW is blocking some multicast traffic but it might not be critical
I Know, the internal Intel wireless is connected and it's working BUT I want the USB Wi-Fi adapter TP-Link TL-WN722N I just bought to work.
A I said in my first post, I think I have not managed to compile the driver properly in order to install it.
I disconnected the firewall but it did not change anything.
cd rtl8188eu
sudo make uninstall
cd ~
rm -rf rtl8188eu
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8188eu.git
cd rtl8188eu
make
sudo make install
Reboot and see if it works better. I think Pjotr thought it was an improvement but most of the work I did a couple years ago and you are using kernel 4.4 so it might help

Hi Jeremy,
Previously I had tried to install this one: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git, which is the original one (I think), but the process was stuck somewhere in the middle. I followed your advice and this time it worked with yours. Thank you very much.
