Plugged both WiFi dongles. RTL8192CU is a 300 mbps 802.1n model sold under BOLSE. The RTL8811AU is a 600mbps 802.1ac model sold under Wide Tiger.
Neither are working but I see that the older model is recognized.

JeremyB, LM 18.3 is installed, updated, and working fine. Now I have ethernet but no WiFi (which I will fix later). The Realtek chip RTL8811AU does not have drivers for some Linux kernels, but there is a driver in the Ubuntu repository for a similar RTL chip which is supposed to work, and will try it later today. Also, there may be a 3rd party driver on github. Will post the results. Thanks for your help.

 sudo apt-get install dkms git build-essential
 git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
 cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
 sudo make -f Makefile.dkms install

Reboot and check BIOS/UEFI settings to make sure Secure Boot is disabled and it should work

jeremy8, unfortunately, this didn't work for me and apologize for the long delay in replying.
P.S: Secure Boot is always off.
