(SOLVED)No wifi with RTL8811AU

[Rickf1985]

As I said in the title I have no Wifi with the RTL8811AU USB reciever. I found a thread that covers this to the letter but when I tried to run the code I get to the last line and the password asked for is not accepted. Here is the thread I am referring to.

I am very new to this linux world so I am writing this on my windows computer as my linux box sits next to me.

I don't know what might be happening as the first command requires a password also and it would be the password you set when Mint was installed

The commands from this post viewtopic.php?f=53&t=276910#p1522292

[Rickf1985]

It says password for https://cd 18812AU_8821AU_Linux@github.com. When I put in the next line of script it came back with invalid username or password

[Rickf1985]

I hope I did the code thing right here. I have moved over to the linux computer so I am on the same machine as the problem. It is wired LAN at the moment.

Ok, I moved over to this machine and copy and pasted the commands and they all went in so I will reboot and see what happens.

[JeremyB]

Use

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git

Everything is case sensitive in linux and you are using git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rt18812_8821AU_Linux.git the capital L on Linux is causing the issue

If you ever see a request for username and password from a git clone command, it usually means a typo was made

[Rickf1985]

Aha, got it. It is now working but not very well. The machine is literally 2 feet from the Comcast router and I only have a 75% signal on 2.4 Hz and I keep losing 5 Hz. I am guessing that has nothing to do with the Linux. And I want to ask now since I also have a sound issue that I will be going to that forum for but did I get the code pasted correctly? It looks to me like it took to much space? I copy and pasted between the </> marks.
