Hello Cybernetic,

maybe the problem is, that you have two wireless driver loaded: rtl8192cu and rtl8xxxu

You could try blacklisting the rtl8xxxu in the terminal:

Code: Select all

echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu.conf
Then reboot and see what happens.

(If it doesn't work, you can undo the blacklisting by deleting the rtl8xxxu.conf file in the file manager nemo: go to the folder /etc/modprobe.d/ and right-click on it > open as administrator and delete it)

The blacklisting doesn't work with the live system. You can try to unload the modul with:

Code: Select all

sudo rmmod rtl8xxxu
See, if it changes the behaviour. If not, load it again with:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe rtl8xxxu
Then you could try the same with the other module rtl8192cu:

Code: Select all

sudo rmmod rtl8192cu
See, if it changes the behaviour. If not, load it again with:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe rtl8192cu

You can try to install 8192cu driver with following commands.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rtl8192cu-dkms 
After reboot your PC. You must disable secureboot from BIOS/EFI settings.

Hello Cybernetic,

I think, that is a good decision, because your USB adapter is known to be difficult with linux. Here is a website with recommendations, maybe it helps you:
