Linux : How to install driver for 600Mbps Dual Band Wifi USB Adapter
Bought this 600Mbps Dual Band 2.4G / 5G Hz Wireless Lan USB PC WiFi Adapter 802.11AC from Lazada and found out that the accompanying CD-ROM does not provide ANY DRIVER AT ALL for Linux. There are two folders under the /Linux directory, but the trouble is that under the both /driver directories ... there is no single file to execute or view at all. This explained why attempts to execute the ./install.sh script will fail.
Fortunately, the names of the directories provided clue to which the hardware chipset is and after Googling for RTL8821CU, I found this driver on github.com.
https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU
Follow the instructions at https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU and it should install the driver for your Linux box. You may need to reboot after installation to get the driver working.
Hope this helps!
