I just bought a USB-AC56 Asus dual-band wirless-ac 1300 adapter. It works out of the box for Windows. But on Ubuntu you need to install the drivers.
the output of lsusb relevant to the adapter:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:17d2 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-AC56 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8812AU] I was told by Asus to use the following: . How do I install the drivers? Asus gives no further instructions besides the link nor a way to uninstall.
I also read that the following github project might work better:
Are these drivers better? Are they even the right one? I don't want to install something that I cannot undo. Does anyone know how to uninstall the dkms package?
Is this correct?
$ DRV_NAME=rtl8812AU $ DRV_VERSION=4.3.20 $ sudo dkms remove ${DRV_NAME}/${DRV_VERSION} --all Please help verify what needs to be done for us all!

I believe the best method is to obtain an internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, open a terminal and do:
sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential git dkms git clone cd rtl8812au sudo make dkms_install sudo modprobe 88XXau Your wireless should now be working.
