How to install Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 Wireless USB with no internet (no ethernet)

**psychedelicwonders2** · April 15th, 2016

Ok so after a restart the adapter didn't start up again and I ran all the code you suggested, but it didn't seem to activate it?

Code:

psychwonders@MainStation:~$ lsmod | grep 8812
8812au                991232  0
psychwonders@MainStation:~$ sudo modprobe 8812au
[sudo] password for psychwonders: 
psychwonders@MainStation:~$ sudo -i
root@MainStation:~# echo 8812au  >>  /etc/modules
root@MainStation:~# ^C

Seems something isn't right is it?

Hello Guys,

I have a similar AC600 dual band adaptor and the below set of commands was working fine until I've switched to ubuntu 16.1.
My assumption is that this is something with the new version of Kernel, but I am no expert and I need somebody's help to figure this one out.
When I run the last command nothing happens.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git
cd ~/rtl8812au
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

I think something is wrong because of the following:

Code:

~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-> ndiswrapper -l
autorun : invalid driver!
netrtwlanu : driver installed
    device (0BDA:A811) present (alternate driver: 8812au)
netrtwlanu_xp : invalid driver!
rtlbt : invalid driver!

Can you please help me with a solution?

Please try this:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge ndiswrapper-common
sudo apt-get purge ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Reboot.

You don't want or need ndiswrapper if you are using the preferable native driver 8812au.

You are trying to compile mt7601u. The subject of this thread is the very different 8812au. Please start your own new thread.

By the way, mt7601u is included by default in kernel versions 4.4 and later. Consider upgrading.

I've been having trouble with proprietary and gnab's (worked intermittently only) - the only one that worked reliably for me (even after restart) is abperiasamy's:

https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

As per README.md):
Download, extract, cd into dir, make clean, make, make install, reboot.
(following the instructions at the top for the DKMS install did not work for me - no compile errors or anything, just the adapter won't start / blue light won't turn on / ifconfig won't list it)

The thing I'm struggling though now is using this adapter in AP mode with a wired connection to the cable modem - I followed various guides, using command line and GUI methods, so far no joy

Any link to a working and up-to-date guide for running this adapter in AP mode for Ubuntu 16.04.1 would be much appreciated!

Not all devices support AP mode. What does this report?

Code:

iw list

My Intel says:

Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
* P2P-device

I didn't get an email that you had responded... I'm now subscribed to this thread and I'll get an email (hopefully)
