I downloaded a set of drivers from the tp-link website here: https://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WN881ND.html#Driver But I do not understand how to install. Can anyone help please?Your usual complete lack of information makes this a guessing game chief. Distro/kernel/logs/steps taken so far...? That being said here a couple of links for you: https://static.tp-link.com/1910012142_TL-WN881ND_V2_UG.pdf [official 'documentation' - check p12-13 for a laugh* https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info [script to provide detailed wifi info if you can't fix it] https://github.com/luckynzm/tlwn8200nddriver [this is probably your best bet for the install] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1078953/drivers-for-tp-link-tl-wn8200nd-v2 [specific steps utilising the link above on 18.04 for reference] To be honest you didn't make the best purchasing decision here - not only is it a bit ancient and doesn't support modern wifi standards (300mbps? good grief) but a cursory google would have shown it's not a plug and play unit on linux. Virtually any cheap USB adapter with more modern linux support and better features would have been a safer bet. The version you've got doesn't even have an Atheros chipset unlike the v1 of the same adapter. As ever I don't mean to be harsh chief but sometimes you seem to be going out of your way to make things (too) hard for yourself (for no good reason). That being said, of course I'll help you fix it anyway! Cheers * instructions for Linux are literally: "Visit the TP-Link’s website at http://www.tp-link.com and go to TL-WN881ND’s product page. Then find the compatible version of driver in the support page. Download and install the driver on your computer." |
