Warning: Beware of «multi-state» USB WiFi adapters. Some USB WiFi adapters have proprietary Windows drivers onboard. When plugged in, they act like a flash drive or CDROM and on Windows will attempt to start installing the Windows driver. That won’t work on Linux or MAC or any other non-Windows OS so the adapter sits there in flash drive or CDROM mode. The problem is that the state of the adapter has to be changed for the adapter to show up as the device that you expect, in this case, a WiFi adapter. Most modern Linux distributions ship with a utility called «usb-modeswitch» that will handle this issue for you if it has the correct information for your adapter. It is a good utility but if you buy adapters that are «multi-state,» that is one more potential headache you may have to deal with when something goes wrong. Often you can indentify adapters that are «multi-state» as they are advertised as «free driver» or «free installation driver.» If you are looking to buy a USB WiFi adapter for use on Linux, MAC OS, *NIX or anything besides Windows, it is a good idea to seek out single-state adapters.

Note: Some adapter makers change the chipsets in their products while keeping the same model number so please check to confirm that the product you plan to buy has the chipset you are expecting.

The installation instructions are for the novice user. Experienced users are welcome to alter the installation to meet their needs.

Temporary internet access is required for installation. There are numerous ways to enable temporary internet access depending on your hardware and situation. One method is to use tethering from a phone.. Another method to enable temporary internet access is to keep a wifi adapter that uses an in-kernel driver in your toolkit.

You will need to use the terminal interface. The quick way to open a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T (hold down on the Ctrl and Alt keys then press the T key)

DKMS is used for the installation. DKMS is a system utility which will automatically recompile and install this driver when a new kernel is installed. DKMS is provided by and maintained by Dell.

It is recommended that you do not delete the driver directory after installation as the directory contains information and scripts that you may need in the future.

There is no need to disable Secure Mode to install this driver. If Secure Mode is properly setup on your system, this installation will support it.

Step 1: Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)

Step 2: Update the system (select the option for the OS you are using)

Step 3: Install the required packages (select the option for the OS you are using)

Step 4: Create a directory to hold the downloaded driver

Step 5: Move to the newly created directory

Step 6: Download the driver

Step 7: Move to the newly created driver directory

Step 8: Warning: this step only applies if you are installing to Raspberry Pi hardware.

Run a preparation script

Step 9: Run the installation script (For automated builds, use NoPrompt as an option)

A file called 8821au.conf will be installed in /etc/modeprobe.d by default.

This file will be read and applied to the driver on each system boot.

To edit the driver options file, run the edit-options.sh script.

Documentation for Driver Options is included in the file 8821au.conf .

Removal of the Driver

Note: This script should be used in the following situations:

• the driver is no longer needed
• a fresh start with default settings is needed
• a new version of the driver needs to be installed
• a major operating system upgrade is going to be applied

Note: This script removes everything that has been installed, with the exception of the packages installed in Step 3 and the driver directory. The driver directory can and probably should be deleted in most cases after running the script.

Step 1: Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)

Step 2: Move to the driver directory

Step 3: Run the removal script

Recommended WiFi Router/ Access Point Settings

Note: These are general recommendations, some of which may not apply to your specific situation.

Security: Set WPA2-AES. Do not set WPA2 mixed mode or WPA or TKIP.

Channel width for 2.4G: Set 20 MHz fixed width. Do not use 40 MHz or 20/40 automatic.

Channels for 2.4G: Set channel 1 or 6 or 11 depending on the congestion at your location. Do not set automatic channel selection.

Mode for 2.4G: For best performance, set «N only» if you no longer use B or G capable devices.

Network names: Do not set the 2.4G Network and the 5G Network to the same name. Note: Unfortunately many routers come with both networks set to the same name.

Channels for 5G: Not all devices are capable of using DFS channels. It may be necessary to set a fixed channel in the range of 36 to 48 or 149 to 161 in order for all of your devices to work on 5g. (for US, other countries may vary)

Best location for the wifi router/ access point: Near center of apartment or house, at least a couple of feet away from walls, in an elevated location.

Check congestion: There are apps available for smart phones that allow you to check the congestion levels on wifi channels. The apps generally go by the name of WiFi Analyzer or something similar.

After making and saving changes, reboot the router.

Set regulatory domain to correct setting in OS

Check the current setting

If you get 00, that is the default and may not provide optimal performance.

Set it temporarily

Note: Substitute your country code if you are not in the United States.

Set it permanently

Recommendations regarding USB

Moving your USB WiFi adapter to a different USB port has been known to fix a variety of problems. Problems include WiFi going on and off as well as connections coming and going.

If connecting your USB WiFi adapter to a desktop computer, use the USB ports on the rear of the computer. Why? The ports on the rear are directly connected to the motherboard which will reduce problems with interference and disconnection that can happen with front ports that use cables.

If your USB WiFi adapter is USB 3 capable then plug it into a USB 3 port.

Avoid USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports if possible as almost all currently available adapters have been tested with USB 3.1 Gen 1 (aka USB 3) and not with USB 3.1 Gen 2.

If you use an extension cable and your adapter is USB 3 capable, the cable needs to be USB 3 capable.

Some USB WiFi adapters require considerable electrical current and push the capabilities of the power available via USB port. One example is devices that use the Realtek 8814au chipset. Using a powered multiport USB extension can be a good idea in cases like this.

Realtek 8161 linux driver

Realtek R8101 linux driver source

This is the official linux driver source for Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E/RTL8103E/RTL8105E/RTL8106E/RTL8107E FE 100M NICs, obtained from here. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 in my Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop, ethernet works flawlessly with a speed of 95 Mbps upload and download.

Since Ubuntu 18 these NICs are being used with the default r8169 driver (which is for the R8169 gigabit ethernet controller only), which causes terrible download and upload speeds. Installing the official driver for 810xE series fixes it.

Driver version: 1.035.03
Release date: 26/05/2020

NOTE: I upgraded to another laptop few months ago so I’m no longer maintaining this repo.

How to install this driver?

• First of all, clone this repo to some folder and cd into that folder
• Install basic dependencies for compiling the driver: sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
• Unload the existing r8169 driver: sudo modprobe -r r8169
• Block the r8169 driver in modprobe: sudo sh -c ‘echo blacklist r8169 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf’
• Run the automatic build & install script: sudo ./autorun.sh . Ignore errors if any.
• Check if the driver is loaded: lsmod | grep r8101 , it will return a single line like r8101 204800 0
• If the driver is not loaded, then run sudo modprobe r8101 .
• Now try connecting. If you don’t see the connection then you might need a reboot.
• Enjoy ethernet speeds upto 100Mbps!

Some additional info

/r8101, the link status can be forced to one of the 4 modes as following command. # insmod ./src/r8101.ko speed=SPEED_MODE duplex=DUPLEX_MODE autoneg=NWAY_OPTION where SPEED_MODE = 100 for 100Mbps = 10 for 10Mbps DUPLEX_MODE = 0 for half-duplex = 1 for full-duplex NWAY_OPTION = 0 for auto-negotiation off (true force) = 1 for auto-negotiation on (nway force) For example: # insmod ./src/r8101.ko speed=100 duplex=0 autoneg=1 will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Half-duplex(nway force). 2. Force the link status by using ethtool. a. Insert the driver first. b. Make sure that ethtool exists in /sbin. c. Force the link status as the following command. # ethtool -s ethX speed SPEED_MODE duplex DUPLEX_MODE autoneg NWAY_OPTION where SPEED_MODE = 100 for 100Mbps = 10 for 10Mbps DUPLEX_MODE = half for half-duplex = full for full-duplex NWAY_OPTION = off for auto-negotiation off (true force) = on for auto-negotiation on (nway force) For example: # ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Full-duplex(nway force). RTL8101E, RTL8102E and RTL8103E do not support Jumbo Frame. «>
