#Asus usb ac56 drivers 2016 install#

Update MAC/BB/RF parameters and mechanism to improve overall performance.Д«ut I simply CANNOT get this driver loaded. It seems like the latest driver listed on the Asus site might address the issue I'm seeing with the limited range with the open-source driver However I have since found the Asus proprietary driver for Linux off the Asus web-site:

#Asus usb ac56 drivers 2016 how to#

The original syntax per link above showed to download that specific driver file and how to load it:

#Asus usb ac56 drivers 2016 install#

So I have a related question which may or not resolve the speed issue вЂ“ how to install the Proprietary Asus driver module The 4.2.5 driver from the Asus site, which appears from the overview may address this performance issue, will not install.

The 4.2.2 driver referenced above will successfully 'make' and install and fundamentally work however unless within immediate close-proximity, line-of-sight to router, the performance will be severely compromised. I know its not my ISP or my adapter itself вЂ“ something is choking it in Ubuntu I only get about 1.3 Mbps on this adapter 20Mbs on the internal adapter I get over 50 Mbps in Windows.

However the download speed is really slow:.

=> Perhaps less power to the device in Linux which is affecting its range? The same device in the same physical location running under windows is flawless.ДЎ) AC56 vs internal adapter performs much slower when both at same physical location removed from direct line of sight of routerДў) In the same physical location, the AC56 performs much worse under Linux than Windows Now вЂ“ I found however, that if I am in direct line of sight of the router, the speed comes up to normal вЂ“ so somehow it appears there is potentially less power to the device, which is affecting its range? The Bad news вЂ“ compared to the internal adapter the measured download speed (using a browser speedtest) is only about 7Mbps vs 40Mbps (7 at best and EXTREMELY sensitive to position) The Good news вЂ“ again that install completes and sees the USB adapter and allows it to connect to my router Installed the driver I indicated in the original post from the rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-master package (this is a revision 4.2.2 driver):

Unlike the original requester the instruction provided by chili555 (sorta) works* for me, even on USB2.0 port How do I install an ASUS USB-AC56 WiFi adapter? This was predominantly answered in this thread
