I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to set up everything on my own (with manually created partitions for the first time). The installation process was smooth but I'm struggling to get my wifi adapter to work.

I'm using a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi USB Adapter (A7000) which works fine with Windows 10 but is not detected by Ubuntu 20.04

So far I've tried following steps mentioned in three different posts and none of them has worked for me so far:

  1. First I tried this

    sudo apt-get install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8814au.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8814au 
sudo dkms build -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21
sudo dkms install -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21

  2. Then I tried this

    sudo apt install dkms build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
reboot

  3. Finally I tried this

    git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au/
sudo dkms-install.sh

Am I missing something?

Also, idk if it is related in any way or if it matters but when I restart Ubuntu my screen goes completely blank and I have to force shutdown my desktop and boot again.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

I am attempting to install drivers for my wifi adapter (Netgear Ac6120 Wifi Adapter)
The adapter shows up when I type 

$ lsusb

After following these steps

$ git clone https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210
$ cd netgear-a6210
$ make

I get this error

After following the steps you mentioned i got an internal error but i wasn't able to catch what it was and it didn't show after restarting twice
The wifi adapter is showing up connecting to the wifi now so thank you for that

it does take a little long to connect (about a 1 to 1 1/2 minutes ), is that just how the adapter runs on linux/ something i'll have to accept?

I can ssh to the server, but sshfs fails with the

read: Connection reset by peer

error. I have checked all the cases pointed out in this AskUbuntu question, the user is in the fuse group, allow_other is correct, the permissions of /etc/fuse.conf are correct.

I use allow_other and idmap options, but I cannot do sshfs while the server allows me to do ssh, but not sshfs and the debug mode says 

no matching cipher found: client arcfour server aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

The server is a Netgear NAS and the user is in the admin group, sftp is also enabled and works.

I've noticed a lot of people having similar issues with finding a driver for NETGEAR A6100 AC600 WiFi Adapter.

I've been struggling with a lot of the threads and drivers posted on github. Many of the ones listed are referencing a rtl8812au driver while I believe my particular one is a rtl8811au.

I ran the wireless info script that is floating around and these are my results https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/XDnGNYcKPT/

I did get this driver to make and install but it doesn't seem to do anything. https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU I still don't have any wireless connections popping up.

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated..

From what I can tell there is no Linux support for the Netgear N900 WNDA4100. Ndiswrapper doesn't support this, either. I tried installing the driver in wine and the installer crashes. How do I go about requesting support for this device? Is it not possible, or is it just that no one has requested support for this device yet? I was trying to read stuff about compiling drivers myself but this is way way out of my league. Unfortunately I have no other option besides using my Android phone in USB Tether mode while connected to my network via wifi. Through some miracle, Ubuntu sees it as a wired connection. But, this is not an ideal situation.
