I have recently switched to Ubuntu, and I have no other way of accessing the internet on my computer because my router doesn't support ethernet, so I have a wifi adapter, and I've seen a bunch of different tutorials but they all require an internet connection first to install make or dkms.

The driver you compiled doesn't cover your device at all. You can confirm it with:


modinfo 8812au | grep 9052


Where '9052' is the last part of your usb.id:


ID 0846:9052 NetGear, Inc. A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8811AU]

The command will come back blank.


Let's remove it. In the terminal, navigate to the location of the file you downloaded, for an example, Downloads:


cd ~/Downloads/rtl8812AU
sudo make uninstall
cd ..
rm -rf rtl8812AU


Now let's download a better file:


sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install


Check:


modinfo rtl8812au.ko | grep 9052


The terminal should return your device ID:


alias: usb:v0846p9052ddcdscdpiciscipin


Reboot and you should be all set.
