I'm on ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.4.0-28-generic, and I own a netgear a7000 wireless adapter that works fine with windows but wouldnt function with my linux dual boot.Īll the threads i could fidn that addressed this subject were from 2018 at the earliest, and they all suggested drivers that haven't been updated in years and did not work on my install. I had to make this post to help anyone else who might be having issues with this network adapter and possibly other network adapters which work with the realtek 8814au 8812au chipsets. That was it, worked like a charm, hope this helps someone.Here's the link to askUbuntu and Ubuntu Forum posts.

I selected my router from the list, typed in the password to my router and there you have it, connection established. I clicked on it and there were my list of networks to choose from.ĥ. Not only did the light come on, I noticed my wired connection symbol on the panel in the bottom right corner suddenly change from a wired symbol to wireless symbol. So I plugged it in once and I noticed the yellow indicator light on my adapter didn't come on, so I removed it and plugged it in a second time.
#Netgear n300 wifi usb adapter linux driver driver
At this point, although the driver was installed, my device was not plugged in yet, so the status in the window read, Hardware present: No. This took only a second or two, it was installed quickly without any problems.Ĥ. Select the 32bit or 64bit driver depending upon your system architecture, and click on the "Install" tab. Click on the "Install New Driver" tab and browse to your folder where the driver is located.

This will open the tool that will install the driver. Open ndiswrapper by clicking on Menu/System/Windows Wireless Drivers. Open the terminal and type the following command, then hit enter to install the ndiswrapper package: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk This will install everything needed for ndiswrapper to run.ģ. Here is the link again just in case: I left them in my downloads folder by default, I was too much in a rush to create one in my home folder. Downloaded the drivers from the link provided by Departure in his post above (Thanks again Departure). It was very quick and only took a couple of minutes, so here are the steps I took:ġ.
Ok guys I'm back, so here it is in a nutshell, I'll try to be concise here.
ini file for WNDA3100 making sure you use the correct architecture e.g 32bit or 64bit drivers needs to be the same on your linux system, There is also a firmware and driver called "ar9170" but has since been merged with "carl9170" if you decide the wrapper isn't working for you then take a look here the driver already comes with linux kernel 2.6 and higher, but you will need to install the carl9170 firmware to get your device workingĮxcellent Rob, you are so right, I'm at work now, but when I get home this afternoon I will come back in to this post and give that information. Quote from: Departure on June 04, 2014, 08:17:37 AM I have both WNDA3100 and a WNDA4100, the WNDA4100 only needs new kernel to work correctly I think it was kernel 3.12 or 3.13 and should work out of the box, the WNDA3100 you need to use the wrapper in linux with the windows XP driver. If you get it working to that stage and see your network but can not connect you need to change the WPA2 login encryption on your router to something else e.g WPA, I noticed on my WNDA3100 I needed to do this to get it working on my router Here is a tutorial for ndiswrapper incase you have problems, use this tutorial with the drivers in the link above and you should be good to go. I just realized you are using version 2 of the device, this means wrapper is your only solution, here is the drivers you need install the one corresponding to the architecture of your linux system eg. ini file for WNDA3100 making sure you use the correct architecture e.g 32bit or 64bit drivers needs to be the same on your linux system, There is also a firmware and driver called "ar9170" but has since been merged with "carl9170" if you decide the wrapper isn't working for you then take a look here the driver already comes with linux kernel 2.6 and higher, but you will need to install the carl9170 firmware to get your device working I have both WNDA3100 and a WNDA4100, the WNDA4100 only needs new kernel to work correctly I think it was kernel 3.12 or 3.13 and should work out of the box, the WNDA3100 you need to use the wrapper in linux with the windows XP driver.
