Ourlink AC600 wireless usb adapter not working on newly installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.10


Hello,

The title says the most of it. I recently installed linux on my desktop (clean install, the desktop used to be windows, but the hard drives were formatted), and I have not had any luck getting my wireless usb adapter to work properly. I have not found much relevant information online for the adapter I have purchased, but I do know that it works properly for my windows computer. I have found that there is no driver installed for it, but I'm not sure how to go about finding the appropriate drivers. Its possible that I could connect the desktop temporarily via Ethernet, but if there are drivers that I could download and move to it from a different computer, and then install offline, that would be the best case scenario.

Thanks in advance,
Caleb

Hi Caleb, welcome to the forum

If you would and if possible, please connect your computer to the internet via ethernet and then open a terminal and enter these commands...

Code:
wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info
Then post the results (or a link to them) in your next reply. This might give us additional information that could help us resolve your issue.

Regards...

Hello ardvark71,

Thanks for the reply! I did not connect my desktop to ethernet, but I downloaded the file you linked to from my laptop, and then transferred it to my Desktop to run it. I think the output is the same. The results are below:

Hi...

I noticed two different Realtek devices in your report, so I'm not exactly sure which one is the adapter you're referring to. However, if it's the one I listed in the above quote, take a look at the page here. The driver there may work, I'm not sure. If not, you can look through my Google search here.

Let us know how it goes...

Regards...

Hmmm, so I am fairly sure that it is the 003 0bda:a811 device, as when I lsusb after removing the wireless adapter, that device disappears but the other remains. I'll admit I'm still not sure what in my computer the 004 device is..

But, unfortunately, the first link you posted did not work. I however did look around at your google search, and found instruction on this page, however, the github link they provided would kept giving me errors when I attempted to make. So I kept looking around, and found what I believe is the same driver, but updated, on this page. Using the new github page as the drivers, and the commands from the first page, I was able to get the wireless card working, and I am now connected to the internet!

Thanks for everything!

Best,
Caleb
