It looks like it needs configuring.

Looking better - Did it connect to WiFi??


Looks like another forum member has a similar: The RTL8812au

It discovers the very near wifi, my own and 4 neighbors at this stage.

I need to turn off managed mode and turn on monitor mode, and likely also increase the Tx, this has to be done manually on command line , maybe each time (I have to find out yet, by trying the tutorial).
I will do this in the next few days and reply back.
There is another one called the Alfa Network AWUS052NH, it is orange colored, it is sold out worldwide (online), it seems, I spent a lot of time looking for it unsuccessfully.
It is another dual band adapter for Linux, it is usb 2, whereas the ACH is USB 3.
I will check again in future to see if it becomes available again, or whether it has become a discontinued product.The 052NH is meant to be the most compatible adapter for Linux on dual band and is plug and play in Ubuntu.

Yes it connects to my wifi   it does work on 5.8Ghz @ 300Mbps, using Linux Lite. I done a search and browsed some sites to test it.

Edit -2.4Ghz is now also tested and working, also I tested both 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz at the same time and this works.

I am unable to change it to Monitor mode using this command set from a tutorial

Set interface down

Code:

sudo ip link set wlan0 down

Set monitor mode

Code:

sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

Set interface up

Code:

sudo ip link set wlan0 up

It gives an error saying device not found.

I am wondering if I need to change the hex (enx00c0caa57942) from previous screenshot, to the name wlan0 , or if it is another issue rather than naming ?

I have returned this to Amazon's Alfa store as it is faulty.

It is locked as managed mode, and so is useless to me, plus it is having awful scanning compared to any other one tried.

How do I totally remove the driver made from the "make" commands ?
I have changed back to Kernel 4.9.0 and removed 4.10, and the driver didn't work anymore, I put its installation folder into the trash and emptied it.I then remade the driver using the lesson on the same url link.
When I reboot I have a fast (too fast to read it) error screen appear before the feather splash, something about ACPI, it never used to appear.

I have since changing to 4.9.0 from the start had an error screen after the feather splash, about something being stolen,( I didn't steal anything, it must be a name used for something else on Linux) and also acpi errors, it is 4 items on that list, it has not been any problem, I am just concerned about the new error screen.
Once both version are fully gone and the errors, I can then following the lesson rebuiid this driver again if needed, as I have a different dual band one coming its a small dongle, that uses the same driver but I will see if it works from the driver in the repos first.
