I want to know the , kernel driver installation for tplink or edimax USB WiFi adapters…
if anyone have successfully installed…
Edimax worked out of the box. Drivers are already in image, so no need to install anything extra. Pleasant surprise.
I use USB wifi with RTL8812BU chip on my jetson nano, there is no driver in image
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Fortunately I found driver on github:
It works fine after following “DKMS installation” guidance.
Hi, shankarharan1999
You can try to get the driver from the vendors or the github for your type to see if there is some problem during installation. Feel free to use the wifi device from the Nano support components list.
@li.ngmob0 Thanks a lot I have the same hardware and the drivers from the link you provided works for me too :) I was struggling to find the right driver.
Anyone having an issue with the Edimax Wifi dongle Wifi connections? It seems to hold connection for ~5 minutes or less and then it still shows connected, but the speed drops to 7Mb/s from 72Mb/s and browser comes up with no internet. I tried at home and work with same issue. I also am using a BT dongle. If I close the Wifi connection and reconnect, speed and internet is back to normal for a short time and again it drops to 7Mb/s and lose internet. Annoying when trying to install stuff that needs internet and it hangs during the process.
Deleted.
Typically, if you hover your mouse over the quote icon in the upper right corner of one of your existing posts you will see other icons pop up. Usually I mention the paper clip icon for attaching files to an existing post…but the pencil icon does let you edit a post (you just won’t see the edit icon unless your mouse hovers over the quote).
@Linuxdev… fixed… Thanks! Still having weird issue where Wifi drops to 7Mb/s and says no internet access and I have to disconnect and reconnect to get back to speed.
We are looking into this, will let you know what we find out.
You can try to turn off the power_save mode to see if it could help.
sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save off
Thank you. Newbie question… which file do I edit to add/update the code you provided? I am a bit new to Linux.
Open a new terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the command in the terminal window.
I tried this command too, and it seems to improve the connectivity. We will keep looking into it. Thanks @alanz!
I turned off the power_save mode per your instructions, but still get only a minute or so… sometimes 5 minutes before connection drops from 72Mb/s to 7Mb/s and no internet connectivity. Kind of frustrating trying to install an app when it loses connection to the repository.
I am using the Edimax EW-7811UN Wifi adapter that is recommended in the Nano supported component list. Does the Intel 8265NGW M.2 Wifi card exhibit the same behavior? I may purchase the M.2 card if it works better.
Hi, Vasr
This is the log I have catched from Intel 8265 NGW. You can monitor the ‘Signal level’ and the channel your USB WIFI working with. For USB WIFI, it first go through the USB interface, then transfer data via the air. So both usb and signal/channel will give some abnormal behavior. If the Signal level is weak it will disconnect from the AP port. In the same time check the kernel logs from the dmesg command, if there is a disconnection there must be some information there indicating if it’s an error or just lost the signals. The Dropped packets and errors number should also give you some useful information.

Because I don’t have a Edimax EW-7811UN Wifi adapter on my hand. Just give some information hope could help.
‘Signal level=-27 dBm’ a good quality for the signal with channel 10.

BTW, run the jetson_clocks command is another option worth to try.
You can use command below to check your wifi environment.
nmcli device wifi list
Make sure your wifi router works fine
@alanz and @li.ngmob0
Thanks for the info. I tried Jetson_clocks briefly late yesterday, but seemed better. Will need to check again today to verify. Signal strength at home and work are strong so no issues with that piece. Plugging into Ethernet directly works fine (but no Ethernet port lights which is apparently a Nano bug). I most likely will order the 8265 NGW.
@alanz … which antenna are you using with your 8265 NGW?
Thanks again.
Hi, I am using the same USB wifi adapter Edimax EW-7811UN Wifi adapter. I have the same issue and the wifi keep consistently get deauthenticated and need to reconnect to the network quite often.
Please kindly find the info below:

echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
