There are many posts by MrEngman on the Raspberry Pi forums answering questions related to the Realtek WiFi chipset drivers and you'll encounter many 404'd Dropbox links to drivers and install-wifi shell scripts attributed to MrEngman. As of the latest edit to this post I have been using the dongle for about 2 days for about 10 hours a day without problems. These steps worked out flawlessly and soon after and I was connected to an ASUS AC1900 (802.11ac dual-band 5Ghz) router. I recommend that you disable the on-board WiFi chip in order to save power and avoid causing interference if you'll be using a 2.4Ghz band. The last comment says #check wlan0 interface appeared but if you still have the RPi on-board WiFi activated, the dongle will appear as wlan1. $ sudo cp 8812au.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless $ sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y/g' Makefile $ sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile

sudo reboot - now reboot to update the kernel with the new wifi driver.ДЄfter hours of reading threads and following guides here and there, the definitive guide that got the driver working was here.

sudo install-wifi -u rpi-update- then update the driver for the new kernel installed by rpi-update.

sudo rpi-update - if a driver is available you can run rpi-update to update firmware.

sudo install-wifi -c rpi-update - check for driver if rpi-update is run.

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/install-wifi - makes it executable.

sudo wget -O /usr/bin/install-wifi - Downloads the installation file.

The best and easiest way to handle this problem is as following This gets you the latest bleeding edge kernel/firmware.' Д®ven the rpi-update documentation now warns 'Even on Raspbian you should only use this with a good reason. Then take that flash drive, CD, or DVD to the problem computer.'In normal circumstances there is NEVER a need to run rpi-update as it always gets you to the leading edge firmware and kernel and because that may be a testing version it could leave your RPi unbootable'. Then copy the file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a CD or DVD. In general, if you need to download a file (for example, a driver) for a computer that is unable to connect to the Internet, use another computer that is able to connect (for example, the computer you're using to ask questions here) to download the file.
