Are these adapters even possible to be used with the RPi? I have seen the the RPi USB Wi-Fi Adapters page has the USB-AC51.Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0b05:17d1 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.Bus 001 Device 011: ID 0b05:17d2 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0b05:180b ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

This is the output for lsusb for all the adapters (same order as above): All of them are, however, listed using lsusb. To try to wrap this up: I have yet not been able to get these listed WiFi adapters to be listed by the Raspberry when checking ifconfig or ip list. So I read up on compiling a kernel on RPi (can't link which ones, I don't have enough rep for >2 links) and also found Raspberry Pi's GitHub page. Please stop me if this is overkill and I've got this all wrong.
#Asus ac51 windows 10 driver drivers
After reading even more threads I understood that the drivers can't be compiled if I don't also compile myself a new kernel. So now I continued to try to fix that problem, going further down the rabbit hole. None of these folder have a build folder in them, so I get an error when doing make using any of the drivers. When I go to /lib/modules and then ls this is the result: 4.1.13+ 4.1.13-v7+. The first problem I encountered was that I got an error similar to this (Note that I have kernel version 4.1.13-v7+). I have tried both drivers from Asus webpage (selecting Linux as OS) as well as drivers such as a fork of the Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au) v4.2.2 which is altered to build on Linux kernel v >=3.10.
#Asus ac51 windows 10 driver install
I'm not that good at Linux in general, but from what I've understand, I need to install other drivers to make these adapters work. Now I've been trying to get this to work for an entire day but without luck. None of them work using the drivers already installed (nl80211) but it worked great with the first adapter (Asus USB-N53). The stores didn't have 3 more of the same Asus USB adapter, so I bought three other from Asus in hope of that they would work out of the box just like the first one I tested. Everything worked really fine and I went out to but 3 more RPis.

For that I used 1 Raspberry Pi 2, Raspbian Jessie (date 150505) kernel 4.1.13-v7+ (using uname -r) and a Asus USB Adapter Model USB-N53. I am in the process of creating some access points and have bought three RPi2.īefore this purchase I've followed this tutorial and managed to create an AP.
