1 Answer

This device has a Realtek RTL8812BU chipset. You need to install the drivers manually, there is no support "out of the box" and no official drivers. I recommend morrowr repository for unsupported realtek USB This is how to install the needed drivers from terminal:

1. install dependencies

sudo apt install dkms git build-essential 

2. download the drivers from github

git clone 

3. Install the drivers

cd 88x2bu-20210702
sudo ./install-driver.sh

Your computer will reboot at the end of the process, so you might want to save any work in progress
