In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose 'All Apps' -> swipe or scroll right and choose 'Control Panel' (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager In Windows 11, Windows 10 & Windows 8.1, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. When finished, simply repeat Steps 1~8 again to recompile and reinstall the driver.Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. First, you have to uninstall/remove the installed driver. Otherwise, the adapter may not be working. You may need to recompile and reinstall the existing driver whenever there is a kernel update.

That's it! Once finished booting up, you should be able to make a Wi-Fi connection using our adapter via the Network Manager. Restart your RPi for the installed driver to take effect. Line #158 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI from n to y Line #110 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC from y to n We have to change it to ARM-based RPi (ARM-RPI) platform. The default setting is for Intel/AMD-based (I386-PC) platform. Modify the hardware platform in Makefile. Clone the open source driver from the GitHub repository. You need to check the installation one more time. You should be able to see a build/ folder with the 2nd command above. $ sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers Install the kernel headers, which is needed to compile the driver. This step is optional and you don't have to do it. Make sure your system is up-to-date and reboot if necessary after updated/upgraded. Open a Terminal program from your Raspbian OS. Make sure your RPi is able to access the Internet. Please do not include it with the command you typed. The '$' is just the prompt to indicate you're not the root user.

Commands used to compile and install the driver are in green below. The following instructions work for EW-7811 AC600 Series adapters and EW-7822UAC AC 1200 USB 3.0 adapter only.Īs of June 11, 2019, we use the Raspbian Operating System(OS) image and then update the kernel to v4.19 on Raspberry Pi(RPi) 3 Model B for testing and verification. You don't have to use the one showed here. There are other open source drivers available. These instructions are based on an open source driver from GitHub.
