I have TP-Link USB Wifi adapter which I use on Ubuntu 20.04. The problem is that it's very slow so I'm trying to install this: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

Although I followed the steps I still don't see rt68192eu in sudo lshw -c network

milano@milano-desktop:~$ sudo lshw -c network;

Please, can you help me? I also tried to manually edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf adding:

blacklist rtl8xxxu
blacklist rtl88XXau

But the output is still the same (after reboot).

EDIT

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && ./wireless-info

returns this:

I doubt that installing an older, less well supported driver will make your wireless faster. I'd rather address the speed than try another driver.

@chili555 The output is too big to paste it here (char limit), so I've created a gist: https://gist.github.com/futilestudio/513b81ca890cb8058179c2055498dc81

Try blacklist 88XXau as that is the drivers name in the script results, but I would advise against it as it is the driver that is making the wifi work. The rtl8192eu driver doesn't cover your device

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
