How can I get drivers for my Linksys WUSB6300 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS?

I have Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and I'm trying to install drivers for my Linksys WUSB6300 Network adapter. I've tried two solutions so far and neither worked (How do I get the linksys WUSB6300 wireless adapter to work on linux and https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu). I'm currently using ethernet but that's not a long term solution. The drivers work fine on Windows (the network adapter acts like a usb drive and has the drivers contained inside but they're only for windows). Are there any solutions or do I need to buy a new network adapter?

Edit: The "make" command in the first link returns an error (I'll try to get the error but I already closed the terminal window so I'm not sure if I can get it again exactly, had something to do with redefining something..), and the second one got me through the entire installation process but it didn't work, no WIFI options in the settings or any connection whatsoever. (The first link was for an older version of Ubuntu, if that helps. The only one that was tested on my version was the second github link which got through the process fine but there was no connection settings at all so I uninstalled the driver.)

Your question seems to be an exact duplicate of one of your links. The same question will result in the same answer. "*neither worked*" doesn't tell us anything useful that makes the question different. We might be able to help you...if you provide details of exactly what you did and show us the complete output. Alternately, buying a Linux-compatible dongle isn't a bad idea for some folks.

With a working internet connection, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8812au.git
cd 8812au
sudo ./install-driver.sh

Reboot. Your wireless should now be working.

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.
