The ASUS AC68 adapter likely uses a Realtek 8814 AU chipset. Before following the advice from @C2dan88, consider installing the "rtl8812au-dkms" driver available in Ubuntu's universe repository. This driver supports both 8812AU and 8814AU chipsets, offering a smoother installation. Using the official packages from Ubuntu ensures drivers stay current with kernel updates, and you won't need to manage dependencies yourself. A reboot may be necessary after installation.

Note: Linux kernel 6.15+ includes built-in Realtek 8814AU support, so newer kernels may eliminate the need for additional drivers unless a microcode is required. Ubuntu 25.10 includes kernel 6.17, providing out-of-the-box compatibility with your device. If you're on an older Ubuntu version, upgrading could resolve this issue.

The system returned "Permission Denied." It's unclear what access you're being restricted from, but you should have unrestricted rights on your machine.

You need higher permissions for this task. Not every script requires it. You can attempt using sudo, which will briefly increase your privileges during the command, for example: sudo ./install.sh Did you have a chance to test the driver I recommended? If it functions, it would be a much more streamlined and effective method.

I attempted, but it wasn't clear to me. Apologies, I'm finding this difficult more than expected. I'll try the sudo command tomorrow to check.

OMG! It seems the script isn't finding the command. I might just move my rig and hardwire it. But if I do that, I won't have the dongle installed and won't be able to use it normally. I'm really stressed about this.

Ensure it has executable permissions then execute chmod +x install.sh sudo ./install.sh. You might need to temporarily relocate it for testing on an ethernet connection. Using the package manager will simplify driver installation. When offline, installing drivers often causes dependency issues—lack of required dependencies leads to complications.

Absolutely. It's possible that not all necessary tools are already set up for building the module. I didn't realize the computer lacks another way to get online. Without internet access, installing the suggested package won't work either. If moving the PC isn't an option, you can connect your phone via USB and use USB tethering to share its internet connection—possibly your Wi-Fi. This should work on Android, though I'm not sure about iOS or macOS. On the PC, it will appear as a wired Ethernet device and should connect automatically without needing special drivers. Once connected, you can attempt to install the "rtl8812au-dkms" package.

Following the steps you tried, I received the error message about the driver. At this stage, you might want to disconnect your PC from its setup and move it around until you find a better solution.

It's hard to judge without the log file. Sharing the output via command might help. Please keep in mind it can grow quite large, so consider using a paste service and linking to it. This method isn't ideal, especially for beginners. Installing apps and drivers through scripts isn't recommended because it can leave your system in a disorganized state. Without an uninstall feature, which is typical for many drivers, you'll face the same problem again when a new kernel is released. This should only be considered as a final option. The USB tethering I referenced is the most straightforward way to access the internet on the device. If not, you'll likely need an alternative connection method. After updating the OS, install the driver package.
