i have tried several methods on this forum but no luck. I installed the rtl8192eu but it did not work previously. Hope you guys can help me out

One Answer

I had same issue with Mercusys(rtl8192eu) as you. I found the solution here:

https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

Before you start, I recommend removing the current driver, with the following commands:

$ sudo rmmod 8192eu
$ sudo rmmod rtl8xxxu
$ sudo dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0 --all
