TP-link WN823N in Ubuntu Mate 16.04

I bought two Wi-Fi adapters TP-link WN823N, I wanted to use it with Ubuntu 16:04,

Ubuntu found the wifi network, but it stopped working, I looked for how to make it work, I tried several tutorials, but I could not get it to work,

But recently I found this tutorial on how to make it work, I did it with two computers, one 32-bit and one 64-bit, works fine on both, perfect.

Use Realtek 8192cu drivers

  • First from Synaptic, look for the package (git-all), check to install and apply.

    Then open the terminal and follow these steps:

        sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    

    Ensure you have the necessary prerequisites:
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
    Clone this repository:
    git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
    Set it up as a DKMS module:
    sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
    Build and install it (this version number may change, it is .10 as of october 19 2015
    sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10
    Refresh the module list:
    sudo depmod -a
    Ensure the native (and broken) kernel driver is blacklisted:
    sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
    And reboot. You're done.

But now when starting Ubuntu mate these lines appear,

It's my daughter's computer
It work well and it does not affect her in the use, now

Could it affect the system in the future?

Have you done what the error message tells you to do? Take a look at what was logged (and possible reasons for the failure) with command:

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

Hello samuvuo , I have written that phrase in the terminal and it puts this,
But the TP-link wifi adapter works perfectly,

Hi guys, I’ve been using TP-link W823N on two computers, for several months,

the result has been perfect, works well and does not affect any other function,

the problem that I have put in previous paragraphs only affects the 32-bit computer, but it works very well,

on my 64-bit computer it does not put anything and it works perfect,

a clarification, in some update it is possible that it stops working TP-link, the connection to the wifi fails,

to solve that I advise not to delete the kernel linux that works well TP-link and to the next update, from that kernel you can update,

then it will work again,

regards…
