Asus USB-AC68 wireless driver

Does anyone know of a working driver for Asus USB-AC68 Dual Band AC1900 USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapter and if so, how do I install it?

I have access to my old Windows 7 computer with WiFi and my new computer with a fresh installation of Zorin OS 15 Core. I'm on a mobile connection and a router without ethernet (only WiFi) so I'm unable to connect an ethernet cable on the Linux computer, so I will need to download the driver to the Windows computer and transfer the files.

I'm completely new to Linux, so I'm finding the information online a bit confusing with all the commands and shortages. Spent the last five hours trying to sort it out, so I'm about to throw in the towel here and switch back to Windows. Please help?

Thank you for your reply. I dragged my computer to work and connected it to Ethernet as I couldn't get it to work offline. I'm getting this error message after the last step:

morten@MortenPC:~$ sudo dkms install rtl8814AU/4.3.21

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

OK, to find out what went wrong, open your Nautilus folder for files (On panel next to Firefox icon), then 'other locations', then Computer, then 'var', then 'lib', then 'dkms', then 'rt8814AU', then '4.3.2.1', then 'build', then 'make.log' - open the last item in Text Editor and post back results.

I think the issue might be the version/revision number of the chipset.

Can you please post back the results of:

Thanks.

Thank you again for taking the time to help.

OK, that didn't bring back the information I expected/needed. Can you please install 'net-tools' using Synaptic Package Manager - if not installed, install Synaptic from 'Software'.

Once installed, in a terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T or Menu | Utilities | Terminal) and enter:

Code:

ifconfig

and paste back the results.

Thanks.
