Ubuntu 18 with TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Adapter

If you are using Ubuntu 18 LTS getting this to work now in August, 2018 should be super simple:


apt install dkms
apt install rtl8812au-dkms


Lots of instructions about getting personal git repos. None were needed.

I will say I've had poor luck with the overall reliability of the AC1200 adapter on Windows though. Actually, all USB wifi adapters tend to suck. They seem to overheat and shut down with no warning.  Seems to be worse with 5 GHz and high security settings. Your mileage may vary.
