Wifi dongle not recognized (TL-WN823N V2)

  • Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a wifi dongle in a Raspberry Pi 2

    After fighting with my previous wifi adapter and checking that what I wanted to do worked perfectly over ethernet (accesing NFS shares) I decided to go and buy a new dongle.

    Sadly, this new adapter is not recognized by the Pi. It works just fine on my windows PC but in Libreelec I don't see any wireless networks nor the option to activate wifi under settings. I figure the adapter might be having driver issues so I googled for a little while, this is what I know:

    The dongle is a TP-Link TL-WN823N V2, it uses the rtl8192eu driver. AFAIK this driver is included in LE, and I tried to follow the steps listed here: LibreELEC but it didn't work. The guy over there was using a different dongle but I figured the solution should be similar. Basically after performing the same commands (changing the driver code and vendor/product IDs to math mine: 2357:0109) and plugging the adapter the Pi either freezes or doesn't notice the new device.

    Any help? thanks
