Hello,
I recently purchased the TL-WN821N as my router sits about 5 meters from my media player, but the powerline adapters on that circuit are, to be honest, crap. I tested wifi with a raspberry pi at the same spot and get considerably better throughput. The only issue is I can't get the dongle to work. Running Libreelec 7.0.3 on an Intel NUC, this is the Version 5 dongle.
lsusb output:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2357:0107
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hubI've tried fixes from here and here, being:
modprobe 8192cu
echo "2357 0107" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_idThis makes the wireless network option show up in the libreelec configuration, but when you select to activate it, it just deactivates it straight away, even with the network cable unplugged.
I also plugged the dongle into my windows PC and it showed the driver being used is 'rt8192eu.inf', so also tried:
modprobe 8192eu
echo "2357 0107" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192eu/new_idBut this is even worse, as soon as you run lsusb again it locks up.
I'm not sure where to go from here?
