Thanks,

i'll dig a little deeper and see what I can find. Being able to ssh in and poke around is helping too. This is a very cool system, keep up the good work.

Attached is my log zip. My specific hardware is a RPI 3 and the QGOO usb antennae (Amazon.com: WiFi Adapter for PC, QGOO 1200Mbps USB 3.0 Wireless Network WiFi Dongle with 5dBi Antenna for Desktop/Laptop, Dual Band 2.42G/5.8G 802.11ac, Support Windows 10/8/8.1/7/Vista/XP, Mac OS 10.5-10.14: Computers & Accessories)

I just want to confirm that the PI is using the annenae and not the built in one.

@millhouse, thank you for the response. That is great news about the drivers being included. How do I tell if the antenna is detected? When I iwconfig, it shows wlan0. Shouldn't the additional antennae show up and an additional device?

Hey All,

I am new to LibreElec and not sure how to install the driver. On rpi it is no problem. Should I be doing all this via ssh?

How do I go about installing: GitHub - fariouche/rtl8812AU: Realtek 8812AU USB WiFi driver

Thanks!
