See THIS and THIS first.

Thanks. I had looked at those posts, but didn't understand them at first. Now I get it.

It is Bus 001 Device 005 which is the TP-Link TL-WN821N (this is version 5 device)

So I loaded the driver manually with
modprobe 8192cu

THEN issued:

echo "2357 0107" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id

When plugging in the USB and looking at DMESG, it seems to almost work, but I get a driver error.

So, I looked at the other post and it changed the driver from cu to eu. I tried that, but when I do the echo command, the Libreelec wired connection crashes and I get booted off my ssh connection.

Talking to TP-Link, they say to grab their newest driver from the website. I have the linux version, but don't know how to get it copied into the /lib directory as it's r/o.

I thought I could use modprobe with the -d directive to specify an alternate location, but can't get the command to work. I don't have the right format or options or something.

Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me what wireless USB devices are known to work with the latest LibreELEC? Please specify USB brand and version. Thanks

Just bought a TP LINK TL-WN821-N (Version 5) and can't get LE to recognize device. Thinking there is a driver issue. Can anyone assist?

We are running Intel version of LibreELEC on ASROCK J3160 hardware.
