Cannot Install ASUS USB-AC51 Wireless on Ubuntu 16.04
I am at my wit's end. I have a Dell Vostro 1700 laptop, maybe six or seven years old. It has an internal Broadcom 4321 wireless adapter, that I got running using the legacy B43 installer. Download speeds with this adapter stink. Ookla Speedtest gives me less than 1Mbs down, but nearly 6Mbs up (that just ain't right). The Broadcom yielded approximately the same values when I had Win 10 running (poorly) on this machine. While the laptop was still running Win 10, I bought the ASUS USB-AC51 wireless adapter. After getting drivers for it, download speeds increased by a factor of 30. So, that tells me that there's no hardware impediment to using the AC51.
I have tried everything from the top 3 or 4 search results for installing the AC51 on Ubuntu 16.04, to no avail.
sudo lshw -C network gives me this:

So, lsusb sees the AC-51, but the adapter doesn't light up, even after compiling and installing the driver from MT7612U_DPO_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.1_20140718, doing a make clean when that didn't work, then installing the driver from RTL8812AU_linux_v4.3.20_16317_20160108.
lshw sees the internal Broadcom wireless adapter, but also a disabled wireless adapter that it doesn't identify. I'm guessing this is the AC-51.

You could tryrfkillcommand (rfkill list,rfkill block,rfkill unblock) to see for example if disabling the internal adapter has any effect.

You could try
rfkillcommand (rfkill list,rfkill block,rfkill unblock) to see for example if disabling the internal adapter has any effect.– J.J. Hakala

Thanks for the suggestion. Output from rfkill list: 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no I'll give blocking the internal a short, but it's going to disconnect me, naturally.

I have Ubuntu 14.04, so I don't know will this help, but if you are still having the problem, you might as well give it a try. This helped me (although it's TP-Link's driver): askubuntu.com/questions/726569/… Hopefully that helps you as well!
