Hi everyone.
I have now installed it also on my main desktop PC as a dual boot with windows 10 which was already on there. The issue that i have is that with the ethernet cable plugged in, i dont get any internet and it just says "Connection failed" and wont connect. I then tried to use Wifi and it does not show and networks at all and says "Activation of network connection failed".
I have disabled Secure Boot in the bios.

Hi @Warrioruw , TP Link drivers usually comes with the Linux Kernal.
Can you type the commands in the terminal, I want to know your Kernal version, Network Info & Basic System Info?
$ sudo apt-get install inxi ←(Installs Inxi)$ inxi -i ←(List network info)$ inxi ←(Gives basic system info)
mark@mark-main-PC:~$ sudo apt-get install inxi
Command 'inxi' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install inxi
mark@mark-main-PC:~$ inxi
Command 'inxi' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install inxi
mark@mark-main-PC:~$
I am not sure if this also helps:
mark@mark-main-PC:~$ sudo lshw -C network

Did you install Zorin Os? Inxi is in the Zorin Repositories.
Can you open Software & Updates. On the first tab, ensure that Download From: is set to Main Server.
Then in terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Don't the mirrors have the same things on it? Op's Wi-Fi card should work because 90.9% of TP Links products are on the Linux Kernal.

They are supposed to. But the regional servers tend to... not quite fulfill their promise.

Is there something that i could somehow manually download on my laptop and then put it on a usb and then plug it in to the main PC and install it to get it to work?

Weird, your devices should work because all the drivers are in the Kernal. I tested with a TP Link TL-WN881ND | 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Express Adapter | TP-Link Malaysia
i cant understand why it says its a realtek adapter though instead of tp link

Warrioruw:
realtek adapter
It's the chipset on the adapter
Yes, that would be the usual way. Though, I am a little concerned since, as Kedrik points out, your hardware is supported in the kernel.
I'd like to suggest going a different way, instead. Reinstall Zorin OS.Try Zorin. Check that the net is connected during the Zorin Demo.Install Zorin app from the desktop and again, ensure that the net is connected and that you check the box for "Install Updates" as you go through the installer to on .

Yes something is incredibly wrong
ok, before i do this, firstly do you think it could be another setting in the bios that is preventing something?
when i originally tried to install and tried to use the live version first, i also did not have any internet which is why i went for the install in case that worked.
how do you delete the installed version to install a new version?
It will just overwrite it when you install - You can choose Wipe and install or you can choose "Something else" and select the same partition you currently have Zorin OS on.

That is possible - it is manufacturer specific, if so. I would usggest looking in your BIOS settings and exploring a bit or a net search, as you are more likely to know your BIOS than I am.
