TP Link websites list the Wi-Fi adapter is supported with Linux. What is your kernel version?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

In your Software Updater check sourse is set to "Main Server", then see if any Additional Drivers are available to you.

Also. Seems they have Linux drivers on TP-Link website. Download for TL-WN823N | TP-Link

So Does That Means My Adapter Does Not Support Zorin16?

Thanks You For Replying,
I will try to do it right now

It should work, it's supported, maybe you should try @zabadabadoo solution.

If that does not work try the commands from below, open the terminal and write

git clone https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux

./install_wifi.sh

  • Note this should work for TL-WN823N V3

There is also more here regarding that error

I read the documentation that comes with the Driver install. It's for Ubuntu 14.01, but it should work on ZorinOS 16 as well.

Commands:
ls #directory of the driver ←(Access the directory of driver)
sudo make ←(Compiles the driver)
sudo make install ←(Installs the driver)

First Of All Thank You For Reply,
I tried That which didnt work

Now My only Problem Is Why Is My internet a bit slow?

13

Have you tried removing the WiFi Adapter and plugging it back in whilst in ZorinOS. Maybe in a different USB port.

NVM, i made it working as normal. I just restarted my router, the speed is normal now.. Anyway Thank You Guys For Replying. IDK why i wasted 3 days for searching for this instead of making a forum
Thanks You Again

This is quotable.
Sometimes, searching helps. Sometimes, it just confuses and getting a little extra help makes all the difference.
