Install driver for tl-wn8200nd wireless adapter in Ubuntu 16.04
I found this procedure to correctly install driver for TP-LINK WN8200ND. Use this GitHub repository.
- Follow the installation procedure.
- Reboot machine (My is Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS)

I am trying to install driver for my TP-Link wireless adapter TL-WN8200ND on Ubuntu 16.04.
Without installing any driver manually, wireless networks are present but when I connect it shows a status of disconnected and doesn't work.
I assume this is a driver related issue, so I tried different solutions I found:
The given driver rtl8192cu-dkms wasn't present in the repository.
It was installed correctly but the problem persisted.
- I also tried installing
rtlwifi-new-dkms
but the problem persisted.
I don't know What to do next? Is there anything I am doing wrong or missing any step?
Here's my wireless hardware related info.
