These are the files i downloaded, the top 5 are Dir, how do i install these in Ubuntu 20

Solution 1:

It is quite often the case that the manufacturer provided driver files are outdated and won’t successfully compile on newer kernel versions. However, let’s try and find out. Please open a terminal and,with a working internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
cd ~/Downloads/tp/TL-WN781ND_EU_V3_180409_linux/
make
sudo make install

If there are errors, post them as well as the result of:

lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3
