Hi,
may be feasible to integrate the Realtek 8812au wifi driver in to the s912 firmware?

Unfortunately many android tv-box based on s912 have a poor wifi chipset so I would use my external USB 8812au 802.11ac to speedup my wifi connection.

Thanks in advance for any support on this.

Regards.

Thanks for the reply,
I have just seen that your image already have 8812au.ko kernel module in, so I cannot understand why it is not loaded when the wifi usb dongle is plugged in.
Any suggestion?

UPDATE-1:
today I loaded the driver with insmod and it loads ok, but when I connect the USB wifi dongle it is not seen.
after a long google search I discovered that the driver included in your rom did not have my device id in it.

[mention]Nayam[/mention] Are you able to recompile it for me including my device id? dev ID: 0bda:a811

Did you ever succeed with this? Or could you explain your steps for insmod?
My speeds are horrible with internal wlan on S905W. I have always used CoreELEC with this USB wifi adapter.
My dev id is 0bda:0811 if someone can compile this.
