Are the rtl8814au drivers updated? I did a custom build and the custom drivers seem to get 25% more throughput.

 

I did a make from this guide Edimax guide: How to install EW-7833UAC in Linux running kernel higher than v4.4

 

The driver has updates for:

 

{USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0x8813),.driver_info = RTL8814A},
{USB_DEVICE(0x2001, 0x331a), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* D-Link - D-Link */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0b05, 0x1817), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* ASUS - ASUSTeK */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0b05, 0x1852), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* ASUS - ASUSTeK */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0b05, 0x1853), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* ASUS - ASUSTeK */
{USB_DEVICE(0x056E, 0x400B), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* ELECOM - ELECOM */
{USB_DEVICE(0x056E, 0x400D), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* ELECOM - ELECOM */
{USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xA833), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* Edimax - Edimax */
{USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xA834), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* Edimax - Edimax */
{USB_DEVICE(0x20f4, 0x809a), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* TRENDnet - TRENDnet */
{USB_DEVICE(0x20f4, 0x809b), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* TRENDnet TEW-809UB */
{USB_DEVICE(0x2357, 0x0106), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* TP-LINK Archer T9UH */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9054), .driver_info = RTL8814A}, /* Netgear A7000 */

 

It's planned but somebody needs to create patches and test them on 4.4.y, 4.14.y and 4.20.y

We use this driver with advanced options: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au It should be latest as well.

@Igor please let me know - I have an AWUS1900 with rtl8814au that is meant as an AP. So far I'm having little luck but I can spend some more time on testing. I can run on different hardware too.

Armbian comes shipped with the mentioned drivers above: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/53e4bc2d38cfd8efaab4579341530f2c0e01bf85/lib/compilation-prepare.sh#L229

For further debuggung providing armbianmonitior -u would be a great first step.
