I am attempting to install drivers for my wifi adapter (Netgear Ac6120 Wifi Adapter)

The adapter shows up when I type

$ lsusb

After following these steps

$ git clone https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210

$ cd netgear-a6210

$ make

I get this error

Update 2

After following the steps you mentioned i got an internal error but i wasn't able to catch what it was and it didn't show after restarting twice

The wifi adapter is showing up connecting to the wifi now
so thank you for that

it does take a little long to connect (about a 1 to 1 1/2 minutes ), is that just how the adapter runs on linux/ something i'll have to accept?

"it does take a little long to connect (about a 1 to 1 1/2 minutes ), is that just how the adapter runs on linux/ something i'll have to accept?" The original question, that your interface didn't show up, has been answered correctly, no? If it is now connecting but is slow, I think that is the subject for a new question.

With a working internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libelf-dev build-essential

Then try the 'make' step again.

EDIT: The git repository you are using hasn’t been updated in two years. It is incompatible with kernel version 4.15 and newer.

Now let’s install a better driver. Please download this file: https://github.com/kaduke/Netgear-A6210/archive/port-to-4.15.zip

Right-click it and select ‘Extract here.’ Now back to the terminal:

cd ~/Downloads/Netgear-A6210-port-to-4.15

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe mt7662u_sta

Your wireless should now be working.

Please tell me how it proceeds; I will probably have one final step.
