installing tp link tl-wn822n on ubuntu 18.04
okay so im having some issues. im very new to linux at this point ive only used it for about a day. and i bought a tp link wifi adapter for better internet. while ubuntu seems to notice it and connect through it, im having a lot of trouble downloading and installing drivers. the guide they give seems to have incomplete commands for me to follow along with in terminal and the only drivers im getting are a folder with some text files and code. i was kind of following it until it told me to compile the drivers by going into the driver directory. i don't know were whats installing to. please i dont want to bother people but im totally lost and i don't want to feel like i just wasted 30 dollars on a hunk of broken plastic. and so far ive only seen threads about it on ubuntu 14 and 16.
also im very sorry for not giving you the wireless info script. terminal keeps telling me its unable to resolve host adress, this is also not a connection problem its a speed problem.

The TP Link instructions are a bit vague. You download the driver ZIP file and unzip it. This will create a new directory with all the necessary files in it. Then you docdinto that new directory and enter commands like 'make clean' and 'make'.
