WIFI driver for my Netgear A6150 dongle

I Just got this neatgear A6150 dongle, it comes with a cd, but those drivers are for windows and mac OS. Any recommendation as to how to find these drivers and install them. Done a few research, but cannot come up with anything. Thanks.

This may help:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dkms git bc
git clone -b v5.6.1 GitHub - fastoe/RTL8812BU: Realtek RTL8812BU Driver for Linux
cd RTL8812BU
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

Hi. Thank you for the reply. I was able to install the drivers i think. I see my wifi now, but when i click on it its asking me for (Authentication required by Wi-Fi network) Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the Wi-Fi network

If this is your router and you have never connected to it before, the password to connect is usually located on the physical router via a sticker.

I got it. i am an idiot, i was using the wrong keys. I really appreciated the help, thanks.
