1. DO NOT install the Asus Drivers and Setup Utility !!! (I can not stress this enough.)
- Install the ASUS drivers in no case
- This is really important (see below)
3. Go to the Edimax Driver Download page using the link below and download the drivers.
- Same Realtek chipset, RTL8812AU, as the Edimax EW-7822UAC USB
- [...]
- Extracting Zip File
- Is a generic original Realtek drivers for USB 2.0
2. Plug in USB adapter.
- Connect the adapter
4. Go to Device Manager and select Update Driver Hanes Asus wireless adapter.

6. Enjoy your now, fully functional, 802.11ac adapter!
- Adapter is working
All's well that ends well? No, there were fortunately no blue screen more, but after a few hours, the adapter depends on. Windows thinking that you're still connected, but the connection to the router is dead. On www.amazon.com you can read a lot of comments on it.
So new adapter must be found (Netgear A6210). Driver installation with absolutely no problems (as it should be). But unfortunately he hanged himself Anyway after a few hours with a lot of network traffic. Then I noticed that the ASUS driver installation a 3rd party NDIS drivers installed for each network protocol (by Printing Communications Assoc, (PCAUSA) -. Rawether NDIS 6 SPR Protocol Drive). This is not removed by the uninstall program but ASUS. So drivers manually de-installed and lo and behold, the Netgear adapter works without hanger.
Unfortunately, I had already returned to ASUS AC56, otherwise I would have liked to test it without the NDIS driver.
There is only 1 star, because without a functioning driver there is no product.
Update: In the end, there was with the Netgear A6210 and various USB 3.0 PCIe card problems. Property me therefore completely away from the USB adapter solution for wireless AC and an additional ASUS RT-AC66 brought as a bridge. For old chipsets (X48), the USB 3.0 adapter solution appears not to be recommended (but no USB 3.0, no advantage of AC speed).
