Hi, I'm new to OpenWRT and I'm having a problem. I have a WiFi dongle, specifically a Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter, and I want to set it up. However, I don't know which drivers I should install. If anyone has an answer, please type it in the comments below!
Friends don't let friends run Realtek wifi (nor Broadcom).

Shortcut: plug adapter in fedora or debian and find driver with ethtool -i wlan5
We cannot help without lsusb and ubus call system board
Sorry for the delay, but here’s the information you asked for:
lsusb Output:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux 5.15.150 xhci-hcd xHCI Host Controller
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2001:3314 Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 USB2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux 5.15.150 xhci-hcd xHCI Host Controller
ubus call system board Output:

}
try 8811au or 8821au but according to https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi_Chipsets.md you might need to update to a snapshot to get proper support for it.
Okay Thank You
