No

Beware it is broadcom

It is RP-AC68U

Tech description

Particular SoC boot support is there, but no devices supported yet, or built.

But if you have plenty of time on your hands, realtek wifi certainly works as wifi client.

My bad, but I also blame Asus with their horrible naming scheme :upside_down_face:

Maybe there is a possibility to get this work. Not sure why the PR was closed. Moreover I saw a reddit post mentioning dopping support for Realtek targets because of lack of their support in upstream Linux kernel such as 6.6. I probably should look up if RTL8194AR and RTL8814AR do have support past 5.x kernel.

Thanks
