this adapter only works for kernels up to 2.6, i tried in vain to get it up and running on 14.04. asus needs to let customers know it onlly works on legacy os's. – user408026 May 7 '15 at 23:24

There is a newer Linux driver for the underlying chipset "MT7610U USB" here: https://github.com/maage/mt7610u_wifi/tree/some_changes

This worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04.4, whereas the MediaTek drivers did not. The above is a fork of the MediaTek drivers which fixes the compilation errors and warnings.

Download the linux driver from here. The instructions are included in the zip folder and following them will install the driver. Reboot the system after installation to get your USB adapter working.

You can also refer to the user manual which you can download from here.

I bought this adapter yesterday, and at first it seemed like nothing helps to make it work.

Luckily, I found this: TP-Link AC600 driver on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64

P.S. It is a guide for TP-Link's driver, but it seems to do the trick for ASUS USB-AC51.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Please do not post duplicate answers on different questions. It just creates more work for the moderators. If the questions are so similar that the same answer works on each, then the later of the two is likely a duplicate and should be flagged as such. – Kevin Bowen Jan 16 '17 at 19:36
    
Oh sorry, I will be more careful in the future with that :) – Mojotti Jan 18 '17 at 5:28
