I suggest that you get a temporary working internet connection by ethernet, tether or whatever means possible. Open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git dkms
git clone
sudo dkms add ./rtl8814au
sudo dkms build -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21
sudo dkms install -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21

Reboot with the device inserted and your wireless should be working.

I used the answer above for 18.04 as well. Had to create an account for GitHub first. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install git dkms git clone ( will ask for username and password) sudo dkms add ./rtl8814au sudo dkms build -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21 sudo dkms install -m rtl8814au -v 4.3.21

That solution didn't work for me. But after the installation of realtek 802.11ac driver netgear A7000 works fine now. (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS)

The steps are on this blog post

The driver is from this Kali Linux repository

Simply download the latest .deb package for the driver from there, and install using a command like this (depending on the version you download) in the same directory as the downloaded file: sudo apt install ./realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms_5.6.4.2~git20200916-0kali1_all.deb (tip: type realtek and then press tab to get the full name!).
