Help with usb wifi adapter, MTS-WIFI600

Good afternoon. I want to connect my notebook through wifi, I would like to use the 5ghz. I bought an usb adapter that has Chipset: Realtek RTL8811. I searched online and followed the instructions to install:
Install Build Dependencies (LTS Kernel)

Shell

1 sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel git dkms linux-lts-headers

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

Install rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git

Shell

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git.git

cd rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git

makepkg -si
It installed without any mistakes. I rebooted
But I don’t think the notebook sees the adapter:
