That adapter was released with different chipsets, apparently:
ASUS USB-N13 rev B1 (0b05:17ab) • Realtek RTL8192CU
ASUS USB-N13 rev C1 (0b05:18f1) • Realtek RTL8192FU
So, if you have tried installing rtl8192CU and it doesn’t work, try installing
the updated rtl8xxxu-dkms-git ( last update Sept.2023) or maybe
rtl8192fu-dkms-git
pamac build rtl8xxxu-dkms-git
pamac build rtl8192fu-dkms-git
AUR (en) - rtl8xxxu-dkms-git (read commenters’ notes)
AUR (en) - rtl8192fu-dkms-git
Make certain that the appropriate linux kernel headers are installed for your running kernel. Also make sure that dkms is installed and that CUPS services are active .
