Can't install D-link DWA-171 drivers

[DizzyRope]

Hello, I’m new to linux and this is my 3rd day. Everything is great so far but the problem I’m facing is that I don’t know how to install drivers from a package as everything else was already detected. I went to D-link website and downloaded the ZIP file of the driver but didn’t understand what to do next. I searched online and I found out that I should use the make command inside the directory but when I do so i get these errors:

Hi,

@DizzyRope

I went to D-link website and downloaded the ZIP file of the driver but didn’t understand what to do next.

Thats usually not how we manager software.

It would probably be best to show the actual model:
How to provide good information

EDIT.
Oops. Nevermind I see it in the output.

rtl8821CU

Which means theres a bunch of AUR packages:

Please see the edited extra information above

(it seems you likely want the rtl8821cu-dkms-git package)

[DizzyRope]

You are amazing thank you for the help!
