I bought a wi-fi dongle and I can’t get it to connect to the internet. It displays the available networks but it never connects. It works perfectly fine on Windows 10. It uses RTL8192EU
Any solutions I was able to find require an internet connection, and, well, I don’t have one on my Manjaro

Are you fully up to date and have the latest version of the linux-firmware package? You should have 20210818.c46b8c3-1. You can check in Add/Remove Software or:
pacman -Qi linux-firmware | grep Version
If that’s already up to date, you can try blacklisting the rtl8xxxu module:
echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu.conf
After rebooting, it should use the rtl8192eu module.
Some people have had success with the AUR (Arch User Repository) packages, but it doesn’t really make sense that they would be necessary since the driver is included in the kernel. May as well give it a shot.
You can try either the rtl8192eu or 8192eu-dkms package and see which might work.
First install the kernel headers. It sounds like you have both 5.10 and 5.13 installed now, so install both:
