=========================
Can someone help me how to install the right drivers on this TNAS? Any help is welcome!

TOS 5.×/6.× only support Realtek 8812AU & 8812BU based adapters.

With current TOS being Ubuntu adjacent, you might be able to install drivers with a method that an Ubuntu based distribution would use.

So I'm in this topic and ask for help in installing drivers on storage.
========================

Can someone help and write specific steps to install drivers for Realtek?

1 You need a WIFI dongle firstly.
2 Once you have the WIFI dongle, plug it to the rear of the NAS unit.
3 Have the Lan 1 cable connected first upon power up of the NAS.
4 Go to the control panel > Network services > Network > Wi-Fi, when it stays connected, you may disconnect the Lan 1 cable.
5 And later on you may use the NAS wirelessly even if the NAS is rebooted.
Currently the TerraMaster NAS device only supports the USB WIFI dongle with the Realtek RTL8812AU in Dual Band 1200M.
