Looking For A Linux Driver For My AC1200

I just bought this USB Adapter for my desktop and when I attach it no WIFI signals show. Is there a driver anyone can recommend or a link to a site that can provide one? I'd hate to have to take it back, but I hear Netgear doesn't have much Linux support!

    Hello, there, You seem to do things backward. First check if there is Linux driver for what you wanted to buy.  Ralink chip based ones usually have linux driver. Tried Google search?

      Thanks for the quick reply!  I'll take it back and check out Ralink!
